My husband dropped us off at the curb while he parked the car. This was our first cruise so we weren't sure what to do next. It was unnerving being told to just drop our luggage and get out of the way. I wasn't sure if I would see my luggage again. We arrived at the terminal at 10:30 like we were told. We waited in line until 1:30 to board the ship. Very unorganized! The room was great. Spacious and clean. And yes, our luggage arrived. The balcony was small but it was very nice having coffee in the morning watching the ocean go by.

Waited in line for 90 minutes in Port Canaveral just to go to the beach. Once there it was nice. Our excursion to the Great Stirrup Cay was cancelled due to high seas. They could not get the Tender boats back and forth from the island safely so it was cancelled. I am glad that they do think of our safety. I don't know how true it is but from what guests and staff were saying 3 out of 4 times the excursion to GSC gets cancelled. I think they need to rethink the stops the boat makes if that's the case. Same waiting time for Atlantis. When we finally arrived we were told that the one ride we were most looking forward to going on, "Lazy River" was being maintained and was not working. Then one of the other slides broke down and was closed for the rest of the day. Atlantis is not what it is hyped up to be. Do not waste your money. The line for the lockers took us 45 minutes too.

The food on the boat was great. We did not pay extra money for the "finer" restaurants and were very happy with the quality of food. The workers on the ship were very nice and willing to make your experience a good one. There are smoking sections but by the end of the cruise it wasn't enforced where people could smoke. We had to walk away from the outside bars many times due to the amount of smoke being blown our way. Overall, we had a good time. It was nice getting away and taking advantage of the Drinking plan. Don't fall for the "Cruise Next" people trying to give you a great deal to book another cruise while on the ship. You can find a better deal looking on your own.

Very nice cabin. We had three people and we did not need all the storage provided. Plenty of room under the bed to store the luggage. The bathroom was large and the shower was nice and roomy. Always had hot water.
