for it being an older ship, it was very clean, well maintained and a lot of fun

we arrived at 945 since our check in time was 10. we only waited for about an hour, and they started boarding suite diamond/platinum guests at 1045, we were on the ship at 1050!!!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

very easy. they started disembarking at 8, we went to our area at 810 and were off around 845. the longest wait was for an elevator in the terminal since my aunt had a walker and she can't do an escalator. otherwise, it would've been quicker
