We arrived exactly at our check in time and were able to check in immediately. It was an efficient check in with minimal queuing. It seemed many people had arrived earlier than they were advised and had to wait a long time in the hot lounge. Overall a very good experience- we were able to go immediately to our cabins and our luggage arrived soon after.
The cabins are well appointed and comfortable. The full size White Company products in the bathroom were appreciated.
In general, the ship feels a little dated- it lacks the glitzy, modern wow factor of many others. It's clean and perfectly functional though.
