Additional details
We recently returned from our Western Caribbean cruise from 1/26/2014 to 2/2/2014. My wife and I are in our late 30’s and we were with a larger group of about 180 people on the ship, but had 5 couples that are close friends. We had a blast with friends, nearly perfect weather and greatly enjoyed this ship. This ship is absolutely beautiful and I can say that we will be looking at this class of ship as our first option for future cruises.
Pre-cruise Hotel
We stayed at Hyatt Regency Pier 66 for one night before the cruise. The location is perfect if you are going on a cruise and fly into Fort Lauderdale. Your impression of the hotel will vary greatly with your room location. If you get a room in the tower, then you will really like this hotel. If your room is in the garden/marina section, then you will likely have a worn room. I went for a run toward the beach in the morning. If you are a runner or walker, get up and go the morning before the cruise. It is a gorgeous view along the beach about a mile from the hotel.
Cabin Review
Our cabin was in a great location and one of the largest balconies on the ship since it is on the hump. The cabins are by far the nicest cabins we have had to date on any ship. The bathrooms have so much storage and have a spa feel to them with the décor. There is over the bed storage that you will likely need to use. The closet is not near the door to the cabin which makes it better when using the bathroom. But this does make it a little difficult to get to everything in the closet with the sliding doors instead of the normal hinged doors. I like the setup of the closet in this cabin better. The television setup is fantastic. It has on demand movies and pay movies if you would like to watch any. I managed to watch one movie throughout the entire cruise with bits and pieces at times. They also post your pictures on the television to view.
