My wife and I were on Indy exactly one month ago. I brought on two bottles of wine in my carry on and wasn't even asked to remove them from the bag. As for the check-in times, my wife and I were about 20 minutes late because our shuttle was a bit delayed, but walked right up and in, and were on the ship in less than 15 minutes total. Smoothest embarkation/disembarkation I've ever had!
