Arriving at Embarkation was easy but the walking starts immediately when you take the transfers. Your luggage is dumped at a warehouse and you proceed a nice walk to the check-in area. My check-in was a bit of a problem as my Sea Card was not on file and I waited over 30 minutes to get it before boarding. As noted by another passenger the rooms were not available until 1 or later and not knowing this I sought out the Hotel Manager to complain. Mr. Taggert, a Canadian who is a Saints Fan (I am from New Orleans), was extremely hospitable and offered me the opportunity to leave my carry-on luggage in his office while I familiarized myself with the ship and the Windjammer Restaurant. My experiences in the Windjammer were excellent. My experience in the dining room however were far from good starting on night one. Our Asst. waiter filled our water glasses and gave us bread and then disappeared. I talked to the Head Waiter and the following night the Asst. was not working our table. Scheduled for a 10 top I was disappointed when I sat at a 6top with only one couple and three empty chairs. The third night out our Asst. Waiter returns along with three new people. I asked the Head waiter why the Asst. was sent back and he said "He wanted a second chance." I said that was fine but not at our table (the Asst. waiter stayed the rest of the cruise much to my displeasure and caused the original couple at the table to leave and not return the rest of the trip).

I had a room overlooking the Promenade and loved it. No noise at all (I was in the noise when it happened so it didn't bother my sleep). The room was large and the bed very comfortable and housekeeping outstanding.

I took the shuttles into Dubrovnik(via a tour)and Ravenna. My concern was that anyone from the boat could get on the shuttle going back free as tickets were not checked.

Cabin Review

Promenade Stateroom

Cabin PR

I had a Promenade room overlooking the Promenade. It was like heaven. Big bay-window with a sofa bench so I could sit at the window and look out over the happenings on the Promenade. I had a sofa bed and the usual twins put together to form a queen. Closet space was adequate for me but might have been tight if I had a companion traveling w/m. Drawer space was so tiny I left underwear, T shirts, shorts and sox in my bag until I used them. The bathroom was adequate and very clean. The standard desk was adequate for me. There was a small table in front of sofa bed that probably didn't need to be there as it took up valuable space. I was in Rm. 7609. Oh the noise level in the room- Well can't tell you cause I was down on the Promenade making the noise when it was happening. Not much noise at 2 am on the Promenade
