My daughters and i did a cruise on this lovely vessel in August. Super high season. There are many mixed reviews about the ship but from someone who has cruised before and worked on-board a cruise liner - i must say you get what you pay for.
* Embarkation was not that bad. It took about half hour to get on-board after the long cues which is expected. You cannot expect to go on a cruise and get on-board in 5 minutes. Do not go on a cruise if that is your expectation! It was smooth and well organised. I've had worse in the USA.
* Luggage was in the cabin before sail away which was an absolute bonus. USA cruise liners usually only delivered after early sitting dinner or later.
