Embarkation:
Sunday, we dropped the car off at Budget and waited unit about 10:50 before they started running the shuttles. Once at the port, the process went smoothly and very, very quickly. I don't think it was more than 15 minutes from the time we hit the door until we were in the Windjammer.
We got right into our room at 1:00 pm. At 12:45 we went up to the Deck 7 library to wait. We actually asked for the same cabin we had last year because we loved it. #7308 was still in pretty good shape when we arrived, but after all, it had been "lived in" by lots of travelers since 4/12. The only things we really noticed wear-and-tear wise were a chunk out of the bathroom sink about the sizes of a nickel and that the table legs were super scuffed up. Other than that, the cabin was wonderful. It's a midship balcony cabin.
Great midship balcony with no noise from above or below as those are also staterooms.
