In starting my review, I am trying to think out my words very carefully. Overall, I did enjoy my cruise. However, I did not enjoy the ship.

Embarkation: Overall my embarkation process went very easily. Probably due to the fact that we had the "Skipper's Club" so we were able to go to a private room with no line to do our paperwork.

As far as the amenities of the room, well they non-existent. Read more
