My husband and I booked this cruise throught the cruiseline about three months ago for my birthday celebration.As we usually do, we rode the Nj transit into the city. The train was so crowded, I was surprised to see that one lady on the train thought it was ok to sit on my husbands luggage. We walked to the pier from penn station.We arrived at the pier close to 1 and was escorted to a special boarding station where I was on the ship within minutes. I would say, my boarding experience was pleasant.
We were in a spa balcony cabin 1049 starboard, but at first, we walked into the wrong room. We were greeted by our cabin stewart, Rossario who told us to try the key, when the key didn't work, we checked again and finally found our room. We were close to the stairs and elevators and I never book that close to the hallway , but im glad I did. It was a great location and happy I upgraded from 7201 to 1049. As the week went on, I found that Rossario was excellent and really knew his job. I didn't go one night without a towel animal and my room was always spotless.
The entertainment was just ok the first two days, but was excellent as the week went on.
