I boarded in Quebec...so easy, I was one of the first to board! Boarded ship on the 5th deck and just walked up to the next deck and my room was forward Deck 6 right near the stairs and forward elevator - very quiet and handy. I was concerned being on the Lower Promenade Deck that I would not have much privacy because of people walking past my window all day. NO problem! The window is mirrored and no one can see in at any time, even with the lights on! I could walk out my door and around the corner and check the weather easily. I also would go out to watch the ship get into the dock or leave.

I like the food in all of the areas. Dive-In Bar hamburger was great. LOVED the Souffle Grand Marnier in the Dining Room - best dessert of the whole trip! We spent lots of Happy hours in the Ocean Bar listening to the Neptune Trio. They were friendly and played all requests. Jonathan was our favorite waiter...so quick and efficient. He ALWAYS remembered our names! All of the staff was friendly and helpful to us whenever we needed anything, and even if we didn't need anything!

If Derrick Cameron is on your ship, go to his show. He is SO funny - family comedy and pokes fun at himself and daily life. THe Bob Mackie Broadway Show was enjoyable, too.

I'd pick 321 again anytime! Cabin attendant was great. Room was handy to deck, stairs and elevator. No noise unless the deck attendants were folding up the deck lounge chairs and putting them against the wall by my window. Walking down just 2 flights from the 8th deck (where lots of the action is located) is very handy.
