My wife, children, and I have traveled all over the world. Both on our annual vacations (typically one or two) and my time served in the US Navy. As far as Cruises go, this is our third different Cruise Line we have tried. We must say, it was pretty disappointing compared to the other two. I will try to be as detailed as possible so that this review is actually published.

Embarkation: A fairly long, single line that moved at a relatively slow pace. All told, it probably took about an hour to get to our stateroom. We were allowed to bring one bottle of wine onboard, and I did like that our luggage was transferred to the ship directly from the airport. The embarkation crew were very polite and courteous.

Stateroom: Our room was actually very nice and spacious, with a window view on the bottom level of the ship. The disappointment came with the bathroom, however.

The room was always warm, despite the thermostat setting, and the tapwater was HEAVILY chlorinated.
