I would do it again in a heart beat

Additional details
Our first time cruise had been researched three months prior to our departure and I felt that a first time cruise perspective may be more interesting rather than the repeat cruiser who have expectations that make me wonder if they serve the kind of menu at home, that they expect when when cruising.
Firstly, come prepared to shell out for drinks even if you are careful. The interactive TV is a must if you want to keep tabs on your expenses.Keep an eye on it, I was therefore prepared for the 1300 USD for the two of us for the 7 night cruise (55 minute SPA treatment for two included).Our room was on level six,balcony, star board middle)_I arranged all of our off shore tours and if you have a sense of direction, can read a map and can see the value in train travel and hop on hop off buses...go for it..it's worth the effort.
The staff went out of there way to greet and assist..it encouraged me to greet them before they had a chance. Take into account that the ship goes around and around with a fresh batch of 3500 passengers each with high expectations. You will not be disappointed even if you consider how hard they work. I took a trip with gratuity included and this saved me about two hundred bucks...at the end I decided to put extra for everyone and this cost me only 60 dollars extra...yes it's worth it.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony
For those who seek to get away from the noise and listen to the sea rustle in the back ground through the open balcony door...get the an E2 deluxe with sea facing balcony.We were on deck six forward of the bulge and found it close to the lift and one floor from the promanade. The bed was big enough for four and very very comfortable. Fridge is okay but not cool enough, packing space was more than enough with extra space under the bed for suitcases. Bathroom was small but okay..maybe I'll take a bath with the next cruise..the wife would enjoy that. TV was very handy for checking the expenses, power points were enough...remember there's one in the bathroom as well. Room was well serviced to the point where we tipped him 40 dollars over the expected rate..well worth an up front 20 to ensure attention at all times, not that it was really necessary.
