Sail Date: Oct 2014
Cabin: Mini-Suite with Balcony

Departed New York on October 12 2014. Took 2.5 hours from entering Pier 88 in Manhattan until I was able to sign in. Awful long line, very slow moving. All I "signed in" was to swipe my credit card. With 4000 people boarding at 12 noon, we finally cleared the credit card swipe at 2:30 pm. Hotel director said this was "due to the FBI" which is an outright falsehood.

First stop was Port Canaveral. Boat arrived on time at 12 noon, but no one was allowed off the ship until 12:45 pm. Why? Don't know. This left about 2.5 hours time at Kennedy Space Center, which is not enough time. Hotel assistant director said this was "excellent performance".

We had a mini suite on deck 13. This has a micro balcony, not large enough to stretch out your legs even with just one person on the balcony. From 7 pm until 11 pm every day, this metal box sounded like bing inside a dryer, with every foot fall anywhere (it seemed) on the ship echoing in the cabin.WE asked staff to see if they can reduce the noise.. they replied that they cannot.
