Additional details
Wheelchair for security checkin - then wait in area for another wheelchair to board ship
On ship at 11-50am - drinks in Lobby Bar and lunch in Lido Buffet while waiting to get into cabin at 1:40pm. Our cabin keys were in a sealed envelope outside our cabin. You can use your boarding pass to obtain drinks, etc. prior to finding you keys.
Lido Buffet was average food - very long lines that move very slowly!
Cabin Review
Ocean View
Great room steard Dewa - kept ice bucket full numerous times a day - Bedding was outstanding & comfortable. Large cabin made storage of wife scooter easy but passage through standard door required removal of arm rests. Make sure you book a cabin with direct access from hallway to elevator - else it will be difficult to maneurver scooter into and through the cabin door. Cabin well equipped - had a shower/toilet/sink and another with tub and sink - great for my wife - I however only used shower. TV channels limited - no NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, etc. - just lots of news and crap.
