We drove for two days down from Toronto. The first hotel does not matter because I doubt most of you would stay there. The second hotel (Hampton Inn, Coco beach) was a 15 minute ride away from the port. It had a nice lobby but the rooms were disappointing. The sheets on the bed were stained and the mattress on the pull out was stained also. They refunded us though so can't complain. The embarkation was really smooth. We had priority because we were in a suite. It took less then 15 minutes to get on the ship.
We noticed immediately the low ceilings. We are not even that tall.
Our cabin was unbelievable! U108 GS was so nice! The room was very large, we had a mini fridge, we had a massive balcony! If you can afford it do the suite. We only go on cruises once every 3-4 years so we splurged. Our steward IDA was great.
+Large balcony
+Much more private then regular balcony
+Real walls in between balconies not those crummy dividers
+Great beds
+Nice TV
+I liked how the ship had 2 live cameras, front and pool deck
-When standing in the bathtub your head almost hits the ceiling.
-Granite was chipped, paint on balcony door handle, sloppy paint job on window
