Review summary

To me, any cruise is what you make it. It's not going to be perfect. I spent 21 years in the military and I know how to adapt. Things that make other people mad and upset, really doesn't affect me. I'm just saying. I just thank God that I'm able to cruise. GOOD CRUISE.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Parking in the garage was a little hectic. I think it's time to expand the parking deck. It's toooooo small for the number of cruisers that the bigger ships carry.

Cabin was pretty good size and Henry kept it clean for us. Have to get that luggage out of the way though.

Ship tip

You're on a cruise ship. Make the best of it. If you look for something wrong, you will find it. I will say, staff will do their best to make sure that things are right for you.

Disembarkation

Good experience if you have passports, which my wife and I do. If not, the process is real slow.
