I must have been on a different ship than the other reviewers because I encountered none of their problems. Embarcation: Being a Latitudes member{this was my 26th cruise} I only waited 3 to 5 minutes in Latitudes line before registering and joining a small group of people escorted aboard. Having cruised approximately 70 times this embarcation was better than most.
Cabin: We had a balcony mid ship, and although small{most newer ships are} it was well appointed and cabin steward attentive and helpful
The ship as a whole was tired{due for a rehab early next year} but was very clean and we found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful.
Small but well appointed. Only disappointment was choice of t/v/ shows
