We sailed out of Cape Liberty on Nov 30th aboard this beautiful new ship and there wasn't one thing about the cruise that disappointed us.
Arrived to the port by private car around 11 am, unloaded luggage easily, parked easily, and had a short walk to the embarkation area. The whole process went smoothly and we were onboard and exploring the ship by noon.
The cabins became available shortly after 1 pm, but there was a glitch with the computerized seapasses that made them inoperable in unlocking cabin doors. This was a minor inconvenience to us, as we just continued to explore the ship while the problem was being worked out by the crew, but many fellow passengers took the opportunity to get VERY bent out of shape. We just didn't see any point in starting out our vacation on a negative foot. It was clear that the crew was doing their best to make things right and were mortified by the whole ordeal. Why make things worse?
9121 - in the forward 'bump-out' section of the ship, well located near forward elevators. HUGE aft-angled balcony, at least 3x normal size - well protected from the wind.
