I combined my trip to visit my family for Thanksgiving with a 7 day cruise leaving out of San Pedro, CA the Sunday after the holiday. Had my sister drop me off at the pier to avoid paying the significant cost for parking at the pier.
Embarkation was a breeze. Only problem was I wanted to verify my On-board Credit received from my Travel Agent, but they said they couldn't do that until the second day of the cruise, which doesn't really allow for fixing a problem if it happens. Not to worry, because it was there, but would've been nice to have a system for verifying things like OBC and pre-paid gratuities online.
Got right into my room which was set up with the beds together which is how I wanted it. My stateroom attendant introduced himself right away and was super attentive through the cruise. I asked him if taking care of a solo was easier than two people and he said it depends on the people. Some solos can trash a room daily, where some whole family suites would be so clean you wouldn't know people were staying there.
Nicely appointed cabin. Bathroom is a bit tiny. Close to elevator but no elevator noise that I could ever hear.
