Embarkation

Arrived at the port at 11:50am from Hobby airport on a Princess transfer bus.(took about 40min.)We did not collect our checked bags from under the bus-the bus driver and port "people" took care of this and it appeared like magic in our stateroom. We had a balcony stateroom on Caribe deck port side in the 600's. Security is first- our wine was in carry on-port staff did not check or open our bag. 12:10pm we were done with security.(note the line for suite,elite, & platinum merges with the crew line for security;not a good system) Next was a separate line for suite,elite, & platinum to check in. This was very fast as not many in line. General line was very long. Just as we finished check in(12:15pm) the announcement came over the loudspeaker that embarkation was closed as they were having problems with the gangway. At 12:55pm the boarding "garage door" was opened and Elite first followed by Platinum started boarding again through the crew entrance as the gangway on deck 7 was still not working properly. We skipped the embarkation photo and headed straight to cabin to drop off carry ons and were in the Coral Dining Room by 1:20pm(they close at 1:30) had a great lunch and met our fellow CC members- Phyljim.(3rd most traveled passengers with 567 days) who were dining at the table next to us.

Cabin Review

The location of our room was great. near the aft elevators but not far from the mid elevators. Heard no loud noises from any staff areas.
