Check-in was done without any issue. I liked the check-in process of having our security photo done at the check-in counter.
Also giving out the Freestyles Times while we waited was informative and helped pass the time.We were onboard before 12 noon and our cabin was ready by 1:00. We went to the Magenta dining room and had a very nice lunch: steak and fries.
The weather was not in our favor - snow failing caused the decks to be closed and all activities were inside. We did the ship tour- which was just okay.
