Our hotel room was small without much storage space (Perhaps their room designer should go on a ship to learn how to design small but functional spaces). the staff was pleasant and the room was clean. Wifi and breakfast were nice additions.

we walked to the port in the morning. we only waited a few moments for a porter to take our larger bags, then headed into the terminal. the security line opened as we entered, so we waited briefly while the accumulated crowd wound through. Then checkin which was fast and easy. we were on board nice and early, even before the buffet was set to open. Read more
