All in all we enjoyed the cruise.
THE ARRIVAL: At the Port in New York the process was smooth and aggravation free. Our luggage was handled immediately from the cab and we headed into the Welcome Center where we were processed and on our way to the boat in a matter of minutes.
STATEROOM: We found our room quite comfortable and not too small. One comment, our friends had an outdoor view we did not. In addition to having a view, the room appeared quite a bit larger. They only paid $200 or so more for the week. Had we known the room was larger we probably would have gone for the $200. The stateroom assistant was incredibly nice and made sure everything we needed in the room was available. The bathroom was compact but do-able...and the shower was better than my shower at home!
