We are in our late 40's and this was our sixth cruise!
Embarkation was the smoothest I have been through. We arrived at the port by cab approximately 1130. At 1245 we were in our cabin! I felt sorry for travelers driving. Appeared to be a lot of driver confusion how and where to park. Cab is the way to go. Our suitcases were in our rooms by 4 PM.
Our cabin steward (Staney) introduced himself to us right away. Our room was very clean and whenever we requested anything it was done right away. Almost every night we found "towel creatures" in our cabin.
