We had not problems getting on or off the ship. Love the fact you can prepay your parking and not have to do anything give them the luggage and park. This was closet to our home, we only want to do a short cruise. We had the some of the best dinning room server's on any cruise, we had dinner at a 12 people table and enjoyed talking every night. We enjoyed the food. It was our first time with the American Table I did not see that really matters about the table clothes only on the tables on Elegant night. I like the smaller ships a lot easier to get around. The shows were good and the cruise was nice. I did not really have a problem with the people smoking. Think they need for choice for late night other than room service or pizza. My husband always goes to bed earlier than me so room service is not a good option. But over all it was a great cuise.
