Arriving at the port and seeing a mass of people waiting to check in was a bit daunting but we only had to wait in line about a half hour to forty five minutes before being all checked and ready to board. There was someone handing out water and lemonade to anyone who wanted it but the line seemed to be moving so fast there was no time to stop for it. Our room was not ready when we got on board so we were ushered to the Lido for lunch. Be sure to meet Sahrul in the Lido, he can be found handing out trays. He was really great to talk to everyday. The staff in the Lido were right on top of things and would pick up any items you were done with the second you pushed them to the side.

Our cabin was very nice and we just loved our balcony. We had four adults in the cabin and we had plenty of storage and personal space. The sofa bed made it nearly impossible to access the balcony when it was out (which is just poor design on their part) and my brother, who slept on the sofa bed, said it wasn't very comfortable. I on the other hand found that the pull down upper berth was quite nice to sleep on.
