Embarkation on the ship about 30 minutes once out of taxi. However this will plague us later in the trip. Had to switch daughter and husband room since we booked prior to my oldest turning 21 years old. Wanted my two girls to stay together in a room and my husband and I to be in the other room. Lady in port rudely asked why we did not book this way in the first place. Kindly told her because we booked a year ago and daughter just turned 21. She refused to change the occupants told us we had to do that once we were on the ship.

First thing on board changed the room occupants 20 minute wait not to bad. Little did we know we would have to go to customer service repeatedly that first night and the next morning. My husbands and one daughter's room key kept getting blanked out and would not open the door. GS just kept sending maintenance up to fix the problem when there was nothing wrong with the door lock. Finally after multiple room keys being issued, door memory and battery being changed they gave up and called Miami to fix the problem. I believe if the embarkation staff would have made the switch in port this would not have happened. Word to the wise insist on it being done before getting on the ship otherwise expect wasting some precious cruise time.

After that it was smooth sailing and can not say enough about how fun the ship was. Worried about entertainment but was pleasantly surprised by the 2 variety shows they had special for our cruise. Evolution of Edge is the best, don't miss his show if they fly him in for cruise. Also really enjoyed TC Tahoe a comic magician. Very entertaining. Other shows I saw was the Brits-screen was messed up so graphics that were half the show was disappointing. Divas was good. Comics Tom Brown very good, Tom Drake was good too! Steve White the show I saw was not his best which he even admitted he can not do the family show at 7:30PM. Be aware you have to get to comedy club early to get a seat, yes you have to stand in line about half hour to get a good seat.

Cabin Review

Interior Upper/Lower

Cabin 1a

1A room 6229 over ovation theatre so be prepared for noise but we had no problem sleeping. Plenty of storage space. did not like the hair dryer in the first drawer prefer it to be in bathroom. Do not like hair getting on desk and in the drawer would rather it all be in the toilet room.
