PRE-BOARDING Check-in was SIMPLE. You will enter a large building, follow the Homeland Security staff, and wait in line according to your floor number on the ship. Have your credit card ready to be scanned on your Sea Pass card (which you will carry at all times on the ship). They will take your picture so that every time your card is scanned, your face will show up on their computer.
Remember to bring some type of lanyard to wear around your neck. They will punch a hole in your Sea Pass card so that it can be with you at all times.
DO NOT TAKE PICTURES while you are in the Homeland Security building. Cameras are NOT allowed.
Our stateroom slept 4...there were 2 twin beds and a couch that pulled out into a double. We did have a balcony, although it was too hot to sit on it. The room was VERY small but doable. There was a large closet with hangers and cubbies. The desk area also had a few drawers. We ended up emptying our suitcases and putting them under the bed (there was plenty of room under the bed). It would be difficult for 4 adults to stay in this kind of room....we had 2 adults, 1 teen, and 1 preschooler.
