This was our first cruise. We chose this ship because we live in New Orleans. We chose this particular cruise because it included a stop in Jamaica.
We had a check in time of 10-10:30. We got downtown around 9:45, but by the time we parked (Fulton Garage), took the shuttle, and eventually found a porter for our bags, we did not get inside to begin check in until almost 11. We were assigned zone 7. Around 11:30 they began calling the first zones, and within 20 minutes our zone was called.
Once we got on board, we went up to the lido for lunch. We bought some drinks from the roaming waiters and ate. Afterwards we walked around the ship to look a bit then went up to play mini golf until our cabin was ready.
Loved the cabin. Good space for 3 people, balcony was incredible to have. I worried about noise from the galley above, but I never once heard any noise from anywhere. The location on the ship was great also. The closest elevator brings you right up to the aft pool, and elevators were never full being on deck 2. We would definitely book this cabin again. Highly recommend.
Very pricey, but it was fun. I would go back.
