It is a beautiful ship. As we drove up we realized just how big it really is.
Embarkation went smooth with a moderate wait. If you get there early don't take much in your carry on. You cant get to the room till 1pm and stuff gets heavy. Most of our bags were there by 1 with the last bag arriving a couple of hours later.
The ship is beautiful inside as well. Central park is a very pretty place. I would many days eat breakfast in there and find a quiet place to read. Note that at each entrance and near the shops and restaurants are umbrella stands with loaner umbrellas. It is open and you can be caught in the rain like we did.
Excellent cabin. Right off the elevator. Thought that might make it too noisy but it was not. We slept soundly each night though that might have been because we were so busy every day we were extremely tired.
