Embarkation was relatively painless. I got to the terminal kind of late - around 3 pm, and was one of the last to get aboard. No waiting in lines for me! I cruised alone, so keep that in mind as you read the review.
First, the cabin. I was excited, since I booked a 4A guarantee and ended up with a 6A. The outside cabins are much roomier than the inside cabins, with a couch area and plenty of room in the closets. The bed was remarkably comfortable.
The lifeboat drill was fairly quick, and I was happy because it ended with enough time left to watch the ship set sail - something that was a problem on my other cruises.
