Sail Date: Sep 2011
Cabin: Junior Suite

First time on a ship this big. First time in a Junior Suite. Neither disappointed us. The walk in closet was, for me, a dressing room. So much room that I only unpacked into that closet. I would bring a magnet mounted mirror for the closet wall, next time. Appreciated the large tub, w/my own bath salts. Appreciated the in room electric coffee pot w/essentials. Made an excellent cup of coffee. Asked for and received the ice bucket w/refills throughout the cruise. Refrigerator w/room for some of our added beverages. Didn't need a power strip, but did use a multi-tap socket for 110V. Brought our own battery operated nightlite w/motion sensor. Kept us from bumping into walls during the dark nights. We were located forward, starboard. If you book a port cabin, the Manhattan Skyline w/the Statue of Liberty will be on your side as you sail away.

The ports of call were Excellent. Only disappointment was the weather, but we still managed to do all we intended to do.

Portland,ME: took a taxi to Freeport - great day for lobster rolls and outlet shopping. Good street vendor shopping a few steps from the ship in Portland.

quiet location. room furnishings are worn. did have a flat screen TV. great walk in closet - bring a locker-styled magnet backed mirror. Bring bath salts for tub soaking. great balcony with a good view of the bridge where we often received a wave back to us. bring a battery operated/motion sensor nightlight.
