We were in cabin R145 which was the lowest floor for guests. I had read the reviews, which were not very good, and had prepared myself for the worst.

We self parked and the walk with our luggage to the port was not bad at all. We did not do faster to the fun and had to wait in line. The line wasn't the worst but everything came to a standstill while waiting to go through security and it was miserably hot. It was awfully hot while we waited and miserable. Once the lines began to move again, the remainder of the process was smooth and we got onboard in about 30 minutes.

I was pleasantly surprised with the room. It had already been refurbished and was great. It isn't the biggest room but worked for 3 in a room even when we were all in there hanging out. The bathroom doesn't have any counter space at all. There was a small shelf where some items could be put but very minimal. There are plenty of cubbies nearby that we used to store toiletries. While we did our emergency drill the cabin steward came by and left his card. We didn't see him again, he didn't ask what time we wanted the room clean etc. I had to hunt him down for more towels as the left 2 for a room with 3 women! The room was great but the steward wasn't. The room did not get clean until we went to our late dinner. We had to ask to have the room cleaned once.

This room has already been refreshed. Ample space. A little awkward to move around when set up for 3. It is comfortable enough for sleeping and you can change your own room temperature with ease.

This room is near the elevator and the storage areas the crew uses so it gets very noisy early. One night the door came open while we were all asleep, not sure how that happened.
