Sail Date: Apr 2012

I truly believe a vacation is what you make of it. We flew into Miami on April 1st-the night before the cruise and stayed at Sofitel Miami. The hotel was very nice and served its purpose-we slept! At 11:30 the next morning our shuttle was there to pick us up to take us to the ship. Embarkation was a breeze-maybe 20 minutes from arrival at port to getting on the ship. At first I felt herded towards certain areas-but realized later that the staff wanted to make sure you were going where you needed to be to have lunch and get ready for sail away. Lunch in the buffet was pretty good and they were setting up for a BBQ for dinner that night.

Muester drill was at 4:30-didn't really do a lot. we stood in lines and watched a guy put on his life vest. After this was done, my DH and I grabbed a couple beverages and decided on a private sail away party on our balcony cabin. We met our cabin steward-Christopher-he was great and was always there when we needed anything. He knew us by name and spoke to us whenever and wherever he saw us.

For dinner, we chose to skip the BBQ and went to Crossings dining room-MDR Aft where it was lobster for dinner. Our waiter recommended several starters and his selections were amazing. Our favorite part was the desserts-the key-lime pie is to die for!

Cabin Review

Plenty of storage space in our cabin for 2 people, plenty of hangers and drawer space. Great views, not too noisy, close to elevators but we didn't hear too much. Right under the buffet but didn't hear chairs or footsteps overhead. Once in a while you could hear someone running in the hallway. Bathroom was a little small, but adequate for 2 people.
