We found this to be the most fun and enjoyable cruises we've done to date. Upon reading other reviews posted after this cruise makes me feel like I was on a totally different cruise. I think much of it is that it is what you make it. you can sit around and mop about the things you don't like or you can turn it around and find things you do like to over ride the negatives.

We flew in on the red eye the morning of the cruise and lingered around the airport having breakfast and a change of clothing before getting a cab to the port. Upon arriving at the port it was extremely busy as the previous cruisers were still coming off the ship. We only had to wait a short time for the porter to come and take our baggage and we were directed up a flight of stairs. At the top of the stairs we found check in. We were among the first to arrive therefore did not have a wait at all. After checking in we were taken to a lounge area for suite guests. We have never booked a suite before so really didn't know what to expect. The spoiling began here. By noon they were ready to start boarding and we were in the first group to be taken to their suites.

We were thrilled when we saw the size of our suite. It was a large room with a walk through closest and a big bathroom with tub and stand alone shower and two sinks. In the suite we had our sleeping area, a living room area and a dining area. The decor was quite nice and those wall to wall floor to ceiling windows were awesome. We opted not to get a balcony suite as we knew being on the Atlantic in New England/Canada in October we wouldn't be using it. Our only complaint about this suite at any point was the fact it was a bit chilly. We had the thermostat as high into the red as it would go and it was still cold. I contribute that in part at least to the outdoor temperatures and all of those windows. Read more
