Just got back from the 19 - 26 November cruise and have to say we had a great time. A group of 10 us travelled and we arrived in good time but unfortunately the line extended beyond the entrance to the building. The line moved fairly quickly until we reached the non US citizens line and then we had a very long wait as only one desk was allocated to this. Nearly two hours after arriving at the pier we embarked. Not a very good start but thankfully this was just a minor problem to what turned out to be a very good cruise.

We had a Penthouse (Dominica) and others in our party had category BA rooms. The Penthouse was a decent size but I thought could have been laid out better. That said, it worked well and we appreciated the extra space, the free laundry service and free internet facility. Our cabin steward was great and always had the cabin ready on time.

The ship can carry 3,600 passengers and this being a Thanks Giving cruise saw that capacity pretty much taken up. Crowds weren't really noticeable however and only on the last night around the photography area did we see large volumes of people. Read more
