The newly remodeled terminal wasn't completely finished but much nicer then before. Boarding was a little slower due to a lot of non US citizens and more paperwork but everyone was very pleasant.

We went straight to our cabin which was a surprise as I had upgraded from an inside to outside for only $20 more. Room was very nice and luggage mat out on the bed ready for us to unpack.
