After reading some of the negative reviews here I was hesitant to book a cruise on this ship. I was also a bit hesitant being on a boat for 22 days with so many sea days. But it was such a low price since it was a repositioning cruise I decided to book it anyway. I was sure glad I did. Most of the complaints people have are nit picks to me.

Embarkation - smooth. Took about 30 minutes to go through the assorted lines and find our way to our cabin. Went to the buffer for a late lunch, bags were waiting when we got back from lunch.

Although the ship is 5 years old, there was nothing significant broken, overworn, or old in the common areas or my room. Booked an inside cabin on deck 10, first time on an inside and did not miss the window. Great for sleeping late on sea days and didnt spend a lot of time in it anyway. The room had plenty of space, a large open close that separated the bathroom from the rest of the room which I liked. So you can step out of the shower and get changed in front of the closet while someone else is in the bed area. Tv was not an LCD flat panel but didnt mind. Had about 20 channels with about 5 working when sattelite had bad reception which wasnt a big deal. Got to watch some football games. I was pleasantly suprised at the size of the bathroom, the toilet was well laid out so you didnt bang your knees on the wall or door. Water was always hot in less than 10 seconds and water pressure was good too. Read more
