My husband, four children and I just returned from our cruise 3 days ago. I've been on 6 cruises and this is the first one I've felt strongly enough about to review.
We drove in from Dallas the day before and stayed at the Drury Inn due to so many others on this board staying there. It was WONDERFUL!!! We got an e-rate that was the cheapest I've stayed in a hotel in YEARS. Great roof-top pool, nice room and great, hot breakfast the next morning. What more could you ask for? Our two smallest kids went swimming and the view from that roof-top pool is worth it by itself!
We arrived at the port about 11:30. Many were already there and the lines were LONG. After we checked some of our luggage, we got in line and waited and waited. We had probably another 30 mins to go when this elderly gentleman that worked there tapped me on the shoulder and asked me "How many people in your party?" I told him 6. He said "Step right this way" and he opened the rope barrier and let us to an agent waiting!! I'm not sure why he picked us but I say THANK YOU!!!
Roomy enough for 4 people, great oceanview, nice and quiet
