Turns out that they were able to let us get on earlier and have lunch onboard. I was very annoyed as all the information I gave them on the internet didn't appear so we had to redo the whole registration. Finally, we walked towards the ship.
Here are more detailed pictures of our ship on another site;

I was worried that the rooms would be too small, since they're usually smaller than those in hotels. It was but it wasn't too cramped and yes, we took two rooms that connected. Very few family suites are available on all cruise ships and many accomodate four, not five. We had a nice big window, which of course was completely closed and safe for the kids. We could control the temperature but not the fan, which blew quite hard.

All ships have to hold an evacuation drill before leaving the first port. We were all required to don our lifevests and head to our designated rescue boat. The children were also required to wear a plastic wrist band the whole cruise, designating which lifeboat to where they were assigned.
Davina had to have a special tot lifevest. She looked a little overwhelmed but very cute in it. Taking pictures posed a problem as the reflectors shined back from the flash and we didn't have time nor access to outside to take pictures.
Ronnie was cute in his too.
Talia was pitching a fit over having to wear it at all so I didn't manage a photo. She probably objected more to the color and how it matched her outfit...
The girls dressed in their "matchy-matchy" dresses the first night.
