We went on our cruse June 14-18 with another couple. They had never cruised before and wanted to go with someone who had. This particular cruise was picked due to length and price.
Embarkation was a breeze. No lines @ about 11;30 am and we sailed (pun intended) thru it all. We were on board and in the Red Sail eating quite quickly. Our rooms were ready quickly also.
My first complaint was the hawking of the drink of the day while we were in the Red Sail. The same guy must have come up to us 5 times within 30 minutes asking if we wanted one.
