Embarkation was incredibly smooth. We showed up a little before 4, so I think we missed the crowd. No line much more to say about that.

Cabin We had an inside cabin on 5. Yes, it was small, but we knew that going into it. Despite hearing the contrary from others, we were actually very impressed with the storage in the bathroom. I've stayed in many hotel rooms and felt like there was no place to put your things. There were two shelves below the sink, a counter that wrapped around to the back wall of the room, and three small self-suspended glass shelves above for additional items. There was also adequate storage for our clothing. Three drawers and several open shelves. The closet was also well stocked with hangers, but we did bring a few of our own along which helped out. We unpacked all of our clothes and the suitcases were stowed away under the bed for the rest of the trip. Please keep in mind that there were only two of us in the room; I could not imagine having fit another person and their things in the room. One negative was that only one person could really move around the main part of the room at once. I also think they need more lighting around the closet and accompanied storage areas.

Our room stewards were great! Everything was very clean each day. They always had smiles on their faces and were so friendly. Even if they were at the end of the hallway they'd smile, waive, and tell us to have a great day. I was extremely impressed with their positive attitudes and really set the mood for our cruise.
