This was my third cruise, the first one for my partner and just one of many for his parents. Even though my previous experiences were very good, this one far exceeded my expectations, especially as I had read reviews that were not always very complimentary. So here I am to put the record straight. For ease of reading, Ill break down my comments by category, as several other reviewers have done before.

Embarkation: Went very well. We had flown into Miami the day before and spent the night in a hotel in Hollywood. Our coach drove us to the port around 12 noon and having read other reviews about the importance of arriving early, I was expecting long queues. Instead, embarkation was smooth. It was incredibly quick and efficient, and we could benefit from a virtually non-existent queue at the immigration desk for non-US citizens. We were then directed to the ship that was waiting for us. Our baggage was handled beautifully and was duly delivered to our cabin later on as expected. We were told to help ourselves in the Lido Restaurant, on Deck 9, which we did with no problem and no further queuing in spite of the many passengers following the same advice.

Cabin: We had a deluxe veranda outside stateroom. I confirm that our beds were exceptionally comfortable: only ours at home could match them! This was particularly convenient on our cruise as the first day we had a rough sea and spent most of our time in our cabin resting. Our choice of clothes fitted perfectly in the wardrobes, provided with lots of hangers. Our bathroom had a bath tub, which I found very comfortable for either a bath or a spacious shower. We liked the veranda, where we could sit to enjoy the view or communicate with our relatives next door thanks to the mobile dividers. Unlike what I had read in other reviews, there was neither a rumbling noise, like an engine noise, in our room, nor a sewage odour anywhere on the ship.
