Embarkation: This took a long time, however, the line was always moving and the people were very friendly. We couldn't go to our cabins right away, so we went to the Lido Deck for lunch. After that, it was easy to drop off our carry-ons and pick up our bags outside our door.
Cabin: We chose the 8A Category (balcony). The cabin was comfortable, it had enough storage space, and it had a great balcony. I had two small problems- I'm not used to sleeping on a twin size bed anymore, so it was hard to adjust; and the balcony door made a whistling sound every time it was closed, unless it was slammed shut very hard.
Public Rooms: It's a beautiful ship, I liked the decor everywhere, and none of the areas ever felt overcrowded (except the pool on the first sea day). I especially liked the Follies Lounge and the crazy Medusa decorations in the club!
Great location, middle of the ship, close to everything.
