Just a little background on us. Our family consists of my husband (38), myself (31) and our two boys (12 & 4). This was our first cruise experience but I had done a TON of research prior to this vacation-I am a little OCD when it comes to vacation planning.
PRE CRUISE Friday-Monday
We left home on Friday, 9/2; it's about an 11 hour drive for us from Louisville, KY. We used it as an opportunity to take the kids to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. Interesting stop if you are into classic cars.
We were in cabin 4479 and let me tell you this room is HUGE! HUGE doesn't really do it justice; it HUGENORMOUS! We LOVED it! There was the lower bed (2 twins pulled together to make a king) and 2 upper berths. The room was clean; I didn't notice any rust or areas that stood out as needing repair. One plus was that the hairdryer in this room was a STANDARD HAIR DRYER-not the hose things that were in other rooms. Don't know why. A few notes about this room, you WILL hear the water hitting the bow of the ship; we liked it because it was a white noise that lulled you to sleep. You WILL hear the ship maneuvering when it docks and leaves port; it shakes the room some too. We also saw this as a benefit because it was kind of a built in alarm clock.
