After waiting only about an hour and a half to board it was nice to see that you could go straight to your cabins to drop of your hand luggage.

My first impressions of the ship was the fact that you can tell it is a brand new ship, everything new and shiny, I do like the ultra modern look of if, as for the cabins I have to say they are quite a bit smaller than most. We had an aft cabin on deck 9. The balcony was huge nearly as big as the room, it had 3 loungers 2 chairs and a small table on it. The bathroom was a fairly good size, did have a problem with the placement of the closet being so close to the couch, if you were sailing longer than 7 days I could see storage being an issue. Being aft we were very close to all the action Everything seemed to be on 6,7,8 & 15,16 so it was very easy to get around

The food on board was I think the best so far on a cruise from the buffet to the specialty restaurants. The only thing I thought was a bit off putting was the fact that in the specialty restaurants (Cagney's and Le Bistro) you used to be able to order anything you wanted off the menu, but now you can only have one Entree, if you want another you have to pay $10 for each additional. In Ocean Blue you can only have one appertizer, one entree and one dessert, for $49 I thought this was a little pricey. The food was good but not that good. I am sure some people used to order everything then not eat it, but I would only order what I could eat. Anyway that was my only negative about the food Read more
