The boarding at the Port was so smooth and easy. We got there around 1:30 pm and we were on the ship by 2pm. That included parking the car, going through security, completing the process, and stepping on the ship. Less than 30 minutes. It was great.

The ship is large but the 2 At Sea days gave us plenty of time to find things around the ship. Don't miss the Sundeck on 14. It was an experience. We utilized the interactive boards near the elevators daily to check to see how busy the restaurant were so we never had to wait more than a few minutes. Eat breakfast in American Icon as they have both menu and buffet, which is pretty much the same food as the Windjammer. Lunch at Park Cafe was good for a salad and small sandwich. We had dinner nightly in the Main Dining Room and we were never disappointed.

The shows are by far the best part of the cruise. Amazing. Mama Mia, Blue Planet, the Aqua show. All were so well put together. The comedians were great but they are the same for the whole cruise except the Kid Friendly show on the last at sea day. Read more
