The day we left for our cruise didn't start so great as we had an issue with our luggage and then almost missed our flight but luckily we made it. Once we got to the cruise terminal in San Juan we had another issue as my fiance was born in Puerto Rico and he they changed the birth certificates there and had to run and get a newer version printed. (Lesson learned we will have a passport before next cruise!)

We got on the ship at 2:00 and went to drop our carry-on at the room and to check out our extended balcony. Wow is all I can say I have never had such a big balcony it was great. Then we went up to the buffet and ate and just relaxed. Sailing at night was actually nice gave us a chance to relax and explore the ship and not have to rush. We had late dining in the Palm dining room which worked out great for the timing of the ports.

The service on this ship was the best service of any line I have been on and I have been on a bunch. So attentive never had to ask for anything. Also the ship never felt crowded, there was never a line to get off or on the ship and that was amazing considering there were 3,200 passengers. Read more
