DH and I are experienced cruisers having cruised previously on RCCL, HA, NCL and Azamara. This was the largest ship we've been on and while we did not take advantage of EVERYTHING it had to offer, we did quite a lot in 3 sea days and 3 port days and still had time to relax and do nothing when we wanted to.

Check in was a breeze and we were on the ship by 11:30 am. We had lunch in the Windjammer and sat by the pool till our cabin was ready at 1 pm. We had an ocean view cabin on deck 2. The size was pretty standard, it seems really small when you first go in but you do adjust. Our cabin was a distance from the elevators but I liked that it didn't get too much foot traffic going by... that gave us an illusion of some privacy.

The ship was very stable and we felt almost no motion at all heading south. On the last two days heading north we did feel some motion but it wasn't too bad at all. Read more
