This was our first cruise and it was great. Took us a few days to figure out everything the ship had to offer and after that we really enjoyed ourselves. We probably went overboard (no pun intended) with excursions as we did two in every port, which didn't let us enjoy the ship as much as we could have.
Getting off and on ship was fast and efficient. Areas around the ports felt like tourist traps, but not anything that wasn't expected. Since this was our first cruise, we played safe and stuck to excursions booked through the cruise line. Reservations were easy through the web site and quite flexible in terms of making and/or cancelling.
Ship's crew was absolutely great! Our cabin steward was first rate, as well as the formal dining staff. Could not have asked for more from any of them.
Cabin was more spacious than I was envisioning, but even so, any more than two would have been a tight fit. With just two of us though, it was fine, as was the shower! Wasn't bumping my elbows all the time...had plenty of room. Cabin steward was first rate and was in several times a day to make sure everything was taken care of and we had everything we needed. Could feel the ship sway a bit where we were, but it wasn't enough to bother either of us.
