I would like to start out by saying, "What a wonderful ship"!
The embarkation was very easy to go through. We had no wait at all. We arrived at the dock around 10:30 am and were on the ship by 11:10 am. Our room was not ready yet so we put our luggage in the walk-in closet. Yes I said walk-in closet. Our room was a very nice size. We had a Junior Suite and it was worth every penny. We have already decided the next time we cruise it will have to be a balcony room again.
We walked around before anyone was really on the ship and looked around. This ship was unbelievable. From front to back we couldn't believe our eyes. We then decided to head to the Windjammer to get something to eat. The food was good but not great. We then signed up for our soda cards. They cost $42 per adult. That was a little outrageous for pop all week. I had just recently read on the RCCL website that it was only $32 per adult so it was very shocking.
