Embarkation-Arrived at port at about 11AM and checked in and waited about 30 minutes to board the bus that brings you to the ship. We were on the ship a little after noon and welcomed with a glass of champagne. We were having lunch in the buffet by 12:30. After lunch we toured the ship and within an hour or so were in our cabin unpacking.

Ship- We found the ship to be very nice with elegant decor and stylish design. Somewhat modern in some. The ship never felt crowded except for the Silhouette theatre which was crowded at the early shows but not the later show. The pool area was nice and never had a problem finding a lounge chair. Pools kept clean and plenty of towels. You could find a quite spot to relax and read.

The Captain, Nicholas Pagonis was very welcoming and made a point to be seen about the ship.His daily announcements were informational. He did his best to keep everyone informed when we hit some rough seas. He was outgoing and friendly. On the night you could have your photo taken with him he offered his arm to my wife and shook my hand and we exchanged greetings. He really made us feel like we were his guests on his ship. Read more
