We arrived early at 10am and it was starting to get busy already. Parked at the terminal car park which was £49 for the 3 nights and worth the extra £10 instead of using the shuttle bus car park. Luggage was collected from our car and we walked to the Ship which took 5 mins max.
There were staff with iPad's checking people in at the door but we like many others, were just waved through to security and then held in an area before we got on the Ship. This new check-in process with the iPad's is a free for all. There is no real order or queue and the lady who checked us in had to go and get another iPad as it stopped working. Very annoying! Eventually we got on board.
CABINS:
Nice and new
Better layer out than older ships as you would expect
Disappointed no proper chair just a stool
Cabins are obstructed views by the lifeboats but are not sold as such so be warned and book deck 7 or above
Just took the train car from the ship around the town
Some nice buildings to see as well as places
Great city
