I just returned home from the 12/5 - 12/10 Enchantment cruise!! I was a first timer and my g/f's second cruise (first was on carnival) We had a Junior Suite 7666 on the Aft corner.

Getting on the ship was a breeze - we took a Taxi from Lauderdale airport for about $10 and 10 minutes drive time. We too ignored our official time to embark (2:00pm) and arrived around 11:45am. Having a JS and filling out the online forms is an advantage we avoided a line of 100-200 people, couldn't tell because the line disappeared around a corner. An attendant came around and asked if anyone had JS - if you did you stepped out of line and went upstairs to get your seapass card and give your credit card for onboard charges. We were on the ship by 12:15.

The Windjammer was packed for the first meal and I was freaked out by the number of people wondering around bumping you, etc.. thankfully that subsided as people learned the routine.
