We chose this cruise as we had a large party and it was basically the one that suited all. That said there was some thought that there may have been better cruise available - that was proved incorrect as we all loved it.
The embarkation process was seamless and very fast. Baggage assistants on the wharf helped the process and our luggage was in our room when we opened the door.
The condition of the ship at present is very good with no real sign anywhere of wear and tear. Common areas are very nice and well maintained. The stateroom was above our exceptions in size and condition.
Great sized room in very good condition with extra large balcony. Deck 10 does have a large balcony - understand that levels above look down into it on the Emerald - no big deal for us.
Great tour of three very different towns. Good amount of free time vs tour
