 Our first ever Deluxe Suite!  Probably our last, but the stars were aligned correctly for this cruise that we lucked into this suite.
nice size couch with queen size fold out bed.  Good sized coffee table, too, for the couple times we ate dinner there.




Our suite had a king-size bed, bathroom with dual sink vanity, full-size whirlpool bath, shower and additional shower stall, large sitting area, dressing/vanity room, large private verandah, sofa bed for 2, floor-to-ceiling windows. Approximately 506-590 sq. ft. including  the verandah.
Ken's shower.
good sized verandah with table and chairs as well as loungers.
Queen sized fold out couch which Angie said was comfortable.
 It was a short distance down the hallway from the Deluxe Suites' private Neptune lounge. The  Neptune Lounge was for Penthouse - SC suite guests only.  I was surprised how much we used it---from a quick drink or snack, to booking dinner reservations through the concierge stationed there, and even for checking Angie in when we arrived in San Juan.

 Here's the main stage.
 The culinary arts room
 the main pool area
                                              the adult pool (aft pool) area
the casino
They even have a screening room.  Although we thought the daily movies all looked good, we only made it to "Source Code" and "Limitless".  We even got free popcorn there.

The Canaletto was another of the free restaurants that we really enjoyed.  It is in the corner of the Lido Restaurant, but still has a private feel to it. The waiters even took on Italian names.  We tried to eat there again after Angie joined the cruise, but couldn't get reservations for the night we wanted to go.
And there were travel presentation on the ports we were going to.  I was impressed with the travel guide.  I asked a question she didn't know the answer to, so she researched it and sent the answer to our room.
Most afternoons they also had a special tea.  This one was their Dutch Tea which was held in the Rembrandt Restaurant.
 We also attended a champagne art auction for a little while
We did go to a couple of the nightly performances in the main theatre, but Ken didn't care for the HAL singers.  He did really enjoy the illusionist, though.  There were no other special performances, not even a comedien, so we only went to 2 main stage performances.

Touring the spa.  Would have been nice to join, but we're too cheap.
 The new Tamerind Pan-Asian restaurant
 In the Crow's nest.
We enjoyed the Eurodam---especially the deluxe suite and it's perks.  Before now, I never knew what we were missing!
