This was our second TA. The first was on the first TA for Solstice back in 2009 to Rome and that was fantastic. This one was the reverse back to Ft. Lauderdale on Eclipse. We had a fantastic time overall and look forward to our next TA.

Embarkation: This was the smoothest embarkation I've ever had. We didn't try to get to the port too early and arrived about 1pm. Just a handful of people there at that time, Walked right on the ship, rooms were ready so we went straight to our stateroom and dropped off our carry on bags and headed for lunch.

Activities: There was so much to do on this cruise that several days there were multiple things happening at the same time and I had to choose one over the other. Usually I try to do the trivia - didn't even get to one the entire 13 days and didn't miss it. I like to knit and there was a small group of knitters who found each other about half way through the cruise and we set up a time and place to meet. Was typical of what happens with knitters - we all got to know a bit about each other and it was great to see each other in other venues - at meals, at shows, at the bar etc. It made it seem as if you were sailing with friends.
