This was my 2nd cruise ever, the only other being a Medeterranian cruise.
Embarkation was a lot of waiting. Check in didn't take long but we arrived around 11/11:30 and had to wait over an hour to get on the ship. This may be standard, but on the Med cruise we walked right on after check in.
We did go straight to the room and it was still being cleaned but he let us leave our luggage, as we only had carry-ons.
Bathroom was disappointingly small compared to the mini suite on my first cruise. Plenary of storage for two people. No noise from hall or other rooms, especially for being close to elevators.
