According to the lady at the registration counter, people actually went on board at 11:30. Several stewards were prsent in the lobby area directing everyone to the Lido deck for lunch. You could check you carry-ons at that point. The announcement that our cabins were ready came at about 1:10 pm. Contrary to other posts, there was no way you could get to your cabin earlier to drop off your carry-ons since the fire doors were closed on each deck that led to passenger cabins.We had a relaxed lunch after boarding and toured the public areas. Then we went on the "tennis court" and batted some tennis balls around in between visits to the pool bar for a few cold beers. It didn't seem that long until we were able to get into our cabins.The regular luggage arrived at about 3:00 in plenty of time to unpack before the muster drill and sailaway.ColDoc
