We had an inside cabin last week on discovery (2091) and it was lovely. Quiet (slight vibrations from the ship but nothing disruptive!!) Nice and clean and cosy for a small family. Can't fault it. Put view from the bridge on tv at night for light and it was just enough :)

we stayed at the Premier inn at port of tyne the night before, took a walk down to see the ship in the morning and to get an idea of where to go. When it came to checking in we were told to take our cases to the red brick building to the left of the passenger terminal to drop them off and get our envelope with cabin cards, luggage labels etc with cabin numbers on. We went back to the terminal and were given a number to check in, numbers were called forward in batches of 30 or so. We used this time to fill in the slip that came in the envelope asking how were were disembarking (this helps them to sort coloured labels for sorting luggage at the end of the cruise!!) and were called forward around 15 mins later. Check in complete and form handed in we went through a security area and were taken to a shuttle bus to board the ship. we were on board just after 12.30 and cases were at the cabin around 3pm. (we went for a walk around the ship and went back to the cabin) very straight forward and simple. disembarking was straight forward as well. Envelope arrived in cabin 2 days before we left with a list of disembarkation times depending on forward travel. We were getting the shuttle to the train station so we had orange labels. first shuttle was at 7.45am and was first disembarkation. They called it over the tannoy and we left the ship, went to the red brick building collected our cases and shuttle buses were located on the other side. simple and straight forward, not sure how later departures were.
