My fiancé and I are in our mid 20's and I decided to buy this cruise for a Christmas present, I saw the deal on groupon and couldn't resist the price, but also had to pay $64 each for gov. taxes and another $12 a day for additional charge which wasnt shown in the price but still a great price for a cruise. We work Tuesday-Saturdays so the cruise that best suited us was sunday-tuesday.

We arrived in West Palm Beach Airport and decided it would be cheaper to uber over to the port rather then get a taxi. The uber from the airport to the cruise port was $19 compaired to $45 the taxi had offered us. We got to the port around 2 pm and went to the check in counter with no waiting line. As we gave them our reservation number the man at the counter had noticed the cruise date I had made on the phone was for the week prior to this date! I instantly panicked and he told me it would be okay and gave me a number to call and to step aside. The women on the phone was extremely nice and told me they have refunded my $128 from the gov. fees and I would just need to repay for them and an additional $100 for the both of us. So total to get us on the ship was an extra $100 which I did not want to do but was needed to get on the ship. When booking this reservation she must have thought I said 21st but was supposed to be the 31st. (Should have read the confirmation more carefully).

So after everything was settled, we were lucky to get same room as we had before (oceanview). They give each of you a blue card with your name and room number on it, whoever's credit card you decided to use to connect to these cards will automatically get billed everytime you buy anything on the cruise line(drinks,photos,shows,suveniors). There is no cash allowed to be taken to pay for anything on the cruise.
