Background information This was our ( me 41, partner turned 40 on board, daughter 4) first cruise. My partner and I had been to all the ports so were looking at the cruise as a resort at sea.
Ship Information
We arrived by shuttle bus about 12, dropped off our bags and were ready to have a walk until 1.30 ( our allocated boarding time) but there was only a few people waiting so we asked and were told to line up. The process went very smoothly with min waiting. Cabins weren't available until 1, so we found some of the many comfy chairs and waited the 15/20 min.
Cabin 7550. We found it was easy get to everything. Lifts and stairs were close by. Cabin was very quiet. There was a good amount of storage for a small room. We had a good view out to sea but couldn't look down and see the water because of the life boats. Good size balcony. 3rd bed was a single sofa bed, OK for a young child but would have been very uncomfortable for an adult or teenager.
