Left Vancouver on June 4th, was told not to go to check-in until 12pm, but went early and were allowed in. Check in was fast and had seats to sit in until we were allowed to board. Boarding was also fast and went right to the room. Was able to look around on ship and go eat right away. Luggage took a little while to get to room, but OK.
Had a balcony room which was nice. We were able to sit out and watch the land and sites go bye. Lots of room under bed to store suit cases and more room in the closet area. Bed was comfortable and room was always clean.
Food was average, I'm hard to please. I did have one pasta dish which I would have had more and more, but was full. I didn't care for the fancy/special dining rooms. The food selection was not to my liking. Had a steak that was more fat than meat. The first formal night was unorganized for the formal pictures. Lots of people and long lines. Hard to know who was in line and who wasn't. The second formal night was better, maybe because we went earlier. The formal picture are over priced. I think $20 for an 8 x 10. The ship gives you coupons and maybe your travel agency. The ones I got from my travel agency gave me a better deal than the ship did.
