Our first time cruise but after the Conquest, WILL NOT be our last!
We did as much research as we could prior to taking the cruise (including reviews, boards, articles) so we would know what to expect. I recommend this to everyone who is taking a cruise. I'll follow the Cruiser's Choice Poll for this review.
Embarkation - Much smoother than we thought it would be, especially considering two large ships were dis-embarking and embarking passengers. We arrived early (10:15) and whizzed straight through with no lines. We were lucky enough to begin boarding at 11 (vice the 12 advertised). We were on by 11:30.
8347 was great. When I first saw the location (close to the elevators) I thought noise was going to be an issue. Only noise we heard was the sraping of chairs one deck up. Overall was REALLY satisfied.
