Fast and easy. It took 24 mins to go from the street curb drop-off to reach the buffet dining room aboard the ship. Rather pleasant and no hassle whatsoever.
• Cabin Number: 2705• Cabin Category: Lower, Inside, Center (The most stabilized section of the ship).• Your review: Compact and clean. CABIN ISSUES: • The smallest inside cabin we have ever stayed in. • No mini-fridge, therefore all the drinks (warm) and snacks were just spread out across the bedroom vanity counter. • The bathroom and the clothes closet lacked sufficient shelving. • No ice bucket in the room, but available through the attendant. • It took the cabin attendant 1 ½ days to replenish an empty box of tissues.• Some very slight wear-and-tear noted in the cabin. • The bottom corner of the bathroom metal door frame/floor had some rust.
