We had a couple sea days and stops in Grand Turk and Amber Cove. This trip was all about relaxing and exploring this huge ship. We didn't go on excursions or even stay ashore very long because I had knee surgery coming up in January.

San Juan, Puerto Rico First breakfast: We would run up to the coffee shop one deck up where they have fruit bowls and other breakfast items and bring them back to our balcony 2022-12-27 10.14.07.mp4 2022-12-27 15.29.26.mp4

I'd been wanting to have this drink at the fortune teller bar. We usually have dinner the first night at the steak house. I love that french onion soup! Christmas Day was cool and drizzly: 2022-12-25 06.58.53.mp4 2022-12-25 12.48.57.mp4 The following day was sunny and bright! The infinity pool on Deck 8 (I think) was my favorite spot 2022-12-26 06.54.31.mp4

I'm always late posting reviews of our cruises so while the weather is hot & I'm inside keeping cool I thought Id go ahead with a Christmas review. We flew out of San Luis Obispo, CA and changed planes in Dallas. We were just ahead of some big winter storms so we were nervous about making it, but thankfully it all went pretty smoothly and we arrived in Orlando on time and 2 nights ahead of our cruise. We stayed at the Cape Crossing Resort & Marina We got checked in and ate at the restaurant near the hotel: Dolphins 2022-12-22 18.17.46.mp4

Which nights are elegant nights on Mardi Gras? Thank you😀

About how far is it? I'm having knee replacement in January so I have to pace myself but I was hoping to go to the sky bar. Thank you for your review. My son & daughter in law are UNT grads. 🙂

What was the rainbow drink called & which bar was that at? I need to try it 😀

I think the chairs and umbrella at Jack's Shack were about $20, but I don't remember exactly.

We ended up going to Eagle Beach, but I think we should have gone to Palm Beach instead. I don't know about Arashi.

I got an email saying it's write a review day so here goes! We sailed on March 20-April 3 in a 2nd floor cove balcony. This cruise was originally scheduled for May 2020 & like many of you we got canceled and we rescheduled many times. Finally it was time for our cruise, I continued to be very nervous about having to cancel until after our negative covid tests. We tested early Thursday morning and we flew out on Saturday for our Sunday embarkation. We flew into Orlando, arriving after midnight, and got a hotel shuttle to Hampton Inn & Suites Orlando Airport @ Gateway Village. In the morning we took a Go Port bus to the cruise port. The port area was pretty organized, they corralled people into areas according to their scheduled time, ours was 11:30, then we filed in, showed our verifly and walked right on the ship. It was all vey smooth. We then decided to have lunch at Guy's Pig & Anchor
