I cant even begin to tell you how amazing this ship is! I began planning this trip before it was even built. One issue after another it kept getting pushed further and further back when finally the time was perfect.

This trip started on January 8th and it was just me and DH. We flew in early from providence into orlando. I booked a night at the radisson at the port. I used priceline and bid pretty low, around 60 dollars and won. They offered a shuttle from the airport, for me and DH cost $50.00. When I got there they gave us a free upgrade into a king suite. The room was huge and the pool was amazing. That evening We had drinks and appetizers inside and the bartender was super friendly. We walked to the racetrack gas station and bought a case of water for 4.00 and some beer. The next morning the radisson offered a shuttle to the port for 6.00 a piece. I had already checked in online for the cruise and signed up for the 10:45am slot. There was practically noone there, it was so quick and painless and we were boarded in group 4. We were on the ship around noonish and went up to get lunch on the 11th floor to cabanas.
Ok enough talk! Ill show you some amazing pics!

we left friday and the sail away party was a lot of fun!

On Saturday we watched the patriots WIN and the bartender at 687 lounge was awesome!!

Nassau was alot of fun, we booked an excursion. The junkanoo and forts tour. I'll be honest, at first I wasn't sure what I got us into, but it turned out to be really nice. We saw the island from so many different views and we learned a lot of history too. I would recommend it.

Castaway cay was nice too, we rented bikes for 10.00 and rode around for quite some time. Then we chilled out on the beach and had a nice FAB

The night before we left we had this lovely surprise reminding us we were going home to cold!

My favorite part of this cruise was the food! SOOOO MUCH!!!

We did all 3 shows- The golden mickeys, villains tonight and believe. All were great. We ate at all 3 restaurants- The royal palace, enchanted garden and animators palate- AMAZING! Our server was Nappong, he asked us to call him Pong and I literally fell in love! he was awesome!

I have no complaints except for the car rental issue we had for our trip back to the airport. Our flight wasnt until 9pm so we rented a car from Hertz. The guys over there that day, not so good, But I got the car and went to kennedy space center which was a fun time and then to MCO and then home

I tried to add everything I could remember now, because it just went so fast! So since it went so fast I had to book 3 more nights for May 11th. 2015 for me and my 22 year old daughter!!!!!
