This was our very first cruise. LOVED IT !! We chose this ship because we thought it wouldn't be too overwhelming to us as first time cruisers. We arrived the day before so we could enjoy San Juan. Very nice.. we stayed in Old San Juan. We enjoyed walking and visiting the historic forts. It was a nice way to start the cruise.
From the start to the finish the cruise was excellent. We were on Concierge class with a balcony and enjoyed this a lot. We thought the food was great, and the layout of the ship easy to navigate. We met so many wonderful people ! The shows were great, and there was a lounge, or coffee spot for everyone to enjoy, The Ports were wonderful. We did three excursions and enjoyed each one of them. I think the pool could have stayed open a little later in the evening. The area clubs and lounges had something going every night so you could always find something to your liking. The service both in our rooms and in the main dining room were excellent. From the first day forward the room attendants always called us by name and the waiter in the main dining room was superb as well. I do think the food offered in the main dining room could be elevated a bit - but the selections we had were delicious !
We did book a second cruise while onboard to take advantage of the deals offered !
We thought it was spacious and had no issues with our room. Our sofa was a bit worn.. but we spent such little time in our room it didn't matter The bedding was nice and closet and storage was more than adequate. The bathroom was a bit larger than I expected. The champagne was a nice touch on day of arrival.
