Additional details

Sail Date: Dec 2008
Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony
Traveled with children

We arrived at the Port of Miami about 11:15 AM on Monday, December 15. After waiting in line to pay for parking ($80 for four nights), finding a spot to park and walking to the entrance (not very far) and turning our luggage over to the porter (he said it all needed to be x-rayed so we had to leave it there) we finally got to the terminal itself.

Checking in was not as streamlined as it had been in August 2006 in Barcelona but we were on the ship by 12:15. The lines were not long but it seemed that everything was a little chaotic. I believe the person checking us in was "in training" so we weren't really bothered.

We got on board only to find that our room wasn't going to be available until 2:00 so we took our carry-on luggage and checked it so we could go eat lunch and have a look around the ship without lugging bags with us.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BA

Cabin 9034. This is a balcony cabin in the BC category on the Fjord Deck (deck 9). It was okay for three people but would be better suited for just two. When the sofa bed it out it cuts off access to the balcony. The stewards never closed it up. We had to climb over it to get to the balcony. We had to fold it up partway to get into the fridge (we had them empty everything out and we had our own sodas in it). The shower is basically circular and very small. Water pressure was amazing! It is in a quiet location across from some crew space.
