Review summary

This cruise was recommended by friends and was well worth the trip.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
We got to the pier/terminal with no issues. We dropped off our luggage and proceeded to the check-in stations. Things came to a grinding halt when the computers stopped working. It took 30-45 minutes to get things working and we were able to board the ship.
