Review summary

I need to find another location to cruise as soon as possible.... I was spoiled with how easy it was without 4000 people on board ! Cruise Now, it's definitely worth it

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Boarding was a breeze.... Haven is definitely the way to go

The Haven's dining room was fantastic, I was a little disappointed in Wasabi's though, I thought Cagney's was great.

You are correct with passenger counts being low and great time to cruise without the crowds, BUT, you better act fast, cause cruise ships are increasing their capacities, whether its the cruise lines or just more people want to cruise, but the time is definitely now. I have been on cruises with anywhere from 25%-75% capacity and its great with no lines anywhere, and you just walk into MDR and are seated right away with nobody near you either.

Can you pick a check in time when you do the online check in?
