Embarkation couldn't have been quicker. We arrived around 2:00 pm and boarded immediately. No lines or waiting anywhere.
Our cabin was nicely decorated and didn't show any wear except for some scratches in the bathtub. Yes, I said bathtub unlike many ships that only have tiny, tiny showers. Our Cabin Steward introduced himself immediately and gave us his card in case we ever needed assistance. He and his assistant always had our cabin looking great.
The violinist, Valeria, and the pianist, Elena, were excellent and really seemed to enjoy performing for us nightly. Dexter, the aft pool beverage person, was so friendly and eager to help us with our morning coffee and engage in conversation.
Cabin was very well-located, no noise or motion. Its easy-access to the elevator was appreciated as well.
