A group of ten family members on this trip 9 to 76 years old. Embarkation was prompt, we arrived at 2:30 pm and were on the boat in less than half an hour. We had no special designation.
First time on a Voyager type ship having cruised Princess last year and Carnival Glory the year before. I was impressed with the ship. The common areas were beautiful and large and it didn't seem like there were 4,000 people on board. Cabins are small but well proportioned..the shower will be a problem for a large person..(I'm 5'8 185lbs and kept banging my elbows against the door, god forbid you drop the soap).
The shows were first rate, really, you could not ask for more. The magician was wonderful (I'm a big David Copperfield fan), the first comic, (Cutter?) is not to be missed. The ice show is wonderful. The sets in the main theater can only be compared to a broadway production.
