This was our very first trip, and we had no complaints at all. Embarkation and Debarkation went very smooth. We arrived at the port around 1115am, and were able to get through in about 15-20 minutes. Not sure if that's normal, but that was our experience. We chose self carry on our return, and we were out on the curb in about 50 minutes (from walking out our door to curbside pickup). We were in a balcony cabin 7638, and really got a kick out of being on the balcony at night having a glass of wine. Plenty of room .... very spacious. Our cabin attendant, Dindo, was absolutely fabulous and we chose to tip him very graciously every day for his services as well. At one point, there was a slight smell in the restroom, but it never made an impact on us, since we were out of the cabin most of the time. However, we did spend some time in the cabin relaxing on the couch or just on the balcony enjoying the view.

We had breakfast and lunch at the Windjammer, and yes, it was a bit crowded, but we expected that so it was not a big deal. We chose to eat in the dining room Friday and Saturday, and in Chops on Sunday night. We never had a problem with our meal. We were on My Time Dining, and just called down before we wanted to go down and reserve a table for two, no big deal there. I read a comment about dirty public restrooms, but that was not my experience. We really didn't care for the food in the Solarium, so we only ate one time on Friday (immediately before muster) and chose not to eat there again, but we did enjoy the adult only pool and hot tub. I used the one outside of the main dining room on several occasion, and never had a problem with them being nasty.

We went to most of the shows in the theatre, and they were a bit corny, but hey this was a cruise ship, we expected corny. I checked our account everyday to ensure the charges were accurately reflected on there, and never had a problem with it. I even met a wonderful lady working at Guest Relations, Lorena, and she made sure I was always taken care of. These employees are so kind, and welcoming, that you cant help but to enjoy your time.
