Embarcation was a smooth and eventless system. Rooms were ready at 1:30PM as promised. Lunch onboard was okay. The dinig area was severely overcrowded. They were definitely not set up for the numbers that were coming through.
At 1:30 we headed to our stateroom. The space and set up was as expected. Teh bathroom was a shower only facility but maybe a little roomier than a few other lines. The sink had chips and cigarette burns, but was clean, the carpet looked worn, but was clean. There was a stronge sewage smell in the bathroom most of the trip, but did not permeate the rest of the cabin. the pubic bathrooms had nice freshner scents so no smell in them. The beds were some of the most comfortable beds we ahve ever had on a cruise.
The entertainment was really nice. We saw the first show and were very impressed with all the singers and the performers. the cruise director has a great voice, too bad she did not participate in the crew talent show. The lecturer was also good. The staff top to bottm were some of the friendliest I have ever encountered.
The cabin was dated. bathroom was clean but sink area chipped and stained. Bed was very comfortable for a cruise ship. we were amazed. Balcony area was nice, but nothing better than any other balcony room we have been in.
