This was my husband's and my first cruise. This vacation was to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary.
On the day we were set to sail, we arrived at the port at 10am. Now we know this was probably a little too early. We did a lot of sitting and waiting. They didn't start boarding anyone until 11:45am and maybe even a little later. Next time, we will wait a few hours longer. Once they started boarding, everything ran quickly and smoothly.
Dining: The lunch in The Windjammer after boarding was okay. We didn't eat lunch there anymore, however we ate breakfast there every morning as it was good - we never left hungry. For snacks, we went to Sorrento's a few times and sometimes we ordered in room service. Both were fabulous! For lunch we went to Johnny Rocket's and it was great! We just couldn't eat as much as we wanted to there! We ate all of our dinners in the main dining room and I would rate all of the food as a B+. I have for sure have better at 5 star restaurants, but I understand that they are cooking for 2000+ people, so for that, they did a pretty god job. I think the dish that they did the best were the steaks, and the soups were pretty awesome too. One day we ate lunch in the main dining room and it was a much nicer experience than lunch in The Windjammer.
