Review summary

Just very relaxing, very smooth for the cruise, a couple ports we didn’t get off the ship we’ve been to Mexico a lot

Embarkation

1 out of 5
It was a dog pile of disorganization, we had a 10:00am time, and the lines all over, first off the woman in charge acted like a drill sergeant barking orders, we then final after standing outside for about 45 minutes, then ordered everyone to seat down, and then sat for another hour, and kept shouting seat down, before the first group, shouting at the rest seat down till I tell you to get up. Then we circle around the insof the terminal and then got on.

Cabin / Stateroom

This was an inside state nicely laid out, very clean, the only thing is that even though the world stage was on deck 3&4 depending on the environment you could hear the singers, so I think they should lower the volume, because we had rooms right below us.

Ship tip

If you have anytime dining and you want want to eat at the same time or different times make reservations, also book early for specialty dining.
