Additional details
Well where do I start? Probably the fact that I read a fair few reviews about the ship prior to our holiday and with a couple of negative feedback reports had my expectations set to low. In the end I've found that either the passengers were on the wrong ship or nothing can please them.
Our experience was as follows:
EMBARCATION: Super easy and quick if you read your ticket booklet properly and note the time you are meant to board. We were deck 8 so we boarded at 11am, it took less than 10 minutes to go on board with our 4 children.
Cabin Review
Large Interior Stateroom
CABINS: We were in cabin 8085 and 8087 on deck 8 towards the rear of the ship with an inter-connecting door, one cabin for my husband and I and one for our 4 daughters. We did initially freak out when we saw only two beds in the girls room but that became 4 beds after dinner when they set the room up properly. Both cabins were clean, neat, new and spacious considering you are on a ship not in a hotel room. We had two new, clean and neat bathrooms with fresh crisp linen in both cabins. Our cabins were super quiet, peaceful and comfortable not near the lifts or public spaces. Each cabin comes with a hairdryer and you will need an adapter if you wish to use your straightener or shaver as the plugs are USA based. Both cabins were cleaned twice a day to such a high standard that even a matron with white gloves would have been pleased :-)
