This was our fourth cruise (2nd with RCI) and our first outside of hurricane season!!
Embarkation was relatively painless. We didn't encounter anything out of the ordinary. We found our cabin right away and were satisfied with it. It was a bit on the small side (our cabin on Princess was a similar category but much bigger) but adequate.
Embarkation day was chilly. Some people were brave and laid out by the pools, but most had towels wrapped around them! We checked out the Promenade and loved it! It's just like a mini-mall in the middle of a huge ship! We immediately purchased the soda card and a wine package (my husband loves the reds).
