Review summary

When we arrived we were told to go to the Windjammer for lunch that was not the best way to start off the cruise as EVERYONE on the ship was trying to get a seat for lunch. I was with a friend that needed wheel chair assistance and it was impossible to find a seat. We roamed for almost 30 minutes with our full plates before someone offered to share their alreasy packed table. Beds terrible. Lounge entertainment was excellent!!

Size was what was expected. The beds were uncomfortable we woke up with back aches every night. Did not experience this on my last cruise. It was very clean.

Not like the bigger ships but for value it was good

The first day is always the worst as people try to grab lunch and its to be expected. We always go grab something light and take it out on the upper deck and just relax until our rooms are available. I also know some people take snacks with them in their bags.

I know the Windjammer is jammed that first day. We have started booking a specialty restaurant for lunch on the first day. Worth every penny ( around $20 pp) It's quiet and when your done eating your rooms are usually ready.
