Embarcation in Honolulu as efficient and fast. Since most passengers were continuing on from the previous leg of the cruise,  only about a quarter of the total guest complement were embacing.

In under 30  minutes I was inspecting my cabin, my suitcase was already delivered and I had met the two stewards responsible for my cabin. Unlike on all my previous verandah cabins on other ships there is a full bath. As I discovered the next morning the shower was hot with great water power and the water didn’t spray all over the floor!

I unpacked quickly, found the perfect spot for my ageLOCMe (my complete personalized  skin care) and my LumiSpa (deep cleansing/treatment  device) and its Accent (under eye and eye treatment) attachment.

Then I was off to familiarize myself with the geography of the ship and check out the dance floors. I found the Northern Lights nightclub adjacent to the BB Kings  Blues Club. Both nice areas for dance.

Later, after dinner, Enio took us all on a tour of the ship - from a dance perspective - and I realized that there were so many more potential a dance areas than I had thought of. There were several large deck areas with suitable surfaces, and also the Crows Nest observation lounge up on the tenth deck. 

In the Crows Nest I also found the perfect spot for me to write. At home I have a standing desk so that I can avoid sitting for long  periods of time . One of the counters in the Crows Nest was the perfect height and this is where I am writing from right now.
