Embarkation- Not the most organized. People were standing around everywhere crowding around the roped off area. Once embarkation began, it was very smooth,
Ship - Beautiful ship, almost identical to Liberty and Freedom. We enjoyed the adults only pool in the back. Although the seats are taken pretty early in the day, people leave regularly so we were always able to find seats. Not a lot of shade back there though!
Dining - we had the worst main dining room service of all our cruises. We had to wait for a table every night, sometimes over an hour; dinner service took over an hour, even though we knew exactly what we wanted when we sat down. Food came out cold - and my warm melting chocolate cake was cooked solid almost every night.
This is the best cabin we've ever stayed in. We didn't notice any extra motion due to the forward location at all. The room is huge and very quiet. The location on Lido can't be beat - about a minute's walk to the pool and bars....and Guy's!
