Sail Date: Feb 2007

This was our fifth cruise; my wife and I have cruised on Princess once, Holland America once, and Norwegian twice. We are in out late 40's, and feel that cruising is the perfect vacation.

Embarkation was one of the quickest we've ever had. We arrived at the terminal at 3:30pm the terminal was empty. We were onboard and in our cabin by 3:45pm. Our baggage arrived within one hour. The cabin (an inside) was spotless, but it was not set up the way we requested. I found our steward and let him know what we needed and expected for the next 11 days. The next time we returned to the cabin all was right. Our steward was very good throughout the entire cruise.

The ship was very clean, but did show some signs of her age. The public rooms were rather small. No smoking in most public rooms, except the casino, and the Lord Nelson pub. Also smoking was allowed in most outdoor areas. Cigar and pipe only outdoors. There was no grand atrium; the theater had very comfortable theater seating, but no tables. We didn't go to any of the shows. The casino had 7 Blackjack tables, 2 roulette tables, one craps table (that was never open), and about 100 very tight slot machines. The casino is run by a contractor (NTG Gaming), not by the cruise line. The fitness room looked good with lots of equipment, but we didn't use it.
