My Father got the Oceanview Cabin so I'm wondering if they give free upgrades as its a Repo Cruise? I don't mind spending time on deck to mingle with the people.

I can barley catch my breath because I have been talking about taking a cruise for many years. I was waiting for the perfect itinerary. I could have gone to Mexico a few years ago but decided to wait and do a transatlantic crossing.

With the many transatlantic flights that I have done in the last couple of years I wanted to try something a bit more relaxing than a flight. With all the action of a resort.

I was reading many reviews online on the different cruise ships and picked Royal Caribbean Serenade of the Seas because of the consistent ratings it got on different websites!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your tips and let me know if you have anymore tips!!!!!!!!
