Embarkation was great. We got to the port just before noon and we were on the ship within 40 minutes. We had lunch in the MDR and it was fine. Took a quick walk around the ship and found it to be in good condition. Our room was ready within the hour. We always give our room the once over just to make sure everything was the way we wanted it. Found someone's hat and the mini bar had a bag of half eaten gummy bears -- otherwise all was good.
