Review summary

Great first cruise! I enjoyed it for my birthday. Many nice people to cruise with and an excellent staff.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Very good. I would make the recommendation that explicit instructions to check in no matter what are included on the onboarding ticket. The reason being, we saw a rally point that said something similar to C4. Well, at the terminal, we were at a door marked terminal 4. Being our first cruise, we went ahead and asked. Thankful we did, or we would still be standing at that door!

Adi (Not my job), waiter in Horizons and his assistant (Justin Beiber) made the entire cruise. We ate their each night specifically because he was there. Very entertaining and very good at what he does.
