After reading a number of negative reviews, we were wondering if we had made a mistake in booking this cruise. However, the cruise was as good as anticipated, the ship was in excellent repair, the service was gracious and we thoroughly enjoyed our week.
Our embarkation went very smoothly, the only wait was a short (maybe 15 minutes) wait after actually checking in, as passengers were called in group numbers to board the ship. Very impressive efficiency.
Our cabin was a suite, on the Upper Verandah deck. We've never had a suite or even a verandah before, so we were very excited to have a suite (for the extra room) and a verandah as well. Our cabin stewards were very efficient and unobtrusive, and kept our cabin immaculate.
Very quiet location, and stable (not a lot of movement felt). A nice location, 3 decks below the Lido and 3 above the atrium area. Lovely cabin. And the full size bath with bathtub and separate shower, oh my!
