Thanksgiving 2005 We were part of a group of about 25 from Denver. My wife and I are 47 and our kids are 19, 16, 13. The rest of our group were similar in age. We travel every Thanksgiving on a cruise. We flew into FLL and rented a motor coach to take us to Miami the night before the cruise. We stayed at the Ramada Inn downtown for $50 - just ok but inexpensive and convenient. The rooms there were clean so I won't complain. Years previously we stayed at the Hyatt for the same price. We took cabs to the pier and got there at 11:30. We were through and on board by noonish. We may have gotten there too early because we ended up waiting longer for the ship to open then we did to get checked in.

Cabin: Our cabin was the usual - adequate space and storage and clean. This was our 3rd Thanksgiving in a row on RCCL so we have come to expect things a certain way - no disappointments here. We actually had the same cabin # as we did in 2004 on the Navigator.

Food: Food was good but we thought it was better on the Navigator. Same set up of course but just better for some reason. Service was great - we had a super team in the dining room. We all enjoyed the snacks and sandwiches in the Cafe Promenade - we spend a lot of time there. We usually make that our meeting place before leaving the ship. Read more
