Sail Date: Aug 2008
Cabin: Superior Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony
Traveled with children

First off, we are a family of 4 along with 3 other families with kids. It was myself and hubby(mid 30's), our friends same ages and all of our kids ranging from 3 1/2 -9. We flew into MCO on Air Tran and used Tiffany Towncars van service back and forth. I highly recommend them and I have used them many times in the past. We stayed at Double tree cocoa Beach and loved it. We had a large oceanview room and enjoyed the private beach access and nice pool area. Great service poolside for food and drink.The hotel has a Publix across the street for last minute items. Not too many dining choices within walking distance with kids.

Woke up early Sun and front desk arranged shuttle service for $4 per person . We were at port and went thru port check in and on ship within 25 minutes. RCCL really has it together!Organized chaos!

Room wasn't ready at 1140, of course, so we went and explored the massive ship-WOW! Massive! Beautiful and elegant.Had lunch at Windjammer-really crowded. Made ressies at Chops, checked out Adventure Ocean, then had a few drinks at pool.
