This was my first cruise, so I have nothing to compare it to. However, other than a couple of small things that could have happened at any hotel, etc., we had a great time.
Embarkation was easy-peasy. My husband has some mobility issues and when they saw him with his walking stick, they immediately asked if he needed the 'short line'. Once we got on, which was very easy, we made our way to our stateroom.
Food was amazing, other than one meal that I didn't like, plus one dessert that I didn't like. Considering we ate plenty of food, 2 so-so meals was not a problem. The MDR food was amazing...appropriately presented, tasted great, and was served at the correct temperature. Our serving staff was excellent...Luis was very good, but our assistant, Gustavo Garcia, was amazing.
Our cabin, D735, was on the back of the ship with a wake view. We had an amazingly large balcony with somewhat uncomfortable chairs, but not a big deal. The room was clean but somewhat dated. Our shower, toilet, and sink worked with no problems. Our steward, George, was very good.
