Additional details
We did cruise and travel package with a local tour company.They provided overnight transportation to Jacksonville. After stopping in Georgia for breakfast, we preceded on Jacksonville.
Weather: a bit chilly!! We thought once we got closer to the Bahamas,the weather would improve--wrong!! This was the coldest cruise I have experienced in a tropical climate--thanks in part to Hurricane Sandy. Very windy and chilly became the norm for the majority of the cruise.
Lines were long, but moving in the cruise terminal. One of their camera's was down, which slowed the process. We were on board the ship by 1pm. We went by our cabins (which were ready) to drop off our carry luggage. Other luggage did not arrive to later on that afternoon.
Cabin Review
Ocean View
We had an oceanview cabin on the empress deck. Cabin was close to everything. The location was a bit noisy at times. They had a piano player or a singer to entertain patrons at the bar. Guest services was across from the bar. The cabin was very clean. plenty of storage space. found only one outlet to charge phone-so bring you a power strip if you need muliple outlets. Beds and pillows were soooo comfortable. Good, hot, water pressure in shower.
