Review summary

Overall I had a wonderful time. I went to relax and I did. I did what I wanted, when I wanted…it was awesome!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was smooth…as I was with my sister who have a high status with this cruise line, so we and didn’t have to get in the extremely long line to check in.
