Beautiful new ship. Embarkation/disembarkation went perfectly. We arrived at the port (Brooklyn) at about 11:00 AM and were shown to a waiting area where coffee/tea and pastries were served. At about 12 noon we boarded the ship and headed for The Horizon Court where a lovely buffet was waiting. All in all a pleasant experience, as was the disembarkation. Throughout the voyage, the crew was very helpful, everywhere on the ship. The wait-staff was great, service in the buffet was wonderful, and the cabin steward was right on top of things. Very good food, and the 3 shows that we saw were very enjoyable.

On the minus side:

Our balcony Stateroom was on the small size, as was the balcony itself. The bathroom was the smallest I have ever seen on any cruise ship. One final comment. The elevator set-up was very confusing. If you wanted to go to deck 6, you had to press "6" but then walk up a flight of stairs to arrive at your desired location. Read more
