Background: There were twelve in our group. Ages 7-80+. I have been on two other cruises and my Mom and Aunt have been on several. This was the first for everyone else.
Embarkation: Embarkation went great, it took about ten minutes. Coordinating twelve people was a challenge; however everyone eventually made it on board with ease.
Public Rooms, Cabin: All were exceptional, the best I've ever seen. I was upgraded to D1089 from a GUAR HH. I was very happy with my cabin. It was spacious, clean, quiet, had a gorgeous view, and it was in a perfect location.
Perfect location, close to front office, shore excursions, dining, and lounges.
