This was my first cruise. It was a family cruise consisting of me(14), my brother(12), and my parents. We sailed the Eastern Caribbean(8/23/09-8/30/09) Being my first cruise i didnt really know what to expect... Thats actually why i joined cruise critic and the meet & mingle.

Boarding: Boarding the ship was actually quite organized and fast. There were lines but they moved quickly. The secruity check went by very quickly, and we were boarded within about 45 minutes. From there we went straight to the windjammer for lunch because the rooms werent available to enter yet, we boarded around 11 AM.

Stateroom: we had one deluxe oceanview balcony stateroom. There was one queen size bed for my parents and a pullout couch for me and my brother. The room was very clean and set up nicely. The bathroom was clean and small, but you dont spend all of your time there. Its big enough for what it is used for. There was adequate room in the stateroom considering you really only sleep there.
