Pre-Cruise:
As it was our first time in Fort Lauderdale we had decided on a 5-night pre-cruise stay and had already booked into the Bahia Mar (Hilton Doubletree) Resort. We were impressed with Fort Lauderdale and able to do everything that we'd planned on doing within our time scale. You can read our hotel and resort review on Tripadvisor.
Embarkation:
Balcony:
rusty balcony; door rusty (outside). Plus point, plenty of privacy.
breakfast table pitted and scarred and well overdue for replacement
rattan cane furniture generally good but beginning to unravel on legs. stuffing coming out of split cushion
Cabin:
bit on the dull side (light absorbing beige colour used on walls); PLENTY of space and storage space - excellent in this regard; inner vestibule curtained off, so no light or noise from outside and if you went to the bathroom overnight, you could use the light without disturbing your partner. Carpet was badly stained in parts. Comfy beds. Plenty of work surfaces and desk space. Excellent in terms of space and size.
