I had done the Carnival Breeze the previous week so stayed at Hyatt Place FLL Convention Centre the night between cruises. It was a busy hotel with a counter where you could buy food & drinks, an included breakfast, free wifi, spacious room, friendly staff & laundry facilites. I'd stay there again.
I got the noon shuttle to the port ($7 )& was onboard eating my Park Cafe roast beef sandwich by 1.
I went to my balcony cabin 11688, spent some time then went to see my dining room assignment.
I chose this cabin for it's proximity to the elevators & stairs. The cabin was lovely & I heard no noises at all.
