Went on this cruise with my wife and daughter who is 12 years old we flew from Manchester flights went well and we arrived about 9.30 got a private transfer with resort hoppers the service was excellent and not badly priced compared to the over priced ncl transfers
arrived at the terminal and decided to drop suitcases off and found the check in desks weren't opening till later so we got a water taxi into the town to see st marks square etc returned later on to board the ship and had to sit for a while before we embarked.
on boarding the ship we went to the cabin 9530 balcony and found it to be a decent size we still had to wait for our suitcase even though we had dropped them off 4 hours prior we flew from manchester in less time than it took our suitcases to move from the port side to the cabin.
