A little background on us we are a family of 5 our 3 ds are 12-15 and 17. this was our boys 1st cruise and they loved it. Me and my DH this was our 2nd cruise. We booked 2 cabins a balcony and a inside deck 8 verandah. Once in our Cabin we got a call asking if me and my husband wanted an upgrade to a 9A on the same floor just a few cabins down. They had 2 guys in the 9a and the bed wouldn't separate and they didn't want to sleep together so I jumped on that upgrade. we had the 8433 9a aft wraparound. Loved it . the boys had 8415 or 8417 cant remember but it was the inside and enough room for them to sleep. 2 beds with a roll away they all had to take turns on the roll away to keep it fair and no fighting.

We did fly into FLL the day before from Pittsburgh we decided to fly to Fll because it was 400.00 cheaper and we knew we would rent a car either way didn't matter if it was from Miami or Fll. The car rental from the Fll airport was painless fast and easy 75.00. We stayed the night in Miami by the Miami airport and that is where we had to return the car. they gave us all a FREE shuttle to the port. We were on the Lido by noon.

Our luggage didn't arrive in time for dinner so we had to go in our shorts. We had the 6:15 seating in the Paris table 429 for 5 so we didn't have to worry about table mates. Our wait staff was wonderful Carlos & Monika were both funny and attentive. I wish we could take them home with us. They recommended food each night and 1 time I didn't like it they felt so bad Carlos had a replacement within minutes then gave me 2 warm chocolate melting cakes. Read more
