Review summary

As first time cruisers we found it hard to start with as we didn't know how things run and where to go to find out info , people spoke to us as if we knew what happens.... maybe have a short info talk for first timers when you board the ship (optional)

Yes I am also going on that cruise in March - it has been over 30 years since I have been on a cruise I'm sure lots have changed.
