Review summary

This is a big ship: nineteen decks, 952 feet long, and 3100 passengers. Be prepared to walk a lot, wait a lot, and don't look for those 'little' touches that you may have become accustomed to on smaller ships.Embarkation was a disaster, with long waiting lines in a light rain, and no explanation offered as to the delay...no chairs, no refresments , nothing.
