This was our first Royal Caribbean cruise in 18 years though we’ve done Carnival several times since.
We’d stopped the night before at Port St. Lucie about ninety minutes away. Before we left the hotel, we got a text saying the cruise was delayed a couple of hours. I later found out why and I’ll explain at the end of this review.
We hung out at the hotel then arrived at Port Everglades around 1:00 pm. We’d decided to park at the port thinking it’d be more convenient. If I cruise from there again, I’ll use a park and ride service. We still had to haul our luggage to a shuttle to take to the ship. On our return, the ship was closer to the garage but we still had to tote our luggage a long way from ship to garage.
Good room with bonus balcony space looking forward, only problem was balcony door seal started to fail and got loud whistling toward end of cruise.
