Since we live in the Northeast we flew into New Orleans on Friday morning prior to embarkation. We arrived around 12:30, checked in and were able to explore New Orleans that day and evening. That was fine although I am not in any rush to return to that area.
Boarding
On Saturday we checked out of hotel and were on board by 12:00. Very smooth embarkation. Good Job Royal Caribbean!! Lines moved along very rapidly and as long as everyone had their cruise documents in hand there was no issues.
We had 1 cabin 7383, an inside room. The cabin had plenty enough room and was comfortable. Everything was in working order, very clean. There was plenty of storage space and we were very happy. Quiet part of ship. Loved it
