We stayed at the SpringHill Suites Orlando airport and took their shuttle to Port Canaveral for $40 each round trip. It took longer than anticipated because they stopped at 4 hotels and then dropped off passengers at 3-4 ships. But we still arrived prior to 1pm.
Embarkation was great! We were on the ship within 15 minutes, then dropped off our bags and headed to the Windjammer for lunch. It was busy, as usual, but that’s the nature of a buffet. Food was OK. We just don’t love buffets, even at home.
Our room, 9656, was a nice balcony room. It is starting to show its age; we would like to see the furnishings and carpet refreshed, as both look worn/tired. The staff does keep everything clean and tidy. Our room steward, Deraje, did a great job of keeping ice in my ice bucket and finding me a foam pillow! He was friendly and attentive to our needs!
Looking tired. Carpet and furnishings need refurbished.
Always take the city bus to Magen's Bay! A little crowded as there were at least 4 ships there.
Too expensive for hamburger lunch on the beach. Got back to ship late due to traffic jam on the side of the mountain.
