Embarkation was the standard stand in various slow moving lines. New Orleans is not the most efficient port not the most inefficient. Bags were delivered to the room at 5PM.
Room was reasonable size with adequate closets and drawers. The ship is 11-years old and starting to show sign of aging. The ship is probably scheduled for a remodel. The bathroom decor was a pink normally associated with 1956. The television did not receive the movie channels that it was supposed to get. The main hallways were the light green you find in mental institutions.
Our room was beneath the buffet restaurant. They do most of their maintenance at 3AM, hence it was quite noisy. I asked them to keep it down, but to no avail. Do not stay on the 8th floor!!
Reasonable size
good sized closets, drawers
Good view
WAT TOO NOISY (under restaurant, they do maintenance at 3AM)
