There are a few true balconies on the E class ships. Some are all the way in the rear, the sunset veranda’s, and there are also what they call porthole verandahs which are really very large windows, not small portholes and there are suites with real balconies, too. this is a porthole verandah.. it has sliding glass doors and black out curtains, and you can go sit outside on the veranda without it, affecting the air conditioning in the stateroom

You choose a time on line for check-in, but as a suite guest you are not limited to that time. In Fort Lauderdale, you can enter the building whenever they open the doors. Often that is around 11. You then go through security and from there to the suite lounge where they check your documentation, photo, etc.. and when the ship is cleared they allow you to board.

Which ship? Will you be coming from a transatlantic? Several factories are in play.

Eventually, might also ask you to make dinner reservations. Your dining room, blue, doesn’t take reservations. More IT joy.

Changed how? Are you worried you won’t get your refund or what?

OK to ignore it. Just pretend your phone was off and you never got it….

Often you can walk right in but then sometimes there’s already a queue and they make you wait for your assigned time. There’s really no predicting…
