Review summary

I chose this ship as it was leaving from Boston - close to where I live, and I could get there using public transit. I also liked their ports of call. I always wanted to see them, and I knew I probably wouldn't drive to them. The experience was excellent. Even when the weather was not so great or establishments were closed for Sunday and the Labor Day holiday, I had a great time. I did not take advantage of the excursions - I just wanted to walk around close to the ship - it was great!

Everything looked great!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The bed was a little too big for the cabin space. I would go for a full size bed instead of a king size.

Ship tip

Keep a map of the ship handy. It is very long, and you can get turned around sometimes trying to find a location.
