On the morning of April 23rd, we woke up, casually packed our bags and with our friends in tow, went down to the hotel restaurant for a breakfast as we looked out the windows at our ship right across the street! It was great not to have to rush to get a cab or transfers, and I'd like to do this again if I could.. going out a day early.
At around 11am, we checked out of our rooms, and walked across the street and were on the ship in under 15 minutes. Once onboard, we went to check out our dining room table which was great, a 10 person table up against one of the windows on the lower deck of the dining room.

Next, we went to check out the Africa-themed Solarium (quiet area with pool and hot tub for adults). As you can see from the pictures, it's gorgeous!
The chairs aren't plastic with straps across them, they're wood, with nice padded cloth tops. The place just made my jaw drop at how gorgeous it was.
The hot tub was very inviting, but we had more to see... and it was getting after noon now, so we headed up to the "Windjammer" restaurant on the 11th floor, rear of the ship for lunch.
Lunch was very good as usual, and when finished we finally got a look at our rooms. Now, keep in mind this was our first ever balcony room, so we didn't know what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised when our balcony was oversized due to the deck we were on (our friends had a smaller balcony than us as they were three decks above us).
Well, enough for right now.. more coming up soon including the Sail-Away from San Diego!
