I have read other reviews of this cruise, and of others from Malaga, and have to disagree with many points raised. So, we arrived the night before having made our own plans and stayed close to the port, which of course meant a very long and expensive taxi trip to the port. Malaga is undergoing extensive building work and the best place to stay at present is the Old Town area.
We arrived at 11am - earlier than the time recommended by RCCL, so we can't complain about the cabins being locked or the Windjammer not being open.
We did queue for about 10mins after dropping our luggage off outside the terminal and by reading the signs and asking for help, we found our way in. We faced a long line for security checks but were only held up by people who could not understand what to do (same as an airport really). We headed for the Diamond check-in and were quickly through, no lines there, or at the Platinum or Suite desks.
Very spacious Junior Suite with excellent balcony that looks forward on the starbaord side - only spoiled by people smoking on the ones next door and below. Nice bath and shower and its so good having a walk in closet.
