Embarkation was a breeze. Basically, walked right on. they have an interesting way on this northern europe cruise. Every stop has embarkation and disembarking so there are always new people coming on board. The Ship itself was lovely. Very clean and the staff was always happy to accommodate. The bartenders were a little disorganized though. If you ordered a drink from the bar, they would take your order, take and make someone elses order, start your order, set it aside....at one point, i just walked away and got a drink somewhere else. the vibe of the ship was way to chill. no pool deck entertainment, hardly any activities, and a much older crowd was catered too. The few 20 somethings were desperately searching for each to hang out with since most of them came on board with their parents or grand parents.

the cabin was very nice. We had a balcony 12151. I went with my son and it took a while for them to seperate the beds but our cabin steward was great.
