This was my first sailing on a true mega ship. I have sailed 100K ships before but not 150K+. Embarkation was a breeze and we were there right as they were letting people on. We were pre prepared by doing everything on line and this helped. Please note. We were gold and the line was short. if you were in a higher class, Emerald and above the line was three times as long. This should not be.

Anyways, we were on in a flash and they even let us into our cabin, 2662, Outside Port Side, Rear. Very nice room! This was our 14th cruise and the cabin seemed to be about two feet wider than we had been used to. Great. Plenty of closet space and hangers. Enough drawer space too. Do note, the big towels have hooks built into them so they can hang on the door. If you dont use the hooks the towel will fall off. They neglected to tell us about this. The bathroom is just acceptable.

The bed was great. A full queen with a nice firm mattress and decent pillows and linens. There was a nice sized flat screen TV with some programming on it. It did not swing out properly which was a bit of disappointment. Read more
