Embarkation: A relatively long line, but it moved along OK. We got to the port at about 11:30, were on the ship by 12:15 and almost immediately able to get into our rooms. Bags arrived by 4.
Prior to boarding we stayed at the Red Carpet Inn. Cheap, and you get what you pay for.
Dining in general:
Room 2153:
Good view, given that we were so low to the waterline. Room itself was fine, sort of standard fare. Bathroom was good, air conditioning needed to be turned up for us and a closet door broke day one.
Otherwise, nothing special or bad. Occasional bad odors (untreated sewage) in the hallway, but they fixed something about mid-cruise and that disappeared.
