Review summary

It was a very nice cruise. The sea was very calm and weather was mostly sunny and warm.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Since we were on a back to back cruise, we did not go through the embarkation process, but when we did in Boston, it was very good and only took a few minutes to complete process. There is a big staff to keep process flowing very efficiently.
