I don't even know where to begin with this Review, But if you don't like to read long winded reviews then this would be one to skip cause I have lots and lots to say...first off, the embarkation was simple and easy for us, but get there plenty early we were there by 12:30pm and people were already in line in front of us, we ended up getting zone3 the earlier you get there the earlier you will be on the ship, you get boarded on the ship in the order that you got checked in for your cruise so if you want to be on the ship right away then I would suggest being there by 10-11am you may have to wait in a line to get checked in but you will be pretty close to the front of that line. also remember your state room most likely will not be ready till 1:30pm so you will have to carry your luggage with you or do what we did have one person wait with the luggage while the others got food etc..

The ship" was nice, The only time I ever smelled what some of the other reviews talked about as a sewage smell was when we were walking on the deck by were they keep the sewage, the carpet is all new, the wood work in a lot of the rooms is new, the air conditioner in the state rooms suck so if you like it cold you will have to call maintenance and have them open the duct vent more up top, they can do this they did for us. The dinning hall was great, the food was awesome and can I recommend for your first night on ship if you like BBQ ribs to get that cause that is they only night they will serve them and they are better in my opinion then famous Dave's.

The best place to eat on lido deck was the pizza place which made awesome cal zones that you have to ask for, they are on the menu but hard to see, I would not have noticed them if not told about them, they are not available right away though they have to be made fresh...mmm even better, I also liked the deli, I loved getting the freshly backed sandwiches, my fav was ham and cheese on onion rye..
