A little background info: My boyfriend and I recently took a much needed mini-vacation and chose the Norwegian Sky because it fit around our work schedules. I have been on 6 past cruises. 5 with Royal Caribbean and 1 with Norwegian (before they went Freestyle). My boyfriend had never been on a cruise. We are in our late 20's early 30's.

I flew into Ft Lauderdale Thursday afternoon and took a shuttle to my hotel in Miami. We had booked the La Quinta Miami Airport East because it offered at free shuttle to and from the airport (where my bf was flying in) and a free shuttle to the port in the morning. My shuttle driver and a business passenger started laughing when I told them where I was staying. Very rough, rundown area with nothing around. I did not leave the room and felt much better once my boyfriend arrived. We boarded the 11am shuttle in the morning with other guests and headed to the port.

We arrived at the port and check-in was very smooth. We got on the ship around 12:15 and immediately went to the pool deck (the sun was shining!). We were smart and knew we would not have our bags until later, so I put our bathing suits and sunscreen in my carry-on bag. We overheard lots of people remarking that they wished they had done the same thing. We enjoyed frozen drinks before checking into our cabin at 1:00. I was surprised at how big our cabin was. We were on the 9th deck and had a huge window. Not too much storage, but enough. I loved our cabins location. It was perfect. We then explored the ship and relaxed in the hot tub. Our luggage was in the room by 4:00 pm.
