I know we took our cruise 11 months ago but I am new to Cruise Critic and figured why not write a review about this wonderful trip. It all started in New York on Aug. 10th where we flew out of JFK non-stop to Heathrow. We arrived early in the morning and took some time to see the sights of London. We then took the train to Dover followed by a cab ride to the ship. Now to the exciting stuff.

Embarkation- Embarkation was painless due to the fact that we arrived on the later side. We were the only people there at that time meaning it took about 5-10 minutes from curb to stateroom. It couldn't have been any easier.

Stateroom- We were booked in a Concierge level stateroom meaning that we had all the amenities of a regular stateroom plus some. We were allowed to make 2 reservations in each of the alternative restaurants ( as opposed to 1) along with a few other things. The room was very comfortable if a bit small, as usual. The balcony was sufficient and because our family was in a stateroom next to us we were able to take down the partition and have an extra large balcony which was very nice. After not being able to sleep for about 20 hours now we were all tired and took a nap before dinner. Read more
