The day of boarding we got a text telling us to be there at 3:00 pm to board to ease the boarding lines they had groups coming at certain times. Our hotel gave us no choice but to transport us there by 11:00. Surprisingly we just walked on thru with no wait at all! We arrived on the ship not really knowing where to go or what to do but figured it out quickly. I immediately went to guest services to apply a credit card to my sea pass account. That was done with ease. They then told us that our room wouldnt be ready until 1:30. Our group of 4 decided to explore the ship. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!

We were able to get into our room early which was exciting for all of us! The room was the size of a hotel room, we had a queen bed i believe and a pull out sofa. A beautiful balcony with table and chairs. It had a small bathroom but it had a bath tub and shower combo which was awesome. Plenty of storage everywhere. A small fridge built in to dresser, a safe (which came in handy) a coffee pot, a large closet and plenty of room. It does NOTt have alot of outlets for our phones, luckily my son had bought a power strip with him just in case.

The first evening we pretty much stayed on deck 9, pool side and people watched and had the drink of the day. (you get to keep the glasses with every drink of the day) We had a waiter come to our table outside and was very attentive with making sure we had everything we needed. We explored later that night. My son and his girlfriend did the "class" on what to expect in Key West. Dinner was at the WindJammer. Read more
