Lets start at the beginning...Boarding (and unboarding): both a pleasant surprise. From being dropped off at the ship about 12:30pm, everything about checking in and boarding went smoothly and we were in out cabin in 45 minutes. (will describe leaving the ship at the end)
Cabin: typical cabin for size and style, so nothing really new about that...worked out fine for us. The bed was VERY comfortable, so whatever mattresses they use keep them! Our cabin attendant was terrific and kept everything clean and ship shape, usually more than twice per day...he was GREAT!
Our daughters sent us a "romance package", so we champagne and canapes were delivered and we enjoyed them on desk as we sailed away the first night! Thanks K & R !!
Cabin number 6403, typical cabin, like we have had before....the shower is way too small but I can see why you need to keep it that way. Closet size was just right, not too large but not too small. Lights were good, just enough and not too much...nice tough having the main switch at the bed, so you don't have to get up! Could use some more drawer space...maybe get rid of the fridge? Does ANYBODY really take advantage of the snacks in the fridge and get charged $5-8 for a soda or nuts...especially when I can go up on desk, get FREE ice cream or FREE food or pizza at the cafes? Looong walk to the stern of the ship to get to this cabin but it was quiet. Reminder to all: cabins in the very stern or bow (back or front) of the ship DO rock and roll a bit when the waves are more than glass!
