Review summary

The only thing that wasn't a pleasant experience was the travel. If I take a cruise in the future, I will absolutely arrange my own airfare. Otherwise, it was a wonderful experience and a very fun honeymoon!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We arrived from the airport early and they let us get on the ship almost immediately. They did not make us wait the 3 hours.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our cabin was great. We had a little sofa in the room so we could spread out if we wanted to.

Ship tip

Don't book travel through the cruise company; make your own arrangements. Every leg of the trip coming home was an absolute nightmare because everybody on the cruise was at the airport at the same time and in line for the same airlines. Also, there was no direction from the airlines about where the hoards of people could go, so we were left to our own devices.
