Embarkation was non-eventful and expeditious. We were on the ship by noon. Appearance of the ship was above expectations, as we explored the public areas before going to our room, which was available at 1:00. There were more than enough bars with different themes to keep us entertained (we thought) - more about that later.

We had a balcony room which has plenty of room and worth the extra - one of our favorite activities was sitting on the balcony reading and drinking the AM coffee. Room layout was good, and bathroom had ample space. Closet/storage space is plentiful.

A favorite is usually nightly dinner with the assortment of appetizers, soups, salads and entrees. The food was blah and not what I had experienced on other cruises. We didn't ever try the supper club, so can't comment on that. There is a 24 hour pizzeria which was decent.
