Sail Date: Nov 2008
Cabin: Balcony

To begin we flew into Ft. Lauderdale Thanksgiving day and spent a couple days with my sister and her husband before boarding on Saturday. Traveling in our party was myself, my boyfriend and my mother, and then in another cabin my sister and her husband. We arrived early in Ft. Lauderdale at about 10 am and basically we went ahead and parked in the garage. We went down to give our luggage to the porters around 10:30 and boarded the ship slightly after 12 (we were zone 3). Odd thing I found most often was for instance the first gentleman took my fun pass said he had to keep it, then the next two reps asked for it??? Also they told us to put away materials after like the 3rd person but after going up the gangway the girl on deck again asked us for the items we were told we would no longer need. They just seemed disorganized of what was required, etc.

When boarding the ship it is absolutely beautiful, pink circles and all. I truly thought the ship design was magnificent. Mostly the Spectacular Spectacular is very nicely done. We went and found our cabin this being our first balcony it was really nice. We were pretty much on our balcony during sailaway and watching the other ships go out. Also the muster drill was painless. Other areas I thought were nicely done were the El Mojito and the Piano bar were both really neat. There is a fairly good sized casino which we spent a little bit of time in.

We went to see a couple comedians (late night) and watched the Beat and Vroom. Vroom was definitely the better show of the two I am glad we did decide to go see that one.
