Took Van to NYC port parking was available but much easier to be dropped off and picked up. We arrived at 10:30 am. No delay dropped bags with porter went thru security no issue and walked up to register. We had preregistered so it was very fast. Group #11 to board. Relaxed looked over specialty restaurants spa info etc. We are both 60 and took our 9 yr old granddaughter with us. Got on boards about 1130.
We explored the ship located out cabin 11 deck mid ship. Mini suite with balcony. Good storage no drawers but plenty of shelves. All 3 of us unpacked stored suitcases under bed. Had King size bed and a pull out . Large bathroom two sinks large shower. Cabin 11788 good location.
Explored the ship located all important locations loads of restaurants. Bars every few feet. Pools were OK can get wet no children in main pool. That means 60 yr old had to swim in kiddee pool with granddaughter.
Good deal of room. shelves for clothes suitcases under bed. 2 adults and 1 child we fit.
