Transatlantic Crossing 4/24-5/9/2014 Embarkation:
We spent the night prior to the cruise in Fort Lauderdale. Transfer from the hotel to the ship was complimentary and easy. Check-in was efficient and took around fifteen minutes. Since the staterooms were not available until 1:30 PM, the Ocean View café was overly crowded with little sitting room available. Staff did not really assist guests to find searing. Some of the food offerings ran out and there was general confusion.
Stateroom:
We were in cabin 8086, Concierge class. It was located midships, was quiet and very comfortable. We especially liked the cabin layout as it felt larger than it was. There was ample storage space for fifteen days’ worth of clothing. The cabin was very clean and had been upgraded so appeared fairly new.
