This was my 2nd Carnival cruise this year/ever & I loved it. I still think about the lovely meal (the salad with lemon was amazing!) I had the last night in the Cucina del Capitano & the Guy's Burgers.
I flew to FLL & stayed at the Comfort Inn by the airport which had a rate that offered a shuttle to Miami at either nine or noon so since I had bought FTTF I picked 9. The hotel was quite nice with an included breakfast down by the pool & it was very near to a McDonalds,Taco Bell with a Chipotle across the street.
Got to the port about 9:30 but didn't get on the ship until after 11:30 as there was some kind of problem.
Cabin 2217 was quite spacious since it had a single bed & sofa. It was near the bow & not too far from the elevators. I didn't hear any noises & never heard the people in the next cabin.
