I want to start by saying that the staff was truly amazing. They could not do enough! I had issues booking activities on board and was concerned because we would not arrive till just before 1:30. I wrote a letter and got assistance from the executive office. They were wonderful. We were able to at least experience most activities on the ship. Ifly was fun - but only one minute long. Escape room was okay, but you can only do it once and it took us 35 minutes with 12 people in the group. Northstar was nice as well. So all these activities only took a few hours. What else to fill 4 1/2 days at sea?

We tried to keep busy since it was really too cold for the outdoor pool and the indoor pool was packed. I found that there was little entertainment during the day on sea days. I think that more options are necessary. Honestly, there are a lot of spaces that are barely utilized - like Vintages - which was usually empty. Even the Bionic Bar was fairly empty most days. As far as our stop in Cococay - it was canceled due to rough sea conditions. We headed straight to Nassau - but most everything was closed! Not sure why it took so long to get to Florida. I wonder if we couldn't have moved a little faster and arrived when things were open! or perhaps flip the itinerary?

Here are some areas needing improvement:

Nice room. Good size and lot's of storage. Suitcases fit under the beds and I couldn't even fill the drawers and cabinets.

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

We got a taxi from 888 TAXI at the dock. They are the ONLY one's there. Cost us $100 round trip for 4.
