We left out of Fort Lauderdale, embarking was drawn out we got there at 11 and had to sit and wait inside till 12 to get on, they made a point of only allowing diamond or higher on first and staff made a big deal of it, which was annoying and demoralising for some passengers were made to feel non important. we embarked through deck 3, the foyer being totally unremarkable with none of th glitz and glamour of thier other ships. My first impressions was pretty drab looking, up in the lift to the bufett. The food was good with plenty of choice. cabins were ready at 1.

Cabins were slightly bigger than normal and gave a couple of feet of more space with decent sized vanity table and bathroom bigger than most. the cabin had a sofa which was vinyl and not very comfy to sit on at all. Balcony good big and room to move ok...Storage was good with extra space above the bed and drawers for clothes under the tv along with fridge..beds were really comfy.

up on deck 15 is the lawn, which really is a waste of space, it should have chairs to sit out on and was not used hardly at all they had bowls you play on it and 3 holes for golf but it was pretty bumpy to putt. The bar staff here not overly friendly and the bar was not always open...one evening they had wine anch cheese on but there was nowhere to sit only on the grass and given that most passengers on the cruise were over 50 and 60 and 70 how they expected them to sit on the ground ive no idea, as most would never get up again...they also had this before a formal night at 5 pm, so no one went as they were gettng ready for dinner...I didnt think a lot of thought had gone into this one they should have had it in one of the bars...The glass blowing was on this deck and we did find this very interesting as demonstrations go, with items created being given away as prizes.
