This was my 9th cruise and my 4th time venturing down to Mexico on a ship. My second trip with RCCL.
Embarkation in LA took over 90 minutes. We were told not to arrive to the port till 1pm but then later found out some of our friends arrived around 11 and were let on the ship! If we knew that was a option we may have been able to beat some of the crowd that all showed up at 1pm. I have never waited that long to get on board before.
We originally ended up at a table that was not with our travel group but by the second night that was taken care of. No problem.
miniature shower, quiet location, easy access to diningroom.
