We chose this cruise to treat our son and grand-daughters (12 and 15 years old).

It was their first experience. Everything turned out perfectly! From embarkation (10 minutes!) to disembarkation (10 minutes!). We had done the check-in online in October and had printed out our Sea passes...that's why everything was so fast!

The longest wait was in the car waiting to pass the check points before entering the port (35 minutes). Once through, we left our luggage with the porter (be sure to have your cabin tags on your luggage). Then, found a parking space and got on the dock. With passports and Sea passes in hand, it took about 5 minutes to get on the ship and in our staterooms. We had adjoining rooms 11682 and 11684. Small but clean and confortable. Not a lot of storage but you do not need many clothes. Every day, you wore your bathing suit with a cover up for breakfast and lunch. At night, if it was a casual night, you could wear jeans but no shorts. When it was formal night, for men, a nice shirt and nice pants, for women, nice top and nice pants or a little dress. Yes, you saw some tuxedos and sequins but that was about 1% only. Read more
