Getting to the ship and embarking was a breeze. We were in line maybe 20 minutes at the most and were in our room. In fact we got there about 90 minutes early and still boarded the ship.
The ship itself, one word, Awesome. I have been on 3 cruises previously and this cruise was definitely the best. The ship is beautiful. We took a guaranteed room (bunk beds)and were upgraded to twin beds. The room was larger than expected and had more than enough storage space. The bathroom was immaculate and had everything you could need in a pretty basket, shampoo, conditioner, toiletries, mints.
The food was great. Lots of choices, from deli sandwiches, burgers and fries, pizza, a great dinner in the dining room or the buffet which also had lots of choices and was very good. You NEVER would be hungry on this cruise. The staff was great, and there was always something to do. We never even knew we were moving, it was so smooth. I can't wait to take this cruise again, next time to the Caribbean, it just wasn't long enough.
