Sail Date: Apr 2017
Cabin: Family Interior Stateroom

This was our 4th TA and the 3rd on a RC ship. The check-in was somewhat unorganized, prior to them losing several cameras at the check-in. Even with these problems the crew was able to get our pictures and log us onto the ship.

We never did understand why the ship left port at least 3 hours after we were scheduled, however it did provide us with the ability to go on deck and watch as we sailed away fro Florida.

Our cabin was fine and our luggage was delivered in a prompt manner. During the cruise our cabin was taken care of, however we rarely saw the cabin attendant. Later during the cruise when we were not notified of, or given an invitation to a lunch some blame was laid at his feet. We however, believe that the problem lay elsewhere.

Cabin Review

Family Interior Stateroom

The cabin was quiet and comfortable. On TA's we do not try for cabins with sea views, balconies or facing the promenade. We select a cabin close to the water line, mid ship and away from being under any entertainment areas or lounges. Very little ship movement in this type location.
