Boarding day arrived and a very excited 60+ couple made our way to join the ship. We completed our covid tests and soon we were on this beautiful ship. We were escorted to reception where we were informed that we had an upgrade, so now we had a gorgeous balcony cabin, although I believe all cabins are very well appointed .
