My MIL and FIL came to my wife and I last Spring after our last cruise and said they'd like to try a 5 day cruise. We got BIL and SIL to come along from San Diego too. From the post cruise comments, they all had a great time. And now they know what DW and I like so much.

FIL is handicapped, he gets around in a wheelchair. We've never cruised with a handicapped person, nor with 4 others. So this was new in many respects for us too.

We drove down from Wisconsin and arrived Sunday afternoon. We stayed at the Cambria Suites. It was a nice hotel, perhaps a little pricey. And the WiFi was out until Monday morning. We were on the 10am shuttle and once we arrived, we were able to get on the ship right away. Once we had made it through all the registration/SeaPass card etc areas. We had gotten all split up during this as DW and I were in a suite, MIL/FIL were handicapped and BIL/SIL were "normal". But we got together again before boarding. But then MIL/FIL were directed to the wheelchair assistance area as the gangway is at a steep angle. (I remember another reviewer who mentioned how difficult the gangway was with their health issue {knee/hip? replacement). We were asked if we wanted assistance and we took it. Perhaps this other person should have asked. If you have any mobility issues, ask for the assistance. The gangway is at a steep angle.

9350 is just past the bump out. So it is easy to spot from outside the ship. Plus, the entrance to the room, due to it's location, opens up wider as you enter. The walk in closet is to your right and the bathroom to your left.

Looking forward from the balcony is interesting as the balconies forward start to veer out, so you can't see straight forward. Every once in a while, the view was unique and slightly disorienting. (Kinda like sitting in your parked car and the car next to you takes off.)

It wasn't noisy. It was just enough down the hallway from the elevators to be quiet, but not too far away.
