Review summary

If you are thinking about this trip, jump in. Spend as much as you can reasonably afford; your upgrades will largely be worth it. Pinnacle Grill is pricey for a couple and may not be worth it - Main Dining Room is perfectly fine. Neptune Suite is worth it for all of the amenities.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Kind of efficient (because we got there early) but once on the ship, not much direction and somewhat disorganized. Try to get your stateroom key as soon as you can to avoid "charging for drinks" confusion if you have a drink package.
