As a first time cruiser the experience was great. Will for sure do it again!

Embarkation

Embarkation port delays, little or no explanation. NY port can stand for some Reno.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Mini suite is the way to go. The bath is the secret, much larger, what a pleasure. The room was very comfortable, and well kept by our steward.

Ship tip

Plan and make reservations where necessary, get up early to secure a sundeck lounger.
