Embarkation was a breeze. Since we were in a Junior Suite, we were directed to the priority boarding area where we encountered no lines whatsoever. From the time we entered the terminal until we were on board ship was maybe 15-20 minutes.
Our stateroom was a Junior Suite on deck 9 on the forward part of the hump. Our luggage was sitting outside the door by the time the rooms were available at 1:30 - that was the earliest I've ever had them delivered. Loved the walk-in closet and the view on the balcony was great (as long as you wanted to look forward - couldn't see anything aft).
We dined in the Windjammer and Johnny Rockets for most breakfast and lunch. Food and service were both very good. Dinner in the MDR was also very good, but the service seemed a bit on the slow side compared to past cruises. Our only disappointment was Portofino's - service was outstanding, but the food was just OK - didn't live up to the standard we have experienced in Portofino's on other ships. We also used room service for breakfast one morning - food was delivered on time, order was accurate, and the temperature was still hot.
