We've been pretty hard on some previous ships for various reasons. But we can honesty say that this ship ranks as one if not the best ship experiences that we have ever had.
Embarkation: Smooth for us, we were on board within an hour of getting there. We took a shuttle from the Springhill Suites at 1045. However, other people at our table said it took 4 hours to get on when they got there around 12:00. So, I guess the recommendation would be to get there prior to noon. But overall, it moved smoothly for us.
Decor: It really didn't bother us at all. Granted it was a lot of pink, but so what. The wall paper on the halls were actually very nice and I'm guessing was trying to relate it back to the 30s/40s decor. But it was fine for us
