I'm pretty confident those dates have two Perfect Day at Coco Cay stops instead of one.  At least whenever I'm noticed it on Mariner sailings that has been the case. 

I recently upgraded from an inside to a balcony on my Navigator cruise in April when there was a big price drop, so I vote do it!  

I will have to read your blog and relive our cruise!  My husband and I are the same age as you, and we just got off the Symphony three days ago.  We sound very similar, loved our balcony for morning coffee, toured the forts and Old San Juan on our own, did Maho Beach on our own in St Maarten, got back on the ship around 3 and played on the slides, and enjoyed the jet skis in Labadee.  We had a blast and were blessed with perfect weather!  Awesome ship and crew.  Jamezy with the cruise director staff is hilarious, we enjoyed trivia and the game shows in On Air that he hosted.  We also enjoyed the specialty dining.  We walked into Chops on embarkation day and she was able to schedule all the restaurants/times we wanted.  Wonderland was good, and I recommend it, but a little too theatrical for us.  The mad hatter interrupted our dinner a number of times, the first time it was funny, and then it just got cheesy and weird.  But I'm sure others enjoy it and have different opinions.   Have so much fun and safe travels!
