Embarkation was a breeze ,we arrived at the terminal about 11.30 and because we are Elite we walked straight to a desk and checked in, I guess we were on board in about 15 minutes of arriving.
We thought the ship was beautiful and this opinion never changed during the cruise.
Our cabin was well appointed , on deck 7 forward, our cabin Steward was excellent and always spoke to us and smiled.
Nice cabin at the very front of the ship , but it was very noisy early in the morning when we docked due to the anchor being lowered or the ropes being attached.Unfortunately there were lots of door slammers along the corridor and next door.
