Parking was $84 self park and around $100 for valet. I wish we had just paid the difference and used valet. The vacation starts as soon as you enter the terminal.
Embarking was faster than we expected. We left hotel at 11 and were having lunch at 12:30 on Lido deck. About the time we finished lunch we left for the room and were allowed to enter. Our luggage arrived about the same time. The couple we were traveling with had to wait until about 5pm to get their luggage.
Room: we had three balcony rooms 5156-5158-5160. We were able to open the balcony dividers and had one large balcony and the kids could go from room to room. We had to request this from the purser and it was done the next morning. They will not do this the first night.
