EMBARKATION:
We took a taxi from LAX to the pier. It was $55-60 and took about 30 minutes in light traffic. We arrived at the pier just before 11 am. Check-in was very quick and smooth, and we got to the waiting area in a few minutes. We later heard that out of 2600 passengers on board there were roughly 750 Elites and nearly 1000 Platinum. They just started to board after we got to the waiting area, and being Platinum, we had to wait for the Elites and suite passengers to be boarded. Overall, we probably had to wait about 30 minutes.
CABIN:
Very convenient location, near buffet, Terrace Pool, and laundromat. Very quiet.
