This was my first cruise ever. It will also be my last cruise.
My husband and I were traveling in our own room with my in-laws Who had a Haven suite. Their Haven suite was a little bigger than our mini suite with large balcony, room 8118.
We took a Yankee trails bus, which was late, it was to leave at 7 am and we left more like 7:30-45, and it made too many stops to pick up 1 or 2 people. When we finally got to NYC it was about 11:30. The travel agent said it was set up so that my husband and I could priority board with the inlaws and that didn't happen. The woman in the Haven check in was rude and didn't want to hear that this was pre-arranged. So my husband and I went through the general check in process. It took about an hour. We ended up getting on the boat before the in laws because the rude Haven women neglected to ever check them in after the issue about not allowing us to check in with them.
The cabin was very big. The balcony was huge. The bathroom was huge.
