We are first time cruisers with my husband and myself in one cabin and 15yr daughter and 13yr son next door cabin.
Found the whole process of boarding very smooth and quick - we opted to the first boarding time of 3.00-3.30pm. Very smooth process.
Had already organised my Credit Card details through the website - so the only thing we had to do was to swap my husband and daughter from one cabin to another - was not a problem.
Great room, lots of storage. Balcony room. Mostly quiet as it is towards to back of the ship.
