Stayed at Courtyard Isla Verde the night before. Enjoyed breakfast on the patio on the beach. Then spent an hour or so on the beach, cleaned up and went to the pier around 1:30pm. We had the Faster to the Fun, so we got on quickly. I wish I had known that there was a special check in for luggage, but we used a porter.
Grabbed lunch and then went back off. Went to the CVS we had heard about nearby, and bought a case of water and snacks. This was a good purchase!
Back to the ship, and time to explore.
Single couch instead of an upper berth for our daughter. She liked that a lot better.Bathroom was a nice size. Room to hold toiletries, etc in there for the week. Only complaint was there was a lot of outside noise. Not sure what it was, something mechanical, not people noise.
