Additional details
We drove to Long Beach from northern California on Sunday morning & checked in to Hotel Maya for the night. Loved the hotel & the view of Long Beach harbor. Left our car there for the next 5 days & took the hotel shuttle to the cruise terminal. All quick & easy; we would do this part again.
We arrived at the cruise terminal at about 12:15, checked one bag, did self assist for the small one. Line looked a bit long once inside, but moved rather quickly. We did all the pre-stuff on-line so just had to show our credit card & we were on our way. Crossing the gang way was a nightmare!! It was raining pretty hard & the wind was blowing the rain sideways. Most of the folks in front of us were elderly & the rain & wind seemed to slow them down, which made being behind them dreadful. By the time we reached the ship our legs & feet were completely soaked. Thank goodness we wore waterproof jackets, that saved our top half.
The very first thing that greeted us at this point was the port-o-potty smell-WHEW!
Cabin Review
Interior
Good placement on the ship, almost dead center & low. Lessens the motion of the ship. No noise above, below or beside - very quiet. Easy to get to from either end of the ship. Plenty of storage space-2 closets, 4 drawers, under bed storage is large. Room safe nice size, held our video camera, wallets, cell phones & my jewelry case. Only 2 plugs. One on dresser top, almost flush to the top so you can' plug in a blow dryer or anything with the bigger plugs. Bathroom will only accept non polarized plugs like electric toothbrush or electric razor. Bring a power strip.
