Embarkation:
We took a taxi from the airport and were fairly early because we had a very early flight. Police were directing traffic for the taxi drop off. Stevedores were available, but it was difficult to tell that that was who they were. (Before, at other terminals) our luggage had been sweep away from us; both has its benefits.) We went to the door of the terminal and asked the security where to take luggage. We could carry it on or check it with the stevedores. The stevedores were good; they let us know that they were separate from the cruise line, wrote their name on our edocs, and told us how the luggage would move and be delivered. We determined later on the ship that one can check luggage at the casino; we were happy using the stevedores to haul it around less.
We quickly got through security (it was a little after 11am now). We were directed to the shortest Latitudes line and handed a number. Check in was quick. They had cookies, water, juice, and coffee (maybe) in the waiting area. We did not sit for long and did not have time to finish our cookie before our number was called. Group 1 was big and was more a horde of people vs. a line, but it moved quickly. We were on the ship by 11:30am. We explored the ship and then went to lunch in Windows. The ribs are no longer on the lunch menu; Windows had the same lunch menu every day.
Quiet but small. Shower was roomy. Room stewards were great!
