Manbur717, No cruise (or anything) is flawless. When minor details pop up, deal with them (either ask staff to resolve them or forget about them), and don't let a 10 minute issue affect a 7 day cruise. Some do. Look for the good and you'll find it... Be a kid...."

We've been on a few, and for us, the thrill never is leas than the first one. I'm like a little boy, every time... Glad you two enjoyed it!

First cruise for a couple has to me a memorable time together. Hope the memories stay, and you can add to them on future cruises.
