We were originally booked on the 7/5/13 sailing which was the last one cancelled after the fire. We rebooked for the 8/2/13 sailing. This was our vacation for the year and for the first time in recent memory we sailed without any family or friends sailing with us.
we decided on this cruise because of the convienence of not having to fly and the value of the fare which we thought was quite resonable.
Embarkation, left my office at noon on Friday was onboard eating lunch at 1;10 p.m.It doesn`t get much better than that. we were able to pass the regular lines as this cruise made us platinum on RC so that sped up the process which was unexpected.
