First off, I want to just say that YOUR cruise is what YOU make it. We are not hard to please, but somethings get to even the most laid back cruisers.
Embark- Fairly easy, a small back up getting into the building but overall went pretty quickly.
Room- We booked a 9C-Premium Vista Balcony and it was EXCELLENT! Seemed roomier than most regular balcony rooms, and the balcony was spacious! We had two chairs, table and chaise.
