Review summary

Getting on and on was faster than I expected. The room was not a closet, as I feared. Employees were very nice and helpful (I got the feeling they would be fired immediately if they weren’t). Lots of food choices. If you’re a drinker, alcohol is everywhere. Something that was odd was that water is treated like commodity on the ship... it was annoying. To get a bottled water you had to give your card and wait for several minutes. You are also not allowed to bring it on. It is not free at your in room bar btw. Overall, once you figure out where everything is and how to get there, it was a very good time.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Security was fairly easy. There was an issue trying to switch the hold credit card for the room. They were actually unable to do it at the gate (even with a supervisors help). I ended up having to do it on the ship. It was not the end of the world, but was a little frustrating.

Cabin / Stateroom

Overall, very nice. The bed could have been a little more comfortable, not horrible, but wasn’t great.

Ship tip

It is generally easier to walk on your floor to the farther elevators, rather than taking the close elevators and dodging people on floors 6 - 8 or 15 to get to your destination.
