We drove to Fort Lauderdale and stayed at the Hyatt 17th St. (third time) they allow you to leave your car free all week. Nice large clean rooms, good breakfast. We took a taxi four of us 10.00. Hotel shuttle is available 7.00 each.
Arrived at the port 11am and waited to board much to long. Our room 7352 port side deck 7 was ready at 1pm.Dated but clean couch was sad looking and the ship really need to be refurbished. Puto our cabin steward always had the room clean and ice bucket full.
Mike the cruise director was the best full of energy and always present as was Stephanie his assistant. They really make it the fun ship. Have not seen that much excitement since our 1st cruise back in 1993 NCL. Truly enjoyed Gustav in the piano bar, a fun time. The band #tag sixapple had an awesome guitar player Fernando he was a Wow factor. Food was very good our waiter Suresh was very good had our names on the 1st day. Didn't complain when we ordered several dishes. The molten chocolate was over the top and on the menu every night. Comfort food for those who prefer that. Guys Burgers kept us away from the buffet, I should of gone to it more often. Burritos were excellent. Ice cream cone machine was always full and ready.
