Itinerary: Caribbean
This was my first time ever going on a cruise. It was my birthday over the week of the cruise and I never had more fun. I found the places we stopped very interesting and the service on board the best I've ever had
The public areas where very well put together. The clippers bar was the best to lounge in the afternoon with a book and a drink and then at night the Can Can lounge takes the cake. The shows in the Can Can lounge were the best I've seen in a long time. In the morning it was best to run on deck. The promenade deck was run'ble in the morning but great for a relaxing walk before or after dinner. The only problem was on windy days it was hard to walk or run on the front area of the boat.
Ii ate every one of my dinner meals in the dinning room because it was amazing. not only the food but the service and company also. at the beginning of the cruise you are whit people you don't know but by the end they are really good friends. every night it is great to see what is new on the menu. a word for the wise, the dinning room is very back and forth during supper and if you have sea sickness it's a little hard. when in the dining room wear sea sickness bracelets.
we had a quiet cabin. It was placed in the middle of the boat so we didn't move at all. i'm only 110 pounds and 5'5 so I can't tell you if the shower was fair sized or not because to me it was very big. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty closet space which was great because I brought so much clothing.
The only think that helped me get through the days at sea was the entertainment. I played as many games as I could and then at night I watched as many shows as possible. My favorites were the production of eclipse and the newly wed game.
My favorite stop was in dominican republic when we went to the outback safari. The activities planned on shore are very tourist friendly. It was easy to know where and when to get to places and the tours where extremely full of information. We also got a full day of shopping in st. maarten. The pool was salt water so I didn't do much swimming on the days I was at sea but I went in once or twice and the are fairly deep.
The passengers are very friendly. It's a mix or people from canada and people from the UK. I made such good friends with some of the other passengers that I've been invited to spend time in england and the same has been extended for him to come to canada.
