Embarkation: We flew into Miami the night before we set sail and stayed at LaQuinta. It was reasonably priced and was clean. The taxi to the cruise terminal was $40. We arrived at the terminal around noon. Attendants took our luggage and we headed in to board the ship. It took about fifteen minutes to wait in line and present our travel documents. As we boarded the ship our photo was taken. We were able to purchase it later in the photo gallery on the third deck. When walked on to the ship there was a table where you could purchase a Coke pass. It was $27.95 for unlimited Coke refills throughout the cruise. We purchased one of these for my husband, but it was not really worth the money as he only had it filled four or five times.

Room: My husband and I had an inside room. It was VERY small. Hardly room to turn around. But, the bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of storage space. There was a safe in the room that came in very handy. My parents had an outside room. It was quite a bit roomier and had a small sofa.

Food: Windjammer had a great selection and the food was very good. I recommend the chili cheese fries at Johnny Rockets. They were fabulous! Read more
