We had never been on a cruise and thought this would be a fun family vacation. There were 2 adults and 2 kids- ages 13 & 7.
No problems getting on to the ship. Cabins weren't quite ready but we boarded a little earlier too. We were able to walk around and familiarize ourselves with the ship's layout.
We went to get a bite to eat and the lines were incredibly long - ugh. But, we survived that.
