Embarkement: Didnt take long at all....spent a total of 30 minutes on line before actually entering the boat.
Was able to smuggle 2 bottles of liquor in water bottles on board inside my checked luggage. Rooms and luggage was avaliable as soon as we got on.
Inside cabin was ok....rather small....but just enough room for me and my daughter. The room is cleaned at least twice a day. The second time around is when they usually make your towel animals, and leave you your freestyle daily which includes everything that will happen for the next day. FYI: all the rooms have Mini Bars, which includes liquor, soda, bottled water, peanuts and candy! Nothing inside the mini bar is less than $2.50
