We decided to take our first cruise for our 5Th wedding anniversary. I have never been on a ship so we opted to do a shorter cruise to see if I could handle it. Four days was not enough!

We had priority embarking due to booking the GS. It was fast and painless. The regular lines did not look bad either.

I had of course read many reviews on here beforehand. I took everything with a grain of salt. That being said, some of the negatives were correct to a point. The dreaded SMELL! We smelled it a few times the first day while exploring in passing. We just kept walking. On deck 3 where you go to get off for the ports, the smell was horrible. But we were there for 5 minutes. Not enough to ruin our day! Our room had no smell.

Cabin Review

Grand Suite

Cabin GS

THe cabin was spacious. Balcony was great. I wish the bottom rail was see-through like on the extendeds though. It is solid white. Only noise we heard was people running up and down the halls which made very loud stomping noises. Peopl are people. View is great. Kind of a long haul to get to food and such being on deck 6.
