Cactus527 Posted March 11 Author Report Share Posted March 11 GUESS WHERE I AM??!?!?? Lyft at 9:30. Port at 10:00. Luggage drop off, express boarding to skip all the lines, and now The Key waiting area. 10:12 arrival here. The longest part was watching my bag get rescanned through the security thing.

Cactus527 Posted March 11 Author Report Share Posted March 11 10:35 and they just told us that they are going to start boarding the key momentarily. The plan was on board is to go to the muster station, make a reservation for day 3 or day 4 at Izumi, and then find some caffeine.

Cactus527 Posted March 11 Author Report Share Posted March 11 There are girls boarding that are already in their bikinis. I guess that's one way to be ready for hot tubs early.

WAAAYTOOO Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Is Freedom the one that has only a tiny little counter for sushi ? I can't remember which ship it is....but there is one that has only space for about 5 people for sushi. I really don't care for that Izumi...whichever ship it is...
