This was my families first cruise and we absolutely loved it! My family that traveled with us has cruised before and they loved it as well.
Embarkation:We arrived at Port Canaveral around 12:50 and was thru customs and in our room by 2:00. We were told it usually goes a lil faster but there was a storm which seem to slow things down a bit. It was very smooth getting thru and getting on the ship.
Stateroom: We had a cove balcony and it was amazing! There was 9 of us and our rooms were all together and our balconies opened up to one big balcony. It was great sitting out there in the mornings and at night. We were on the port side which was great! It was so private. These rooms are on the 2nd floor right under the lifeboats which provide shade and privacy. You are close to the water which was great for the most part until we traveled thru a tropial storm. (more on that later). Rooms are more spacious than I thought and are decorated in very good taste. The pillows are wonderful!
We had a cove balcony room and loved it! The rooms were bigger than I expected. The decor was pretty and the rooms were always clean. There are 3 closets in each room which is great. We were right across from crew space but it wasn't noisy at all. We loved everyhting about our room.
