I was in awe as soon as we reached the port! The ship is so majestic walking up to it. We checked in online, so checking in at the port was a breeze. We were greeted at the entrance and directed right to the dining room where we had lunch. There were buffets galore. I had a stir fry dish that was wonderful. We walked around exploring the ship until it was time for the safety drill on the deck. The drill was chaotic and loud, so if we were gonna sink, I probably would have drowned or been very confused because I heard nothing.
We were told luggage could take some hours, however, ours was at our cabin right away. We checked the kids into their kids clubs and threw on our bathing suits! The kids had a great time in the water park area and my husband and I relaxed.
The activities were ok. We weren't able to experience too many of them because we wanted to make sure the kids were able to do all they wanted to do. Considering their ages are wide ranges, everyone wanted to do something different. The nightclub left a lot to be desired, however. It was just short of a strip club in there and it was pretty empty. We didn't stay very long.
The cabin size was comfortable enough for my husband and I. The bathroom was a decent size as well. The only disappointing aspect of the room was the fact that there is no iron available. Having to share with almost an entire deck of travelers is very frustrating and inconvenient. Especially not having been told ahead of time so that we could be prepared. The room could be more sound proof. Lots of hallway noise. But, I loved the fact that there were no windows and we could sleep as long as our eyes would stay closed.
