Embarkation/Disembarkation: Easy, fast, only ship at the pier. Luggage arrived very quickly to stateroom. Arrived at 12:30--in our room before 2. Did Express disembarkation--walked off at 7:40 AM, got shuttle to Newark Airport for $20 pp and were at our airline gate by 9 AM! Pier is 3 miles from airport.
Stateroom: Clean, comfortable, excellent balcony with comfy chairs and small table. Comfortable bed, very quiet. 7th deck has great access to dining and entertainment. Never had to take the elevator except on shore days to get off of ship. Steward was terrific--remembered my requests and provided the extra ice and towels without reminders. No complaints.
Ship: Have never been on a mega-ship, so not much to compare. This ship was small and easy to navigate, which I found to be a plus. Clean, comfortable seating in lounge, disco and Cafe Al Bacio. Very clean bathrooms and sauna area.
First time with balcony room. Loved it. Comfortable chairs. Great views. Strong shower. Very quiet floor. Easy to walk to all dining and entertainment. Never took the elevator except to leave ship. Mid ship. Highly recommend
Easy embarkation and disembarkation. Walked off ship at 7:40 AM, found a shuttle easily to airport. Through security and at our gate at Newark airport by 9 AM
Loved Tobacco Bay for snorkeling. Calm and protected bay
Took group shuttle to Church Bay, then to Jobson's Cove and Warwick Long Bay. Gorgeous beaches although found Church too rough for swimming. Took city bus back at 5 PM--first bus #7 passed us right by for no apparent reason. Took us almost an hour to get back to ship.
