Arrived at Fort Lauderdale, FL on Sat Oct 26. Spent night at Crowne Plaza Airport and Cruise Port Hotel. Great night stay and very quiet hotel even though it is near major intersection near the Port Everglades. Hotel offers a reasonable priced shuttle service to the port.
Got to Port Everglades at about 11:30 am, check in and boarding done by 12:15 and then right onto ship. Ate at the Lido buffet and then was at our room by about 1:30. Bags were there by about 3:00 pm and everything went smoothly. Left port later than what was listed on Itinerary but other that that was a good day to start vacation.

Room was odd shape on corner of ship and ocean view. Stateroom was great, the only drawback was that is was too close to propellers and when entering or leaving ports you felt a lot of vibrations from the propellers changing directions and trying to stop the ship or what ever maneuvers they were trying to do.
