We LOVED this ship & are all sad to be back home!

First impressions were bad because we'd booked the first time slot to board but ended up sitting in traffic for 1 hour at the port! Check in was easy and well organised, I had done the online checkin and printed our set sail passes already so this helped, although they did ask a few questions that I had already answered online, but never mind. Also once onboard they had advised everybody to go up to the Windjammer for food and drinks so we headed up there as the rooms weren't ready yet, but of course everybody went up there and as big as that restaurant is, it doesn't seat 4,500 people! It felt very claustrophobic and we couldn't get a table. We had to wait about half an hour.

Anyway that was the worst part of our trip, from then on it was amazing. The ship is beautiful, attention to detail with the decor is fantastic, it was all spotlessly clean, and the staff were amazing and friendly. We loved our cabin and had an interconnecting room with my parents which was great for us all. We kept the door open most of the time which meant the kids could go back and forth between rooms but we could also close it if we wanted privacy. They also took the balcony screen down in between so that we could share balconies with my parents. Read more
