Great first cruise, learned a lot for next cruise.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Very easy, I was stressed it was going to be difficult, the only hard part was finding a parking spot. Theirs people everywhere directing where to go. Super easy and went by super fast, I waited from the time I parked to the time I got on the boat maybe 15 mins.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
I didn’t go to the main dining room BUT my room steward was amazing! The room was always done in a timely manner. Every personal I met was absolutely amazing so friendly and helpful. And AJ the housekeeping manger was amazing, I got to talk with him for a bit and had a couple gifts from the crew.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
It took me a bit to get the ship down Pat and figured out. I got backwards a bit but use the map on the app!!! It’s an older ship but it’s a good ship. Yes the 5th deck smelled like sewage but not over baring. Everything was so clean and look and felt freshed. I am a housekeeping manager and was blown away show clean the ship was
Cabin / Stateroom

It’s an older ship, but we’ll maintained and very clean. The room is what you expect, small but for me and my brother it was big enough, all we did was sleep and shower
Ship tip
Start your cruise with an open mind. If you never sailed before, take a deep breath and breathe, you’ll meet so many people(passengers) that’ll help you and show you everything you need to do/know.
The port was nice, terminal 3 is new and updated. Didn’t do any excursions but rode around. I highly recommend Towneplace suites if your looking for somewhere to stay, yes it’s high but we’ll worth it!!!!
It’s interesting….. didn’t do any excursions, we decided to walk around and sight see, and shop, a lot of great shops. My only advice/ 2cents be aware of the straw market, it is like everyone says, people will grab you and try and put things on your wrists they do want DONATIONS.
My personal disembarkation was iffy. My mustard station was called by 7am and got to the doors to get off. Was a few hickups but was off and through customs pretty fast with everything that I had to jump through.
