Review summary

I was reluctant to try such a large ship but it was fantastic and there was still plenty of quiet places to be found or lots of things to do if you felt that way inclined. The captain kept us updated with any rough weather and was very reassuring. Everyone seemed very relaxed enjoying a wonderful time

Embarkation
