Sail Date: May 2012
Cabin: Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

This was our first RCCL cruise. Although not our favorite it was a good time.

Embarkation was smooth and orderly. We left out of Bayonne and it was very convenient. The buildings and grounds could use some updating, they look old and worn. Staff was friendly.

We meet our Room Stewart Daniel right away, very accommodating and friendly. Our baggage arrived rather swiftly which was great because of RCCL's policy of not lending irons we needed to get out clothes out and hung ASAP . Other cruise line we have sailed will allow the steward to bring you an iron to press your clothes with the understanding that they will return within a certain allotted time to retrieve the iron for safety. Unfortunately my husbands suit coats did not make the trip well and needed to be pressed. The good news is that the ship laundry only charged $2.50 per coat, they were returned the next day by 5 pm.

Cabin D2

Good location, quiet, near enough to elevators. Balcony large enough. Enough space for clothes and other items. TV in a not too convenient spot.
