Leaving Cape Liberty is a little hectic-- you have to go throught the check-in, then get on a bus for short ride to the ship. It will be much better when the new terminal is done. Then the fun begins-- trays of mimosas as you cross the threshhold.

The ship is older, but very nice-- and clean. Rooms were ready early and luggage came quickly. We had chosen the beverage package as our 1-2-3 choice-- wonderful!! One of us upgraded the package for $10/day, the other kept it at the basic level. Both worked well as the wine kept flowing through dinner. 3 sea days at the beginning were nice to get acclimated to the ship, very relaxing. Had 2 ports (St Maarten & St Thomas)-- nothing new there.

Don't like having a port on the last cruise day, would rather have a sea day to finish things out and be able to pack up. Food was wonderful, so was service. They offered great incentives for our next cruise & it's already booked!!!
