We are a married couple without any children, in our low forties. This was the 5 day cruise out of FLL, with stops at Belize and Cozumel.

We flew into FLL the day before embarkation, staying at the Embassy Suites on 17th street. Although the hotel is not new, it definitely had advantages in that it is within walking distance to restaurants, shops and grocery stores. We enjoyed the hotel swimming pool with it's plentiful lounge chairs and beautiful tropical foilage. We had no issue checking in around noon, though they claim the official check-in time is actually 3PM. We chose the cruise port package which included transfers from the airport and to the cruise pier. Once we retrieved our luggage, we called Embassy Suites for the shuttle. The shuttle arrived within 8 minutes of the phone call. We chose to eat the morning breakfast early to avoid a huge crowd, eating around 7:30 AM then showering and sitting by the pool for a while. About 10:30 we went down to the lobby to get a shuttle to the pier. Just waited about 5 or 10 minutes for the shuttle. Unfortunately, getting to the Liberty is more of a pain due to the location. The other ships in port have nicer berths than the Liberty, which is located all the way in the back. The shuttle had difficulty dropping us off in the exact location due to the huge congestion. Oasis was in port and it seemed so much more organized than the Liberty location.

We dropped our luggage off with a porter around 11:05 AM, then proceeded to the Priority Check-In line for Platinum, Emerald, Diamond and Diamond Plus members. We had absolutely no wait to check-in. We then got the routine embarkation picture taken, then proceeded to wait until around 11:35 AM when the boarding process was began. We were on the ship and sitting in the Windjammer at lunch around 11:55 AM. Rooms were closed off until 1PM, so we had to keep our carry-on luggage with us--no real issue.

2359 is an inside cabin that is in a decent location in the aft.

Quiet location. From this location, no issue to get an elevator to higher floors. Up one flight of stairs, deck three has Studio B for ice skating show; dining rooms are in the aft so convenient to get to dining rooms. Windjammer is in the aft, so this location is also good to get to Windjammer
