We parked at Park Port Canaveral and took their shuttle to the port. The price is right and they drop you off right at the luggage drop off. Check in was fast being that the new terminal was built to handle the largest ships. We purchased for the first time a lanyard with a pouch and actually found it to be a useful item.
Since we were on the ship for only three days (and to spend time with friends) we booked an interior room. 7123 was located in a very quiet area. I have never slept so soundly on a sip. While the cabins could use a renovation it met our needs for such a short trip.
We found plenty of entertainment around the ship despite the fact that we did not go to any of the shows. As usual, the Quest game show was our favorite activity. It is only for adults - no children allowed due to its risque nature.
I have actually stayed in this cabin twice. It is in a quiet location but still near the stairs and elevators. On the deck plans you'll see that Chops is located underneath this area but it is not an issue. Absolutely no noise from the deck below (or above) from this location.
Most organized port to sail from. Recommend Park Port Canaveral for parking.
