Boarding the ship: A long line to check in and then escorted to a waiting area. Yes, it is better to wait inside, then outside in the hot sun. However it is the longest we have ever waited to board a ship. The process was approximately 1.5 hours before stepping onboard.
Yes, it is a beautiful ship ! Still appears new, which will not last long if they continue to allow it to be overrun by kids. Parents not watching their children. Kids running around and standing on chairs and window sills in dining areas. Cons: If you like room service you must pay a $8 fee each time. Yes each time. If you want an adult beverage and don't get the drink package look forward to paying approximately $10 for a cocktail (alcohol amount questionable) or $8 for a beer. The best deal for beer was a $13.75 pitcher with 18% gratuity. Yes 18% on all, individual drinks or drink packages. This is the most we have ever paid for an adult beverage on a cruise.
