Check in: We arrived at the terminal around 11:30. By 12:30 we were through security and check in and on the ship. We had to make a stop at the shore excursion desk and then just hung out on the Lido deck until our room was ready at 1:30.
Room:
We opted for an extended balcony room on deck 8. The room has plenty of space. There are 3 closets and even the largest suitcase will store under the bed. The beds are firm and extremely comfortable. The bathroom is roomier than some other ships that we've been on. The balcony is great. There's 2 lounge chairs and a table on the balcony.
Our cabin was spacious. I love the beds. They are firm and even the largest suitcase will fit underneath. The closet space is more than ample.
