I have been on many cruises. This ship was the largest. Embarkation was indeed a breeze as the cruise line said to not get there before 1 pm. We got there around 11:45 and was on the ship with cocktail in hand by 12:30. Room was nice for two people. We had an outside balcony mid-ship on the 9th deck. Reminder for first timers, the boat does not rock as much mid-ship as it does in the forward section or the aft. In the cabin the only negative comment are the hangers which continually fall out of their holder. Trust me, you will see what I am talking about.
Purchased the drinking pass. Its 49.00 per day for each person in cabin and if one subscribes then all have to subscribe so buy if you are drinkers. 15 drink is your limit per person and I hit it only twice.
Casino was fun. Should be called losers luck not winners luck but the dealers are nice and social.
Nice Cabin Guy. tipped him day one and left standard tip at the end. He made sure I did not go without ice.Room was always cleaned when we returned from an island or the pool.
