This was our second cruise and we enjoyed every single moment (as opposed to the first one, which was sometimes pretty miserable).

The first thing to mention is the embarkation. It was just amazing. The ship left after 4 pm but people were allowed to board from noon. This made the boaarding super smooth and easy. No waiting lines, no crowd. We were on board around 12.30 pm, we were allowed to enter our room at around 1 pm, we had a relaxed lunch at the Windjammer by 2 pm, we booked our excursions by 3 pm, awesome (our previous embarkation half a year ago rather looked like the transportation of the pigs to the slaughterhouse, 4500 people in one space waiting in line for hours and then waiting for hours for the elevator, it was just a complete disaster).

Our cabin was on the 8th floor and it had a little balcony. It was spacious and very beautiful. The balcony had two chairs and a small table, we enjoyed so much spending time out there. Read more
