This is our third cruise this year, I think we are addicted! We stayed over the night before in Boston, and took an early flight to get to LA nice and early and go right to the boat. Our flight was about 45 minutes late arriving (about 1.5 hours taking off), but we still go to the boat about 1:20 and were onboard an in our cabin before 2:30, not super fast, but pretty good. Since we were in a suite, we only waited behind one party at check-in, and not in the longer line. The hardest problem was all of the lines for pictures (sea pass cards as well as souvenirs). The cabin was very nice, and we have lots of pictures if anyone cares to see, as it was hard to find Grand Suite pictures anywhere online besides RCI's and even the ones we found were not what we had.
The cruise itself was nice, and felt un-crowded. The staff was pleasant, and the food was good, not great. We prefer the upscale specialty restaurants over the set dining. He buffet was eh at best, the dining room highlight was definitely the custom made pasta at lunch. We just aren't into large dining rooms with banquet style service. When I order filet, I like my own steak, not slices from tenderloin, even if it is good.
In Cabo, we did our own thing. Spent some time at Lover's Beach with is pretty, but also a little crowded. Did a little window shopping, stopped by Cabo Wabo, at a ok lunch out, just basically relaxed.
