First time cruiser from Philadelphia decided to book a cruise out of NY to the Caribbean due to its convenience to home and no need for a flight. (Balcony Cabin 10534)

Day 1: Embarkation. Arrived at the terminal around 1030am and boarded the ship at 1130am. Had a great lunch at the buffet and rooms became available around 1245pm. Balcony room was nicer than expected, bathroom was very nice and bed was comfortable. Toured the ship prior to departing sharply at 4pm. Passed the Statue of Liberty at Spinnaker lounge. It was a lot of fun with patriotic music and drinks. A great celebration as we began our 10 day journey. The show in stardust was a great intro to the different acts on the cruise, was most impressed by comedian. The first night I didn't take any medication and awoke to the ship moving in the middle of the night. I spent some time on the balcony to get fresh air and took ginger pills and Dramamine.

Suggestion: if you have any concerns over being out on the water for such a long time, invest in the balcony room or reconsider your trip. The balcony was an important output for me to get some fresh air whenever I felt a little "off." Not sure what I would done without it.
