FIRST CRUISE EVER(and probably only cruise)
Sooo.....I just spent the nice part of an hour and a half speaking with a very awesome and patient woman about booking my first cruise. I got a free certificate from Harrah's for a free cruise. However, after doing much research and knowing how I and my boyfriend are when it comes to food, drinks, and internet....it was decided that using our certificate and upgrading was not in our best interest. So I did book the cruise without the certificate but with about 1k savings by still booking on the special phone number. So come November 22 through the 29th I will be with my boyfriend sailing from NYC To Orlando To Bahamas and I could not be more excited. I booked a Haven Aft Penthouse w/ Master Bedroom and Balcony. This booking came with Ultimate Drink Package (Free booze!(well not free but eh), Ultimate Dining Package (One specialty restaurant a night for the 7 days), 250min Free Wifi, $75 port excursions credit(per port I was informed), AND $200 OBC!!! I CANNOT WAIT since this is the LAST extravigant trip I will be doing for a VERY VERY long time. Oh yeah, and Diamond gets 10% off. So that helped too.
FIRST CRUISE EVER(and probably only cruise)
@SoCalRob, me & my husband went with our 3 kids, we had two inside cabins. Believe it or not, we would have paid the same price for two balcony rooms but my husband was afraid my 7 year old would hang over the balcony.
We loved the ship, we were hardly in our inside cabin. Expect the 1st full day at sea and the 2nd to last coming home to be a little cold cruising along the east coast in Nov., but the pool is heated and there is so much to do all over the ship.
By my 3rd day I earned enough in the casino to get a drink card so at night me & my husband had free drinks in the casino.
We absolutely loved the hibachi restaurant and we also had a good meal at Sea Blue. I didn't love the Italian restaurant but I cook my own Italian and my taste for Italian is on a high level. These were 3 of the restaurants that you pay extra for.
Rock of Ages and Burn the Floor were fabulous. You are going to love it, we even did a Magic Kingdom excursion and for us it was worth it.
