Getting on the ship took about 30 minutes was on board by 12:05 PM. Was able to drop carry on bags in stateroom before 1:30 PM.
Cabin VA8110: OK condition-room stewards always seemed to be on top of things but just remember that they are trying not to be too intrusive. We did run into them from time to time.
Food: Lido-very good breakfasts & lunches. Something for everyone. Dining Room: Dinners-medium quality fare but with smaller portion size so you can eat each course without being too full.
Cabin VA 8110 Port/Aft: Good Storage, Bathtub, Love-seat, Desk area. Balcony right under aft pool area where the band performs. Notable noises, and cigarette smoke when on balcony. Very convenient location to a stairway to the Lido Buffet Line, and aft pool area. Case in point: took 5 minutes to run up the stairs to get either food or drink to have on the balcony, or to run up for a dip in the hot-tub.
