Flew to LA with 2 night pre-cruise stay in Long Beach arranged execucar transfers to hotel, but were dropped at wrong hotel.
Took taxi from hotel to pier and although we arrived at time stated we waited for an hour to embark ship. Never encountered this delay before. Went straight to cabin, droppped off bag then went for a drink & wander around. We had arranged an informal meet & greet at sail away at calypso bar, so missed sailaway.
We had anytime dining this is the first cruise where we didn't have to queue for tables. Dining room was quite quiet at 8pm definitely a first.
