My DH and I traveled with 2 other couples. We are all retired. We drove from Pensacola to Port Everglades. Because of so many events going on in FT. Lauderdale we were not able to find a room for less that $300, so we decided to stay in Ft. Pierce. About 2 hours away.
Before I begin this review I must mention that I love Carnival and Princess, but RCCL on the past three cruises have really WOW-ed me with special treatment!
We arrived at the Port around 11:00, the porters unloaded our bags and the guys took the mini bus to parking lot 18. Embarkation was very fast (by deck numbers). After taking boarding pictures, we were in the Windjammer Marketplace by 12:00 having lunch.
