1. You can arrive at the port and enter the port before 12:00. We were told the port opens at 12:30 and not to arrive earlier. We were pleasantly surprised to get on the ship buy 11:30 where we gathered with many others to a buffet in the coconut lounge.

2. You will feel the boat moving. Don't let others make you think you won't feel the boat because it's big. You will feel it move and sway. Bring meds.

3. Bringing water on board is worth the hassle. At $5 per bottle, it's worth it to bring your own water. I would bring soda as well if I did it over again.

Cabin Review

Ocean View

No clock in room. Main lighting can be turned off from the bed (found this out the last night ;( Plenty of closet space with shelves and hangers. Shampoo and body wash provided. Beds are comfy and cozy. Windows were pretty dirty could not see out well. Binoculars were useless.
