Traveling this trip is myself (49), Cousin (47), mother (ageless) and aunt (she’d kill me).
Pre Cruise: I arrived from Chicago the afternoon of the 18th and my cousin arrived that evening. We stayed at the Hampton Inn near the airport and the hotel was nice. Except for the fact that the air conditioning in the room didn’t work and the smoke detector was hanging on the wall by one thin wire. When we called the desk to complain about the air they sent a delightful little man up to fix it who spoke not one word of English. He did get the fan to work but the air never came on. It was a sleepless night for us both.
Embarkation: We met the moms at their hotel the next morning (my mother had given me her car the night before). The moms took the car to be parked near the port and my cousin and I took a shuttle. We arrived at the port around 10:40. The doors weren’t open yet and a line was beginning to form. The moms arrived around 11:00, right around the time they opened the doors. We quickly made our way through security and then check in. We were onboard by 11:30.
Inside cabin – R214. It’s one of the sideways cabins and had more storage space than any other cabin type I’ve had before, including a suite on NCL. By far one of my favorite cabins and I wouldn’t hesitate to book the same on again!
