Additional details
We visited Orlando Disney parks before the cruise. We have always found them to be clean and entertaining, and pricy. The higher cost is worth it to me to enter a park/ship that is clean, family friendly and well maintained, keeps the riff-raff out too.
The entry into Port Canaveral was easy and seamless. We were through security ~ 1pm < 10 mins. The massive room we entered was empty and had a model of the ship at the far end. I expected more people. We took photos of the model ship with no one around it. While husband returned rental car, I checked in myself and child through the quick moving line and was told that upon return, our luggage would be handled 100% and I wouldn't see it again until my return to home airport on the luggage claim. Luggage was smooth for us TWO (should have been 3). Luggage was not smooth for my husband. He checked-in and his return flight was verified. But when returned home, husband's luggage was not accounted for and his return was not anticipated. I had baggage tags and boarding passes for airline and didn't handle my bags. My husband - no luggage tags, no boarding passes, and he had to handle his own bags off the ship as well as through the airport and through airport long check-in line and through customs by himself. He set up this entire trip, booked everything, paid for it and reserved the transfers and baggage handling weeks in advance. Why was he not included? No idea but I was at the computer with him when this was all scheduled. He was mad.
On the ship, we booked 9th floor cabin w/ veranda & bunk bed. It seemed like a good deal to add the veranda because it only increased the price of the cabin by $50. The cabin was big and I liked the bathroom arrangement. One bathroom had a sink, mirror, electrical outlet & shower. Other bathroom had sink, toilet, mirror but no electrical outlet. Both bathrooms had shelving to put our stuff in- keep it off counter. There were plenty of cabin cubbies & drawers to put our stuff along with the big closet and hooks on the walls (2 laundry lines inside shower too). Our cabin was kept very clean. Housekeeping did a great job for us and our teen. The room darkening curtains were appreciated.

We came in after midnight to find the bunk bed was not set up for our teen. So I had to find someone to open the bed and set it up. Not what I was looking forward to at 1am. She could have slept on that couch except she was too tall for it and neither her head nor feet could fit. We had to have the bed pulled out of the ceiling and set up. They knew we were a party of 3 so why would they think we'd all sleep in the Queen sized bed together?
