Embarkation - Luggage drop off was a scramble.

We were dropped off to a huge mob in the parking lot in front of our pier. They needed more Royal Caribbean employees to direct things, and they also needed more signs. No one knew anything, and I waited in one mob around a table, and was told that’s where we would pick up our Seapass cards (sounded a little weird), but once I got a little closer, I learned it was the luggage tag table. I think it would have been a lot less hectic, if we all got luggage tags (sent automatically) like Royal Caribbean used to. There was also the added confusion of seeing porters for Rhapsody AND Solstice. My husband finally handed his bags to a porter, and we headed for the building labeled Rhapsody. There we met another long line, but this one was more organized and moved faster. In the next room, we found the priority boarding line, and met a sweet man, Chris, who took our set sail form and scanned our passports. He also took our picture for the database. A short while later, the gang plank gates opened, and we were led to the photography people, we had no way to opt out of the embarkation photos, because they were using those photos to sync to the face recognition software. We also found these photos later in the photo gallery on deck 6.

We ate lunch in the Park Café and around 1 PM, they let us into our rooms.
