Well this is gonna be a short review, while i sit at the airport waiting for my flight. Just some of my thoughts i figured were fresh in my head and i would throw them out there.
Embark...Was not really any issues, got to the port around 1130 and was up on the Lido by about 1215. Which was great due to traveling with my 10 yr old son.
Room..To all those that Book a room on the Empress deck...be sure you look at the map to see where your room is AND if its under the galley cause if it is yes you can hear some banging at night due to them still cleaning up from diner and then prepping for the next day. Wasnt all that bad but just keep your eye open when you book on that.
Cabin was a Oceanview room, was orginally booked into an interior but the upsell fairy emailed me a deal for a flat 50 bucks i could get an oceanview and it was also 2 decks up. Only downside is that it was right under the Galley. Room was big enough for the 3 of us. Had the bed from the wall for my son. He enjoy that bed and sheets. Was nicely impressed with the room. Room Steward was awesome and pleasant and easy to deal with at all times.
