Going into this cruise I had no idea what to expect as this was my first cruise. Embarkation was so smooth I couldn't believe how quick it was to get on the ship. It was literally not more than 20minutes.

Once on the ship lunch was ready to be served which made us very happy because we were starving. The buffet had such a wide variety of food to choose from. We ate our food whilst enjoying the beautiful ocean view in the restaurant.

Once our cabins were ready we went up to our cabins. It took a very long time to get our luggage my mother actually ended up getting her suitcase at night. But all in all we enjoyed our stay. The Belle Epoque restaurant is one of the most classiest restaurants we went to. The beautiful paintings on the walls complimented the classy red chairs. The tables were beautifully set with glass wine glasses and clean cutlery. However there were only a few waiters and a lot of tables and we had to wait for about 10 minutes before we could even get the menu. And another 10 to order. But other then that we enjoyed our meal.
