All I have got to say is OH MY GOODNESS! This was our first cruise. We were celebrating our 9th year wedding anniversary. All the research and reading on the message boards couldn't prepare us for what was the vacation of a lifetime!
I had done a little research and found out to do all you can online so you will not have a long wait to embark. Very True!! We arrived from the airport on a RCCL Transfer (very nice driver) at 2:00 P.M. it looked like everyone else got there at the same time. But, to my amazement we were on the boat in our stateroom by 2:35.
Up to the Windjammer for some lunch. The food was absolutely terrific both in the dining rooms and the cafe. The staff was simply marvelous. All the way from the captain to the assistant's assistant. (hee, hee)
