This was my wife and I's 5th cruise. 2nd royal and 3 on Norweign. This was the first cruise that we brought our kids, 9, 12, 14. We also traveled with friends that had their kids 11, 13.
We flew in the day before and stayed by the airport. Courtyard. Good hotel and location, walked to the Cityscape to eat.
Embarkation: took an Uber at 10:30. We unloaded at 11am and was on the ship by 11:10. I couldn't believe it. We had all of our travel documents done ahead of time, but what a breeze.
We had 2 adults and 3 kids in here. We all slept very comfortably. Hardly in our room, but it met our needs and fit all of our clothes.
