This was my 1st cruise, I traveled with my husband and in-laws- they had been on a cruise about 10 years ago. My husband and I are 26 and my in-laws are in their 50's. We all had a good time. Overall, I loved the ship- it was HUGE, luxurious, and beautifully maintained.
Embarkation was a breeze- we arrived at the terminal around 11:45 and were shortly enjoying lunch at the Windjammer. We were able to get into our rooms at 1:00 and then we went to the Solarium pool, which was not yet crowded.
Stateroom- We had an inside room, which was perfectly fine. It's small, but we expected that. It was very clean and had plenty of creative storage space. The bed and sheets were very comfortable, the bathroom and shower were very nice. Our stateroom attendant was very good- we had towel animals every night except for the 1st night, our bathroom was always clean when we came back at the end of the day and evening, and we loved the chocolate mints on our pillows every night. Honestly, we were only in our room to change/shower and to sleep, so the inside cabin was a great deal for us.
