We boarded at New York and that was very easy and painless. Arrived around 11.30am and only had about 30 minute wait before we were on board & exploring the ship.
We took the ship tour at around 1pm, led by 'Boston' Chris & that was useful to see some of the major spots & get to know one of the fabulous entertainment staff.
Can't say enough about the fabulous staff on board the ship. We were always greeted with a smile, many stopped to chat with us. We go to know 'Dazzling' Devyn, 'Boston' Chris & Nacho Libre very well & they felt like good friends by the end of the cruise.
Small bathroom, nice picture window with semi-obstructed view (in between 2 lifeboats). Convenient to elevator/stairs, across from a crew space but not noisy. Slight noise from bands in the evening at the atrium, but that normally finished by 10pm. Loved the location.
