Embarkation. Arrived 11:10 AM. Dropped luggage off, took escalator upstairs, through security, and lines to desk. Photos taken, credit card swiped and to waiting area in 15 minutes. Very organized and pleasant. Waited until noon when promptly they started calling groups to board. They boarded on two gangways so it went quickly. We were aboard by 12:15PM.
Headed for Grand Pacific dining room for quiet civilized luncheon. Met Christopher who would be my liaison for my Gluten-Free ding needs. He recommended I eat there with him in the Grand Pacific Dining Room and just let him know where else I wanted to eat during the cruise. Every night I picked my dinner selections for the next night. Christopher was a Gem himself!!
Cabin Review

Great location as it was near staircase up or down the eating venues. Too much furniture --get rid of coffee table! Loved the shower, so much hot water with great pressure. Had to use child lock on sliding door to keep it securely closed during 60+ mph winds during full gale second night. Good safe out where I could actually see keypad! Plenty of storage for cloths. Hairdryer actually worked well,
