Additional details
We live near Ft. Lauderdale and therefore had no need for flights, transfers or hotels.
Embarkation- We registered online, so this part was super easy. Arrived about 11:45 and was walking on board by 12pm. Didn't bring our own case of water this time as I was told it is no longer allowed (brought individual Brita water bottles with built in filters instead. Filled it each morning with 2 glasses of water at the buffet) We ate lunch at the buffet and then hung out at the pool deck. Our staterooms were ready at 1pm and our luggage was delivered by 1:30. Wait until the absolute LAST MINUTE to go up to the mandatory safety muster. You're squished in "shoulder to shoulder" with your fellow cruisers for what seems like an eternity, which is very tedious for adults as well as children-- so do not go early. Luckily, unlike some other cruise lines, you do not have to take your life vest with you, so you are free to go directly to the pool deck for the bon voyage party as soon as muster is over instead of having to return your vest to your stateroom.
Staterooms- My husband and I had an outside cabin with a small window, our 3 boys had an inside cabin. Both were quite small. The only place to put empty suitcases was under the bed. Bring your own disposable wire hangers as there are not near enough in the closet. There are only 2 outlets on the outside vanity (none anywhere else) so bring an extension cord if you want more than 2 things plugged in at once. Also, as usual, there is no lighted clock so since this is a middle-of-the-night must-have for me, I brought my own. Also brought a night light for the boys. I like to write notes to myself about spa appointments, ect so I brought my own post-it notes as well. There were a few sheets of stationary in the cabin. Although our cabin attendant was very friendly, always had a cheery "hello" for us and asked about our day, she kept forgetting about the number of bath towels we need (each cabin starts out with only 2 even though our boy's cabin for example, had 3 people booked) and we had to ask for extra towels everyday.
