We chose this ship due to dates off from work, kinda last minute and wanted to cruise on this ship after reading all the positive reviews. Happy they still offer the champagne upon embarkation. The staff were happy and accommodating at all times. The size of the cabin and bathroom was very nice. The bed already had an egg Crete on it, perhaps because we had a concierge cabin. The daily afternoon canapés were a nice touch as well. Food better than on most ships, other cruise lines, that is. On embarkation day, lunch provided to concierge guests in the dining room was very good. Choices were adequate and our salmon was yummy. Only have one complaint, and that was disembarkation. Apparently, customs has made it very difficult to get a porter, as they aren't allowed to take you out on the porter line, they have to take your luggage with you through the endless, winding, snake line to wait for maybe 5 Customs Agents. Thus waiting with you to clear customs, there aren't any porters available. Senseless end to a great trip. I felt badly for the Grandmas and Grandpas, having to drag their own luggage.
