Let me start from the beginning: embarkation. This was way faster and easier than I imagined. From the time we got to the pier to the time we were on the Lido deck with our cabin key in hand was about 40-45 minutes. I had heard all the horror stories on how it takes several hours.. not for me!
The ship had just been refurbished a few months back, so apart from the tacky decorations, everything looked great. The cabin was actually bigger than I expected. I don't think I would recommend anyone to have more than 3 people in their cabin, otherwise it may be a bit crowded. But for 2 people, it was perfect.
The service onboard was pretty good. Several staff members were constantly walking around with brooms making sure to keep everything looking neat.
