Embarkation:
We arrived at Port Canaveral at 11:30 a.m. and were on the ship by 12:00 or so. We left our car at the pier, just a couple of rows from the baggage collection areas. We dropped off our bags and were directed inside through security. After filling out a health questionaire, we stood in line for no more than 15 minutes for check-in. We received a card with a zone number on it, and once that number was called we were able to board the ship.
The rooms were not ready, so all were directed to the Lido Deck 10 to enjoy lunch. It was a madhouse of people with their carry-ons trying to find a buffet. There are several buffet areas, and one that I thought would move quickly was a Mongolian BBQ where they cook your entree after you select the ingredients. I walked around and found that the Tandori buffet at the aft had no line at all. After a rather spicy but delicious lunch, we headed to our cabin.
8402 - Inside cabin, could smell bacon cooking each morning, but otherwise very quiet location.
