We were in a connecting Balcony cabin on Deck 7. I am pleased to say that there were no issues with noise from our next-door ship mates, who had a toddler with them, or the hallway, and I know the baby cried a lot, since I could hear her when I was at the outside cabin door, but not inside our room at all! The cabin seemed very large to us, the way it was laid out. The bed was next to the balcony facing forward of the ship, and with no coffee table, it seemed very roomy. We had a nice size couch and more than enough drawers and storage space. Two hanging closets, one of them was in the area with the safe and shelves, and big drawers under it, the other one was full length. The desk area had 5 drawers plus a large one for the hairdryer above the mini frig, which worked very well to keep our items cold. There was a small full-length shelf across the desk, so you could place your items that you were charging, right above where the outlets were. I think there was 2 wall outlets and 2 USB ports there. The only other outlet we saw was to the left of the bed above the nightstand. We requested an extension cord from Patricia, our cabin steward, so that we could both use the fans that we brought with us. They had to be UL approved or similar, and ours were. I also brought magnetic hooks with me, so I could hang our robes and a few other things, near the door or couch, instead of everything in the bathroom. The walls don't seem to be made of strong metal. except for near the connecting door, because these were strong magnets that I can hardly move at home, but would slide down the walls, when I put things on them that weighed only 2 pounds at most maybe? Anyway, it worked out just fine, because they would stop sliding if I hung the robes on them gently. I found the room to be very clean, since we always wipe all surfaces down first thing, with Clorox wipes, and they didn't show any dirt or them. Patricia did a great job! She offered us an evening cleaning of the room, since my husband likes to sleep in, and I loved that! We didn't have to be concerned about getting out of the room, or missing our once a day clean up, and she kept ice in our cooler for our glasses, and got us everything we asked for, right after meeting her. We requested robes, since it was a little cool at night on the balconies, the extension cord, and that she would keep ice in our cooler bag. The shows were engaging, and entertaining. The cruise director did a great job! He was funny when he should be, and respectful for the Military appreciation show, and I really enjoyed him! The Aqua show is not to be missed. They did an outstanding job! The synchronized swimmers and the divers were magnificent! I actually only reserved the ice show, since I knew I could always see the Aqua show without needing a seat, and I'm not into the Broadway type shows. I missed seeing any of Hairspray, so I can't talk about that, but the ice show was well done and engaging. We had My time dining, and I reserved the 6:45 seating for us all week. We went around 6:30 every night, and were lucky enough to have a great team and the same table every night! We had Charles and Ongky for our servers. I prefer a set dining time, and table, but 5:00 PM is too early and 8:00 PM is too late for us, plus they weren't available anyway when we booked the cruise. Anyway, we really lucked out with these two guys! They were entertaining, and the food was always served hot, and the ice cream not melted. They made good dining suggestions and kept our glasses full and our table cleared. We had prepaid our gratuities and also tipped extra to them and our room steward. As a side note, we are Diamond Plus in the loyalty program, so I always tip as I go for our free drinks, and since Ongky would get us drinks from the bar, I also tipped him as we went for the drinks, and then at the end for his dining service. As far as the drinks, they were tasty, and had the right amount of alcohol for me, but I don't drink a lot of alcohol, so I can't speak for others. My husband drinks beer, and he was happy with the choices offered. Food in the other venues was just fine. Somethings were really good, and others were ok. The servers or staff in the other venues were very nice and helpful Embarkation went smoothly, no waiting in long lines until you got to the front, then it was about a 5-minute wait until it was our turn to be helped. No big deal at all. We had completed our check in and health questions, and also did the safety briefing at the hotel, we had our set sail passes ready to show and passports in hand, so it went very quickly. It is a lot of walking to get to the front of the line, snaking through the ropes, so if you have a mobility issue, you really may want to use a wheelchair or some other form of help. I saw a poor elderly woman who kind of had to be held up by her family, as she went a long, and I felt really bad for her. My DH has breathing issues, and we had to just walk slower and stop every now and then, which was probably frustrating for those behind us, but we all got to the same bottleneck in the front, in no time. Disembarkation for us was great, and it seemed to be working really well for all! We just had one wheeled case each, so we didn't check them through, and we were in no hurry to leave, so we waited until about the last ones off. The line at the ramps did not exist, like in the old days, and by 9:30, we were all off the ship. The lines outside the terminal for shared rides or Taxi's was crowded, but with so many ships in port, I don't know how it could have been any better. The hold up was for the vehicles to get across the bridge into the port, so as soon as they made it through the traffic, they pulled up for the next passengers. We took a Taxi to the Brightline station, and actually the driver offered for 2 more passengers going to the airport I think to ride with us. It cost us $30.00 and the driver said he would start the meter when he dropped us off, for their ride, so they saved a lot, and ours was a fare price. Ubers were going for about $28.00 and the same wait time until they could get to us, so we felt it would be harder to find our car and driver, than just being in line for the taxi. Jumping back to travel to Miami and the port, we live in Florida, so we drove to the Brightline train station in West Palm Beach, parked for $12.00 a day in their covered garage right next to the station, enjoyed the premium seats on the train, including lounge access with sandwiches and assorted snacks, drinks, wine and beer self-serve in the lounge, and then cocktails and Sparkling wine on the train plus a snack, all for $54.00 per person into Miami. I highly recommend travel from this station! We stayed overnight at the Grayson hotel, which we booked through RCI in combination with Priceline, and treated ourselves to a bayside with balcony for about $260.00 total including tax and hotel fees. The location was right at 1100 Biscayne Blvd, and we could see the port from our balcony! We were located on the 15th floor, with a hotel pool view in front, and the nice size bay view balcony in the back of the room. They gave you a welcome champagne at check-in and the room was well appointed! I would defiantly choose these accommodations again! At 11:00 AM on cruise day, we checked out and took a $6.00 UBER ride to the port. Traffic wasn't too bad at that moment on a Sunday, even with 10 ships in port, and all went very well! Also, if you are in the city, take advantage of the Free Metro Mover to get around Miami. Check it out on YouTube. Very safe with security either on the train or at every station, and convenient. Enjoy your next cruise!
My Family a party of 8 at the start was disappointed our original ports of call had been changed due to Hurricane weather! We didn't plan on a trip to the North Halifax . I stayed on the ship during that stop. I fekt I was on a trip to no ware My room attendant name IKETUT gave A-1 room service. The service at dinning on Deck 5 at 5 PM was superb.! Servers named ALEXE Waiter and Assistant BUDIASA very professional, exquisite service. Activities aboard were well planned and the theatrical entertainment ,. I never used the pool facilities however, bought a spa package and relaxed. The children had fun watching them use the water slides. Although we did not get what we paid for, the service was the best. I'm contemplating on another cruise early 2026. Weather wise I think it would be ideal. We did enjoy
