This was our first time we did not fly to our port of embarkation and it was great. It just couldn't have been any easier. We parked right at the port and we were on the ship in less than 30 minutes after leaving our car. I have to say We were expecting to see a lot more wear & tear on this ship considering her age, but we were pleasantly surprised. The only area we found to be showing a little age is the pool deck. That being said, it really didn't detract from the pool deck area or the ship's beauty. We stayed in cabin 8610, our first JS. The room was probably a little smaller than the JS's on newer ships but we still found it roomy. I usually bring an over the door shoe holder to help store all our little things, but I did not use it on this trip. There was plenty of storage. We ate almost all our dinners in the main dining room and found the food and the service to be very good. We took advantage of the My Time Dining option but we still had the same servers every night which was nice. One thing we did notice about this ship is that it seems to have a strong appeal to the older set. We saw more scooters and walkers on this ship than we have seen on all our previous 7 cruises combined. This is probably because we usually cruise on larger ships which are less appealing to older passengers. This being said, it really didn't take away from our fun. There were still plenty of younger passengers to mingle with. Our 17 y.o. son also enjoyed himself even though the ship didn't have the bell & whistles found on the larger ones. There were plenty of other teens to hang out with. Although I think we will probably choose to cruise on larger ships in the future, we will still look back at this cruise fondly. It is a great ship for relaxation with a little night life thrown in.

Cabin JS

Our cabin was actually kind of noisy. It always sounded as if they were either moving deck chairs or running a relay race.
