Never having been on a ship this size I expected long waits everywhere but I WAS SO WRONG.
On arriving at the port from dropping of our bags and parking the car, being a Crown and Anchor member we had priority boarding and were on the ship within 30 minutes of dropping the bags. Very efficient service from the parking to the check-in staff.
Having booked a guaranteed inside room we were allocated a Promenade room on deck 7 over looking the Dog & Badger pub. Never heard any noise from the Royal Promenade although we were never in the room when they were having the promenade parties. Our room Attendant was great never really seen him but room was always done when we came back.
