My husband and I went on our first cruise in November 2013 and had the most wonderful time.
THE SHIP: We loved the ship. The first couple of days we spent looking around and familiarising ourselves. The Theatre, the bars, the shops, the cafes, all super. The Centrum had great acts and the aerial displays were spectacular. (only went to the Casino once and lost my $20.00)
THE STAFF: Very professional and always helpful. (with a HUGE exception of the Photography staff - we found them to be pushy and surly when you declined to have your picture taken, and the photos are expensive)
We were down on Deck 2, towards the front and could not have wished for a better time.The cabin was spotless. Tiny but perfectly formed. Contrary to what I had read there was PLENTY of storage space (look behind the mirrors!) and we did not hear any noise at all. This cabin is not too far away from the fron elevator banks so it was very easy access. Our Cabin Steward Croydon was professional and always around when we needed him. Nothing was a problem to him.
