Additional details
Check in was very quick. The thing to do is arrive early ( 10:30 and noon ). Have your paperwork ready, meaning passport and boarding boarding pass. Passengers are asked to fill out a health . At the sign in desk sign for credit card use and receive your pass key. They wil l take ID picture for pass key. As you proceed to the ship the picture crew starts taking pictures which can be purchased during crews. Speaking of buying things, if one drinks a lot of cola products of fancy coffees, one might consider a drink card or coffee card. Either allows many drinks at a reduced price. One must be a drinker for it to pay for itself.
When one gets onboard find the stateroom, go to the Lido Deck and start the feeding frenzy, and tour the ship ( on ones own or guided tour ). Between 3:30 and 5pm the ship holds a lifeboat drill. On this ship they did not require life vests , because of trip hazards with loose vest ties.
Dinner , first seating starts at 5:30. The ship also has open seating meaning one can make arrangements to eat at ones own time.

Large, comfortable room. Queen size bed. Had a shower and tub with jets. Bathroom has two sinks and two cabinets for make-up and toiletries. Two dressing tables. Each able had 4 small drawers. Two large pull-out drawers under the bed. Room to store 4 regular suitcases under the bed. Two standard size ship's closets. The life jackets take two of the top shelves. Shelves are adjustable. Closet also has a safe. Room is made-up twice, but more can be requested, there is a "service requested" sign available to put on the outside of the door. Room service is available ; remember a tip for server. Our cabin stewards were very helpful, friendly and available when needed.
