The night before our first cruise was met with excitement and a little anxiety on my part. Not knowing what exactly to expect with the shuttle from the Country Inn and Suites in Linthicum, Md to the port and if we had to carry our bags to the port or get a porter. The list goes on and on! The hotel was fantastic, as well as the staff. They assured me everything was going smoothly and made sure we got into port with plenty of time to spare. Our driver, Dominic, told us some interesting facts on the way to the port and was very funny and polite! The food, room, endless coffee and juice and warm cookies went along way with us after having traveled from Roanoke, VA in the pouring rain for most of the way.

Finally, cruise day! The first sight of the ship was great! Having never been on a cruise before, my family, which consists of two boys ages 16 and 14 and our daughter who is 13 were so amazed at the sight before us! WOW here we go! Going through port security and getting on-board was no problem at all. Everyone seemed so nice and showed such patience with us. I am the only one to have a passport while the others all had Birth Certificates that had to be put into the computers by hand. It was time consuming, but the lady at the desk was wonderful. Once on-board, we were allowed to go directly to our stateroom. Again, amazing! After the ship had gone through a stretching, it made our room now 608 sq.ft! It slept 8 and had 2 bathrooms. We then ventured to the Windjammer Cafe. I had read that the lines were awful to get food and some preferred not to do "buffet" style. We did not run into any of this at all! The passengers all moved smoothly and quickly getting all they could ever want to eat or drink. The service was great and the food delicious. The next two days at sea were wonderful! We got to know our room attendant, Courtney. He was absolutely wonderful and his surprise pets that he made for us were adorable. We had to take pictures of them. So cute. Our room was directly below the Cafe and never once were we disturbed by noise or movement. The window was perfect to sit in and watch the morning come. The beds were extremely comfortable and well laid out.

Our dining staff, Denzil and Sheryl, were top notch! I can't say enough about them. We thought they were very attentive and really got to know the children. The head waiter, B was great. He came by nightly to check to make sure we had everything we needed. Josephine, the hostess, was amazing! She knew our room number after the first night and never had trouble scheduling our My Time Dining reservations. There was also a hostess from the Windjammer cafe. Her name was Reah. She was fantastic! We looked forward to seeing her every morning. Her bright smile and great attitude were infectious. We enjoyed trying new dishes and being treated like royalty was so new to us that even the children didn't mind wearing nice clothes every night to dinner! The food...WOW delicious.

Room 8012 was more than we could have hoped for! More space needed for kids clothes maybe. Quiet location and great window at the front of the ship!
