This was my husband and my honeymoon as well as our first cruise. Prior to the trip, we had no idea what to expect.
Be prepared for long lines when you are getting onto the ship for the first time. My husband and I flew into Galveston that morning after staying u0p all night, then had to stand in long lines. I suggest getting to Galveston early.
Leaving the ship was super easy. Self carry your bags to save time.
I was worried that the cabin would be small, but it felt very spacious. We loved our balcony and used it all the time for meals or enjoying the views.
