Embarkation: Arrived at the port about 12:30pm. We are Platinum and found the line moved pretty quickly.
Cabin: We had a mini suite near the front of the ship. These now have a dividing curtain between the bedroom and sitting area which we liked. The balcony is small but we found it fine for the two of us. Our stateroom attendant, Jay, did a very good job and the cabin was always spotless.
Dining: We had traditional dining at 5:30pm. We thought the food was excellent and ate in the dining room every evening. Both of our waiters were great. Also enjoyed the International Cafe and Alfredo's. The Horizon Bistro & Court seemed very crowded at times and could be hard to find a place to sit. I tended to avoid it in favor of other dining venues.
Very nice mini suite. Only noise we heard was if TV in next cabin was too loud. It has a dividing curtain between bedroom & sitting area. The sofa is full-size. Balcony is small but adequate for 2.
