The "daily schedule" of embarkation day begins at 11:00 AM, but you can't get to your stateroom until 1:00ish. Bars open at 11:00 and food service begins at 12:00. The pools are open etc.
They have a great Art Walk featuring the many art works on the ship. There is a paper guide and IPod for use for free at guest services which talks about each work of art. You have 4 hours to use the IPod.
Concierge class gives you ice 4 times a day. There is also fresh fruit and fresh flowers in the cabin and bathroom. I did not experience any superior check in, embarkation or debarkation, but that does not mean it doesn't exist.
