Like that it is leaving from NJ which means we do not have to fly or spend on hotel.Embarkation was very quick and no problems Our pictures were taken at the port rather than when we printed our documents,no problems.We arrived 10:30 to avoid the long line of traffic as it gets later. On board by 11:30 and eating lunch in Windjammer at about 11:45 or 12. Ship was good , could have had more selection in the shops> Our cabin was good and had a lot of storage space. We had early seating in the Grand and service was excellent.Because of food allergy to shell fish our waiter always provided the next days dinner menu the night before.Many activities to do .We felt the shows were not as good as on other royal ships we were on.Travel was with my sister The ports were good and the shore excursion to Orient Beach which included a very good lunch with 3 food choices and drinks was excellent and the second time we did that excursion. Labade was also good We did the zip line over the ocean. We would do this cruise again.
