This was our first cruise and it was fabulous! I am 23 and my husband is 29. I spent A LOT of time on Cruise Critic researching and talking to other people on our sailing through the roll call board. I am VERY glad we met up with the folks we met on the board. It made our experience 1000 times better.
We flew in the day before and stayed at the downtown Radisson. I'm glad I got it through Priceline... I was not impressed and would have been upset if I'd paid regular price.
Embarkation was a BREEZE. We were expecting a long wait since we didn't get there until around noon. There were several lines in the process, but they all moved quickly. They never asked for my FunPass, not sure why.
