We are a couple in our mid 40's and this is our 10+ cruise. Wanted a quick get away from the kids once they were settled in school. This fit the requirements and will do this again. We have sailed with Holland, Princess, Carnival, Norweg & RC once prior.

I am not that picky...(ok like the 4+star ships) Look for a great itinerary & deal, that suits my sched and once I am on board I leave my worries behind and enjoy my holiday.

Flew into LaGuardia the day of sailing..Normally would do that a day or 2 prior but since snow was not an issue I risked it and all worked out fine. Called Dial 7 from the airport as many of the cruise critic folks suggested and perfect, as promised they picked us up and did a side trip on route to the pier..Was on the ship with in 20 mins of arriving..Lunch at 12:30 and the afternoon to check out the ship, unpack etc. Muster drill was quick and painless. no life jackets were required.
