The Good:
The boarding process was very quick and painless. A few crowds at some of the choke points, but nothing too crazy. We definitely had a great first impression.
We arrived on-board and found out that our rooms wouldn't be ready until later in the day, which was fine, so we dove into the Bow & Stern British pub they have on board and got our first drinks. The drinks were well-made and strong, definitely generous pours. The venue was smoking, and people were already doing so, and that was a little meh, but it seemed to be just that bar, so nothing bad there. Our bartender, Chrystian, was amazing and we came back to see him a few times on our trip.
Balcony bigger than expected. Room very nice. Shower is typical for a cruise ship, but found it small. Hardly any extras (shampoo is on a dispenser on the wall). Nice TV.
