This was my boyfriend and I first time. I was excited for the birthday celebration and our much needed vacation. We loved we were able to leave from NY which made it very easy for us.
I was surprised that the embarkation went at such a fast pace. It might have taken us only a hour to get processed and on the ship. Once we got on the ship since it was our first time we didn't know what to do next. There were people just saying hi and welcoming you but no one to say what's next. So I told him lets go to customer services just to put money on our account and I asked the lady there. She told us what we could do next etc. I was just surprised they didn't have signs or people to really direct people or first timers.
The cabin was nice and roomy! I loved our balcony! I love that I couldn't really feel the ship rocking so we know to always stay on the upper levels.
When we got to our cabin I was surprised to see how roomy it was. I don't see how they would fit 4 people in the comfortably but for 2 people it was not bad. Our house aid Perfecto (not sure of the spelling of his name) was GREAT!!! Very nice and sweet! He always kept our room neat and clean. When we called him he was always ready to help. Always had a smile. Even though we paid for the pre-paid services we gave him extra at the end.
