We just returned from the 7-night Eastern Caribbean cruise.

Beginning in Miami - we grabbed a taxi for $21.00 to take us to the pier, we arrived at 10:00AM. The Embarkation staff seemed a little unorganized. The terminal is small and stuffy and there is a lot of people wandering around with no clue what line to get in. We proceeded to the security screening and on to the desk to check in. We then went upstairs to pick up our "Sail and Sign" cards and wait... This too was a little chaotic; the port in Tampa is much more organized than this one in Miami.

Once onboard the ship, we were in awe at the size, it's a huge ship. We found our room and it was great!!! Lots and lots of storage space, 3 closets and lots of drawer space. Yes, there is a basket of goodies in the bathroom, razors, shampoo, Tums, and Tylenol. There was shampoo and shower gel in the shower and the water is HOT!!! The balcony was great; we are definitely going to miss sleeping to the sound of the ocean waves. The balcony is well worth the extra $100.00. Read more
