This was a cruise for 5 couples aged 45 to 62. Two couples never sailed before and three have sailed before from 2 to 25 cruises. We have been on the 25. Most recently on RCL (3) and HAL. We had 2 cabins with obstructed views and 3 mini-suites.

Embarkation and disembarkation probably took a total of 20 minutes, the best I have ever seen.
