Visited Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, plus 3 days at sea. We had a great time and I had a blast introducing my boyfriend to cruising. He says he is definitely up for more days on the ocean!

Embarkation was a breeze. We were at the terminal at about 11am. Walked right up to the counter and checked in and were given zone 4 to board. Only had to wait until 1130am before they started boarding. The zones meant not having to wait in line. Once they called zone 4 we were on the ship before noon!

Dropped the carry ons off at the cabin before we were allowed in the cabins, stewards said nothing other than a hello. Off we went to explore the ship, finding areas we thought we would need. There are definitely spaces you could just never find since they were kind of out of the way. Cabins were ready at 130pm. We went to relax a bit, had a bit of a nap and our luggage was outside our door when we woke up at 3pm. Dinner the first night was good except for one thing. My boyfriend, 38 and I, 29 were seated with 4 older Vietnamese people who spoke in their language the whole night. Asked to be changed and got put at a better suited table for the next night.
