This was my first cruise. I am confident that our honeymoon could not have been any better! We had an absolutely incredible time. Cruisers: Me and husband (first time cruisers in our 30's)
Cabin: We had a mid-ship, starboard side balcony cabin on the Baja deck (B607) and our cabin steward was fantastic. The room was what I expected and I am very glad we "splurged" and got the balcony. It made the room feel so much larger when we opened the blinds, and I loved sitting on the balcony and reading (occasionally dozing off)!
Dining: We did traditional dining (second seating) and really enjoyed our tablemates. The dining room staff had to politely kick us out each night! For any first time cruisers - I highly recommend at least starting out the cruise with traditional and then changing to PC if you don't enjoy it. Our waiters were a lot fun and they made dinner even more enjoyable. The dining room food and the buffets met my expectations, but Sterling Steakhouse definitely exceeded it! The steaks were excellent and it was well worth the extra $15 each.
