title is reference to boarding incident -- this is nothing to slam the Latitude program -- Our boarding was the fastest smoothest ever (17 cruises - and not implying others haven't been easy - most lines are really doing well here) but then 15 minutes or less after we got to the pier, we are in line on the boarding ramp -- moving reasonably, maybe 75 passengers ahead of us - and a couple of people jumped the line - scooting around a corner of the ramp ahead of about 50 people - I saw more people coming behind me in the same manner, and stepped to the side to block the opening -- the woman (about 65 or so) yelled at me to get out the way and let her through, and I asked why? She states, I'm a latitude member, I don't have to wait in line! I said, well i'm a latitude member too, why can't I jump ahead. She said, go ahead, no ones stopping you! the poor dear must have misunderstood some priority boarding term - I finally stepped aside and she got up about 15-20 people further and stood with some others, glaring at me for quite a few minutes to which I loudly stated, funny how latitude rhymes with rude! I know I should have been gracious and let her line jump quietly, but I'm not quite sure how many others would have simply let her go -

HOWEVER - once on board ship, our cruise was fine - roomy (normal size verandah cabin) that had tons of drawers, shelves etc didn't even touch one of the drawers (it was broken - but fixed the day after I reported it) didn't miss it at all! Had the best room steward ever - Jayson! other parts of the cruise were excellent - nice ship - pleasant staff, well done job of upgrading to accomodate anytime dining but did not locate the sushi or tapas until the last day - on Jewel class ships they are midship and everyone passes them nearly every trip thru the ship -- on the Sun they are upstairs on deck 11 and kind of tucked in with Cagneys and LeBistro - didn't notice the smaller venues because I only saw the major ones from the stairwell and it looked like they were the only things up there.. Only flaw I noticed was a lack of places to just plop to read a book, visit etc. Library is small - there were places around the centrum, but I've always looked for areas that are quiet, and not active - those are a bit limited on this vessel. otherwise food, service, trip - all quite enjoyable, and easiest disembarking as well - and no latitude members running me over!!
