Pre-booking saved a few dollars, and we did the 3 nt package. Right outside the entrance, we met a crew member who helped us schedule our dates and times for our pre-booked Specialty restaurant package.
We took our drinks and went directly to Oceanview for some lunch. Just a great guy with a nonstop smile and always a warm greeting each time. First stop pool bar, and Jerome made us our first cocktails. We walked the long runways to board, and were greeted and informed that we could remove our masks if we so desired. They informed us that our room keys would be in an envelope on the door to your room. We were then asked to sit in a waiting area until somewhere between 11:30-12, before they allowed groups of 25 or so to enter in an orderly fashion. Each persons paperwork, vaccination reports etc, were checked. Checkin was very thorough, health protocols were followed.
Got to the terminal by cab, and by 11am we were allowed to enter to get checked in. Flew into Ft L from Long Island, the morning of cruise.
