We chose this cruise based on the originating port. 9 of us cruising together live in Maine, Massachusetts and Maryland. We narrowed choices down between Ports of NY, NJ, and Baltimore. We decided to choose the larger ship with RC which was sailing out of NJ. The ship has a lot of activities for teenagers which we had 2 of in our group. Unfortunately we also had a 19 and 20 year old in our group and there was absolutely no activities geared towards this age group. There were no specific themed activities for this age group like for young children, teenagers, older crowd and even LGBTQ.

The shows were great, dining experience was excellent with our waiters, which we requested nightly.

we also had a bit of trouble once we initially boarded the ship. our times we had scheduled in advanced were changed. we had an 1130 am time which was changed and no-one could board until after 1 pm. once on ship we were told our rooms would be ready at 2 pm, however that did not happen. doors did not open to rooms until 5 pm. I understand they were trying to clean the ship as there may have been a sickness on previous sailing, however, there was no updates on time rooms would be ready, no explanations. everyone was jammed in hallway and stairwell outside doors to rooms for 3 hours. this also delayed Muster and in turn sailing from dock was missed.
