Tampa - Embarking What a beautiful terminal she is! Since we drove to Florida we had no problem. My sister-in-law dropped us off at the terminal at about 11 a.m. We were on board very quickly and headed to see if our rooms were ready. We were told that they would not be ready till about 1:30 (but they looked ready!) We headed to the aft bar to get a drink and a bite to eat. We passed the time there until the rooms were ready at 1:30.
The Ship A gorgeous ship for sure. Beautifully decorated in the "legends" theme. You could spend a week on the ship just looking at the various pieces of art depicting legends like the unicorn, the Trojan horse, Greek Gods, movie stars, and many many more.
Our cabin (8624 - Balcony) was typical for a standard balcony. Nothing special to report but completely adequate. I was disappointed that the TV was not a flat screen, but we don't watch much anyway. The navigation system that shows on the TV was a disappointment however. It is not much more than a line and a dot. Much inferior to what we see on HA or Princess. Your safe needs to be locked/unlocked using your driver's license! Not a good plan considering that you now have to carry that ID around the ship with you. This one was a head shaker?
Great location - one flight of stairs to the lido. Some chair noise from above in the morning.
