Additional details
We had thought about a back to back cruise and this was available, 14 days of luxury with a day shopping in New York.
Arrived at 12noon at the port. CPS let us unload our suitcases (5) and hand baggage, then removed the car. Portering took the luggage and we found it outside our stateroom. Great service by all the portering staff.
Delay of 1 hour in embarking, efficient processing of paperwork and photos for "shipboard card", through security and then on board. Everybody was pleasant and helpful in directing us to our stateroom.
Cabin Review
Balcony, sheltered
We had a level 5 sheltered balcony. This has a balcony door but is low down on the ship with the steel structure giving the cabin some protection from any rough North Atlantic swells. We did sit out on our balcony and drink our Tattinger champagne - all lovely. Room was excellent with flat screen TV - Sky and BBC news with onboard ship information. Jun, our cabin steward introduced himself just after we embarked and he was excellent in keeping our stateroom clean and tidy. We are normally very clean and tidy but he just made the room perfect. Thank you to him.
