My wife and I along with my sister-in-law and a friend of hers from her high school days recently returned from a 10 night cruise to the Panama Canal. We had side by side balcony cabins on the Baja deck, The cabins were very nice with plenty of storage space for all we brought onboard.
As usual, getting on and off a cruise ship are the worst part of a cruise but I must say it has steadily improved over the years. Ft. Lauderdale is a very busy. crowded and confusing Port especially if you drive yourself. But we were on the ship by 1:00 pm and our cabin was ready and our luggage was already at the room.
Our cabin steward, Carmella, was very professional and pleasant. She handled any request promptly and to our satisfaction.
