For anybody reading this, this was our first cruise and as such, we opted for a window-guarantee room. Embarkation was excellent, with it being only 20 minutes from the time we arrived at the terminal to the time we were in our room.
The following points are worth considering by other first-time cruisers: Outside room guarantee: Room was average, but there was no fresh air. Only air came from air conditioning unit and did get stale.
Food: Food was perfectly adequate, but seemed to go down in quality as the cruise progressed.
