Just a reference point, this is was the 13th cruise I have been on since January of 2005. I have traveled on Princess, Holland America, RCCL, Celebrity, Norwegian Caribbean & Oceania Lines.
Embarkation: Arrived around 3pm and there were no lines. Was on board ship within 30 minutes. Went very smoothly even though I didn't have cruise documents with me since I booked late. They were very accommodating & helpful.
Public Rooms: All public rooms were tastefully decorated & flow of ship was excellent. There was some traffic flow issues but generally things went very smoothly. Queen's Lounge could have been better utilized but was fine. Dining Rooms were lovely & staff great.
