Additional details
On the day of sailing 03/30/2009 we drove from my mom's in the Orlando area to Miami. We left around 7 am, took I-95 down (avoiding the turnpike and the toll.)We arrived in Miami before Noon and drove to the lot to park, we chose to park by the airport and they shuttled us to the port. We saved $30.00 by doing this, but next time may just park at the port, more on that later.
Checking in was a breeze once we got thru the line outside, the agent was very nice and after that we were on the ship in less that 15 minutes (this after the standard welcome aboard photo)once on the ship we got out glass of champagne, a very nice touch. We went up to deck 11 for lunch, we had our lunch in Il Adagio, they offered pizza and create your own pasta. The pasta was great, there were not many in there so we avoided the crowd at the main buffet. Plus we had Italian without having the pay to do so.
By this time our cabin was ready, we had an outside which we would not normally get, however a week before the cruise I was checking the rates and found that what we had paid for inside was now the same price for outside. I called the company we booked with and kindly asked if it was possible to get and upgrade. I only held on for 5 minutes and was thrilled that we were upgraded. Glad I called when I did, because only a few days later the cruise was sold out. We thought the cabin was just fine for an 12 year old ship. My mom thought the cabin seemed small, I thought it was ok in size and knew it was larger than the cabins on the Royal Caribbean ships we have cruised on. Plus who really spends all that much time in the cabin when you are on a cruise anyway. Cruise cabins are small for a reason, so you will go out and spend your money on their ship! We did have one issue, the second day when we got up the the toilet didn't flush, thru the day it worked and then didn't. It was finally fixed, someone put something in there that didn't belong, so the main line was stopped. I went to reception on deck 5 and asked if there was anything that they could do for us for the trouble, after a few minutes the young lady returned with a vouched for complementary bottle of wine, we were happy with that.
