Embarkation and Disembarkation was easy. We arrived early enough to be one of the first groups allowed to board. That was around 11:30am. Our room was ready a little after 1pm but we were too busy exploring the ship and didn't get there till around 2pm.

Even at the pool where previous reviews stated that "oh, I could never get chairs" blah blah blah... We never had a problem finding chairs.
