It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining. Embarkation was very smooth. No lines at all in the Diamond area. We arrived about 1pm and we were able to go to straight to our cabin.
We booked a balcony guarantee this time, it was a first for us. We were in a D1, deck 6 aft balcony. The room was a lot larger than we expected. The sofa was huge! Plenty of storage spaces and room. We noticed a few cut backs; one was they are no longer supplying notepaper or the pen on the desk.
The balcony was a nice size too. We had two chairs, a chaise and a small table. After checking out the room we headed for lunch in the Windjammer. It was wonderful! Lots of selections and the hot food was hot and the cold food was cold. Everything we had was delicious.
Lots of storage areas. Nice sized balcony. No cabin accross from it. There is crew stairway door there but it never bothered us. Very quiet cabin.
