This was the first cruise that either of us have taken. I guess we will take it step by step
Embarkation:
We arrived at the port at about 1130. We had booked a suite and in turn got to go through the VIP check in and got a welcome lunch in Cagney's. We had been seated in Cagney's by 12.
First cruise for us done in 10000 and I don't thing i will ever cruise in anything less than a suite. This suite has a king sized bed, a lounge area with couch and chair, and a dining area with a table. The closet has ample space for storage. the draws could be a little bigger but it worked. The bathroom has a actual bath as well as a separate room in the bath for the toilet. The best was as comfortable as any bed I've slept on and plenty of pillows. The suite as a mini-bar (can be a little pricy). My favorite thing is the coffee machine. This machine make the best coffee I have ever had (its like a grind and brew kurreg machine) Our butler Nelson introduced himself promptly and for the entire cruise was very attentive and helpful. Nelson always had snack for us in our room for us when we came back. The room steward, Romeo, was one of the greatest people we met. Romeo knew our name immediately and always called us by them. anything we need we had and Romeo always had our room nice and tidy.
The only negatives about this particular room is that you feel every little movement of the ship (being on the bow) and the wind can get a little noisy when at sea. The wind problem is solved by closing the Bulk head door.
