Okay this will end up being a very long review with the opinions of the regular Joe or in my case Jane. I have read this board for the last 6 months if not 2 times a day to 15 times a day just to see what was new and see the great tips in which I got and used some. Now there will be things in this review that some may not agree with but my feeling is that each to their own.

Quick idea of who we are. There were 6 of us on this cruise 4 of us being previous cruisers. We are from a small town in Indiana and we are really not hard people to please. So here goes.

Okay for those of you thinking flying in the day before is a good idea well let me say this as first hand knowledge....Everyone should do this. We are from Indy area and of course when we left it was snowing not bad but when we got to the airport our plane was on a weather hold to fly into Tampa. Well they cleared us to go and then we sat at the terminal for 45 min to de-ice the plane. So we finally get to Tampa and we find out they have shut the FLL and MIA airports down due to bad weather. So we sat at the Tampa airport for about 2 hours (now this is around 2:00 p.m.) we also had people on this flight that were suppose to be on a ship that day. So once they finally said that they were allowing planes in to FLL and MIA we loaded the plane and guess what sat there at the gate for another hour. So we finally get in the air and get to FLL which if you don't know is only about a 40 min door to door flight from Tampa. Well what a shock to find out that we then ended up flying around FLL for 45 min to land. So what was suppose to only take 40 min. ended up being 2 1/2 hours. This wouldn't have been that bad but we were up at 4:00 a.m. to get to the airport and we were suppose to be into FLL at 1:20 p.m. which ended up being 4:30 5:00 before we got in. I won't go into all the details with the luggage because guess what we had to wait there for a very long time. Read more
