I was excited for months- I booked this cruise last January. I am so glad I did!
I am new at reviews-so I will try not to ramble.
Embarkation: My husband is platinum, so there was no wait for us. The process was easy as they whisked us into the office to sit and check us in. The lady was very sweet and gave my kids activity books with crayons, pencils and candy canes. The trip could have stopped in this office and my kids would have been happy.
Cabin 1409-Deluxe ocean view with junior tub:
Nice cabin-Mathew made it shine everyday. I think with 5 people in a cabin,I may have preferred an extra toilet instead of a tub...but my 6 year old, who only like baths, not showers, loved it.
There would have been ample closet space had i not over packed.
Despite being at an exit hallway, we did not encounter noise issues. I like being near the stairwell. The dining room was just 2 flight up directly from our cabin and the piano bar (fav place on ship) was just 4 decks up. I would stay in this cabin again. I would like to be higher in the ship, but Riviera deck is only level with cabins accommodating 5. That stinks.
