This review was originally written as a journal so everyone can get a feel of how a typical day may go. At the end is just a quick overview of various areas.
Sunday(Embarkation) After taking a rollercoaster for a plane ride (thanks to the windstorm in the New England), we arrived at the pier close to 2pm and we were in line to get our key and setup our account by 2:15pm. Thanks to the aforementioned windstorm, the ship arrived late and the boarding process didn't start until well after 12pm, so we had to wait in line for about an hour before it was our turn to setup our account.
Once we boarded the ship, we only had 15 minutes to get to our room (BA - oceanview with a balcony), put our bags inside (which were waiting by the door) and grab our life jackets and go downstairs for the muster drill. Thankfully the drill was short and sweet and we were done in like 5 minutes. After the drill, my wife grabbed some takeout at the Blue Lagoon for us and I went to the room to start making reservations for that night. After lunch and after walking around deck 7, we went back to our room and sat on our balcony to watch as we sailed past Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. It was my first time seeing both and it was absolutely breathless.
