Embarkation: Arrived at port about 11:30. We had a cat 12 cabin, so VIP check in, this means the short line for security. No problem here, just like the airport.

We sat 4 minutes, set up the sign and sail and were directed to the gangway. A short line to get on and we were aboard!!

Cabins: Cabins are not ready till 1:30(ish) but once they were, it was a pleasure to go in. Cat 12 gives you plenty of room, almost as much as a hotel room. bathroom is nice as well. Clean, well maintained. Read more
