We are a family of four two kids age 17 and 19, this was our 6th cruise. Joining us on the cruise was my brothers family, also a family of four with kids age 17 and 23.
We got to the port at 11am. There was almost no waiting in line, in 15 minutes we were all checked in and they had started boarding. We were zone 6 and were on the ship by 1130. We went up to the Lido deck to eat, and were in our rooms by 1230. We didn't get the FTTF.
We wanted to switch rooms around, my kids a boy and a girl, and my brothers kids a boy and a girl switched so that the boys were with the boys and the girls together. It was very easy to do, there was once again almost no line at the Pursers desk and it was taken care of very quickly.
The cabin was a great cabin, lots more storage that we would have used. The window was nice and big, just wish it was cleaner, but I'm sure that is hard to do at sea with the water splashing all the time. The bathroom and shower were just fine too
