We were a party of 6, My husband and I, my 18 yr old son and 16 yr old son and my parents. We had 3 cabins on the main deck which is deck 2. Schmidt was our room steward and he was AWESOME!

This was our first cruise, my son had just graduated high school and we were celebrating our 20th anniversary. We drove to Long Beach which is about a 12 hour drive for us. We stayed at the Comfort Inn in Long beach and parked our car there for the week. The rooms were clean and the staff was pleasant. We had been so excited about this cruise and we weren't disappointed! I ordered rum runners and we took vodka and rum in them. We also took some pop and water. I gave Schmidt $10 when we first got to our rooms and he kept our cooler completely stocked with ice.

Embarkation: We arrived at the pier at 11:30. There was a classic car show going on so after we got our zone 3 number we walked around and looked at all the cars. Customs must have been doing a thorough search because people were still coming off the ship at 12:30. We got onboard around 1:45 or so, went to the lido deck and grabbed the DOD and some food.
