This was my very first cruise and it was wonderful! I went as the third person in an inside cabin with my parents who have cruised 8-9 times before. Two friends my parents met on a previous cruise also cruised with us. A great time was had by all, and in this review I'll incorporate some of their observations as well.
Embarkation ------------ Couldn't have been smoother! Our ship departed at 7 pm so I didn't expect to be able to embark before about 3 p.m. However I arrived at the terminal in Miami at 11:50 a.m. planning to check in and walk around the port area until my parents arrived on another flight. Imagine my surprise when they told me I could immediately go aboard. There was only one person ahead of me in line and I was onboard the ship within 15 minutes of arriving at the terminal.
Cabin ------ As I said, I shared an interior with my parents. The cabin is, of course, small but there was really plenty of room for the 3 of us. I slept on a pull down bunk on the wall. My parents and I thought the bedding was very, very comfortable. Bathroom was again small, but we rotated in and out and it was no problem. I was impressed with the amount of storage space..a dresser plus 3 large closets. Our cabin was close to the front of the ship on Deck 8, which was easy access to the Lido Deck, pool, etc. on Deck 9.
