We have just stepped off our 10 day cruise to the Southern Caribbean out of Fort Lauderdale. We had overnighted at the Kira Mar near the waterfront leaving us a very short taxi ride to the port.
Embarkation: Went quickly when we arrived at 11 am.
Background: We are over ten cruises now and while our favourite is Celebrity, Royal Caribbean is not terribly far behind. This cruise was suggested by a friend. By the time we sailed there were 10 of us on board. We are coming from a long way away so we added two weeks in Orlando before the cruise and took the Amtrak down the night before.
This Cabin is just fine for us. We like being down below. It is fairly quiet away from engine noise. Away from the elevators. Only a couple times did we notice footsteps from above or laughter from the room next to us. We did not hear the anchor drop. We had no problems with plumbing or thing needing repair. The couch was comfy for it's style. The TV needs replacing. It is time for flat screen and access to our account. There is sufficient storage, but we travel light so I know for some this would not be enough.
