Have to go along with Buckaroo Dad's very concise answers; but I think you might need a little more........
IMO the most important thing is to READ the Navigator. There is soo much to do. I remember on our first cruise we checked the Navigator and thought we did a lot. Then we got home and really read the Navigator and saw we could have done more.
That said - we like Deck 10 for the Goofy Pool Sailaway Party. You can see what's going on; but are not in the crush. You can hear the whistle very well from here.
We have breakfast and lunch at Topsiders as much as we can. Can go to an inside restaurant at home.
Do not miss Disney Dreams!
In Key West the Trolley or Conch Train gives a good view of most of the city.
We did the tour of Grand Cayman as we don't dive; it was very interesting.
Hope this helps.

I think the best place to be, once aboard the ship HA! HA! Buckroo's dad, is on deck 10, forward around the basketball court. You can look for the dolphins that sometimes swing in front of the ship is she is leaving port.

Not sure about the best times for eating at Topsiders in the morning they open at 7:00 or 7:30 check your Navigator for the daily schedule.
One of the best places on the ship is on Deck 7 aft, there is a large open deck there it's the best place to be when the ship is backing to dock at Castaway Cay.

Hearing the whistle-anywhere on deck 9 or 10.

We don't do the ships excursions, we go on our own. I do research everything before we go.

Key West- we rented an Electric Car to sight see, lots of fun. If you love Key Lime Pie you have to try a a Pie-Pop from Blond Giraffe, 629 Duval Street, it's a small place. It's a piece of Key Lime pie frozen on a stick then covered with chocolate. YUMMY!!!!

Grand Cayman - we rented a jeep and drove from one tip to the other stopping at Rum Point to swim, get in a little snorkeling and lunch. Then we went straight to Hell to send off post cards to my Oh!!!! so loving MIL. LOL

Cozumel - DH and I got a cab to Mr. Snachos for a day of sun and fun without DD who wanted to stay aboard to play in the Oceaneers Club with her new freinds.

BTW- See you there

I can help with Key West stuff - I have pamplets, coupons, books etc on Key West that will help you while you are there - there is no cost except on the self address envelope you send to me to fill up - you are most welcomed to write me at snelsonbrown@aol.com and will give you the address etc.
As I said it is worth it and I have different companies that will give discounts to you since I am a "conch" and they extend conch rates to those that ask for it.
Hope this will help with one question asked.
Always
