We've cruised almost 30 times on various lines and this was our 5th or 6th with RCCL. We are in our late 50"s, employed and active. I say employed because we were supposed to go on this exact cruise last year but my husband had to bail at the last minute for work. I begged my sister to go and she stepped in (turns out you can change out a guest up to 48 hrs prior to sailing). I re-booked this exact same cruise as soon as I returned home so my husband could finally go as he was really looking forward to it. So, sometimes I'll make reference to last yr's cruise with my sister. Both cruises were in January.

No worries. We drove down from central FL where we live. Parked in the garage by the port ($15/day) and walked to the terminal. We were busy prior to the cruise so did not have time to do the pre-board paperwork which resulted in a longer embarkation process for us but that was totally our fault. RCCL folks were patient, kind and professional. Debarkation was easy with slightly longer lines but we quickly breezed through immigration and a kind porter took our stuff all the way out of the terminal and close to the parking garage making for an easy get-away.
