I am writing this as an experienced cruise taker.............28 or so and still counting.
I normally say I've never seen a cruise I didn't like. Well, I wish I could include this one in that category. Unfortunately, I wasn't thrilled. Maybe a bit of background would be helpful. I am single and often go on my own as it is difficult to find another person who is available and has the money to go at the same time as you. So I was on my own and I mean really on my own. And while there are never any promises of any particular group being available, there were very few singles of any age and category. So maybe I am negatively biased. But here it is be that as it may.
Check in was awesome..............I was checked in immediately and on the ship in record time. No lines at all, just a few people. I dropped my luggage off, the baggage porter took it out of the car, gave him a tip and proceeded to park my car. So far, so good.
