Wow. That's all that really needs to be said but obviously I will say more. This was my first time on a cruise. That being said, I have traveled the world with the military and also with my family. Typically, we chose an all inclusive resort in a tropical location. Each vacation was fun but I am now convinced that cruising is the only way to go.
The boarding process can get a little frustrating only because there are so many people trying to board at the same time. You will have that with any cruise, I'm sure. As soon as we were on board we were greeted with a glass of champaign. From that point forward, we were treated like royalty.
I HIGHLY encourage everyone to purchase an all-inclusive drinking package. It was so convinient and you didn't have to worry about a huge bill at the end of the cruise.
