It was exceptionally clean with no signs of wear and tear. The bed had a down comfort with down pillows and high quality linens. Our night of rest before departure was very restful. We had breakfast with our group of Cruisers at the hotel in the dining room. The Hotel Staff had prepared a wonderful breakfast buffet. The meal was included in our package. Clarion Staff loaded our luggage into their van and carried our group to the port. We were all able to leave our vehicles parked at the Clarion for the 5 days of the Cruise for no additional charge. The Clarion driver of our van was exceptionally helpful and nice. The park and cruise package at the Clarion was 129.99.

Embarkation was very smooth at the port. We arrived on the ship. The ship was extremely clean and all of the Staff helpful, cheerful and nice.
