My wife and I have taken seven cruises which included Carnival, NCL, and Celebrity. This was our first with RC. We were celebrating our 40th anniversary.
Embarkation: We arrived at the baggage drop-off by 11:00, parked in the whale lot, and were enjoying lunch in the Windjammer by noon. The boarding process was similar to most cruises we have taken with minimal waiting in line. This, of course was dependent upon the early arrival.
Cabin: We had an inside cabin on deck 9. Convenient and quiet. It was smaller than some we have been in, but very comfortable. It was a good choice for us since we spent so little time in the room. Storage space was well designed and adequate for our needs. The bathroom was roomy enough except for the shower. It would probably be a tight fit for anyone over 250 lbs.
