Here's my report of the ROS.
DAY 1 - 12/21 -- Arrived from STL via Charlotte on USAIR; 3 pm. Used RCI's transfer package, so we boarded the bus directly and was told our luggage would be picked up by RCI and delivered to our cabin that evening. Check in was lengthy, but not that long; there were snacks if you got hungry. There was a big line for table assignments, but we skipped that and decided to do that later.
On board 5 pm. Dropped bags off and immediately proceeded to the spa and Portofino's to make reservations. DO THIS EARLY to get the best selection of times. Proceeded to Cascades for table assignment; second seating is almost booked and the wait list is at 150. Got our table assignment and went back to cabin to relax; watch football.
