Arrived Ft Lauderdale day before and stayed at Holiday Inn which provided transportation from airport to hotel and arranged transportation from hotel to ship for a nominal charge. When we arrived at the port we were seated by groupings- we were Emerald. However, when permitted to board, Platinum group went ahead of us - disappointed since we just made Emerald.
Cruise was chosen based on wanting a bit longer cruise and a balcony cabin aft. Ship was nicely decorated for the holidays and was well maintained. Our balcony was wonderful - bigger than Junior Suite balcony we have had on past cruises. We had very nice views of the harbors on sail always.
Our cabin was clean and stateroom attendant very attentive bringing ice twice a day. She was visible and very pleasant each day.
Great cabin with panoramic views Larger than most balconies. We had two loungers, two chairs, two footstools and a large table. Balcony is partially covered. Great cabin and balcony experience.
