Additional details
A relative drove us to the port and our bags were collected. We entered the terminal, filled out a form, and waited for our number to be called before boarding. It took about one-half hour.
We boarded the ship and had lunch in the Lido. We ate breakfast and lunch at the Lido every day except for the "Mariner" special lunch in the Rotterdam dining room one day. We liked sitting "outside". The first two days the staff was very careful about our not handling the coffee machine, etc. to prevent an outbreak of a virus. They were successful. After the first two days the restrictions were much less.
The daily Explorer was put in our cabin each evening and helped us to plan our activities for the following day. I enjoyed the Challenge Trivia each day and Erik, the cruise director, pointed out that it was just for fun, but we got quite competitive.

6171Good location near elevator in center of ship. Lots of storage space. Actually had some empty drawers and we brought way too much. We brought a power cable at the suggestion of someone. If not there would not have been enough plugs to charge our computer, cameras, etc. The only time we heard neighbors was when we were all out on the balconies watching the ship dock. It was quiet
