Sail Date: Dec 2008
Cabin: Deluxe Ocean-View Verandah Stateroom

Embarkation: The Fort Lauderdale terminal was small and because of other ships in port and the shared area, close in parking was impossible to find. The lines moved quickly and the check in process was painless. Unfortunately if you arrive before 1330h (1:30 pm) you will not have access to your stateroom and will be directed to the Lido deck/buffet. With the entire ship on the Lido, tables were impossible to find. Really a ZOO and needs to be fixed.

The Room an Outside Veranda (deck 4) - TINY is the word. Lots of closet space. Toward the end of voyage last day, some sewage smell in the toilet.

Restaurants and Service - I must say the service on this trip was one of the best we have seen. The Lido restaurant in particular was well managed and service was outstanding there and in the main dining hall. The Sommelier's knew their stuff and of course pushed their product well (they don't share the $11/day gratuity but make their money on the surcharges)
