Review summary

We enjoyed all 11 days on this beautiful ship. We had the drink package on board credit Wi-Fi and a balcony. Boarding was a piece of cake in Brooklyn. It was our first time leaving from this location and I was very very concerned about traffic but everything worked out fine. The weather was beautiful and this was the smoothest ride I’ve ever had on a cruise ship it barely felt like we were on the sea. We felt the ship was a nice design and utilized all the spaces well. Would have liked to seen more live bands and not karaoke style music. So many reviews are negative, but you should go and try it for yourself. Keep your expectations in check and you won’t be disappointed.

Cabin / Stateroom

I loved having the balcony. it was extra wide, but it did not have a glass lower portion.

Ship tip

When disembarking if you were waiting to be picked up, stay on the ship as long as you can because waiting outside the ship on a rainy cold day is not fun. if it only cost you a little more money to park, do that.

Disembarkation

Getting off the ship was a breeze, but waiting outside wasn’t so much fun in the rain.
