Our experience was much better than we expected considering the person in our group that booked the trip didn't realize it was a holiday week for many schools and would be full of children and their families eager to have a great time and it seems from the reviews I've read we had a much better time than many of those families.
We are two couples in the "over 60" age group. Embarkation was delayed and a very slow process but given the ship arrived back to NYC behind schedule due to nasty weather we felt it went as well as could be expected. We found a few seats in a sunny spot and waited until most of the other passengers had embarked. We were having our first cocktail and snacks at O'Sheehans by 3pm.
This is a very large beautiful well maintained ship. We had a balcony cabin on the 9th deck which suited the two of us fine. The balcony is small but it didn't prevent us from sitting out there each day the weather was nice. Prior to booking this cruise I'd read negative comments about the crew. We couldn't have been more pleased with those crew members we encountered. Everyone we encountered was pleasant, and went out of their way to be friendly and get to know us.
Plenty enough room for two people, comfy bed and plenty of storage.
