We spent the night at the Hilton Garden Inn Dania Beach using the park and cruise package. It is a great location close to many stores and restaurants. It is also right off I-95 so an easy jump point for going home. They have a nice pool and hot tub and with the cruise package you get free shuttle service and cook to order breakfast.
The sun was out as we arrived at terminal 26. Embarkation was bit disjointed. First screening, then we had a crowd around two tables to fill out the illness questionnaires which was a bit unnecessary as this could have been done while checking in. A Hal member won't let you up the stairs until you have it in hand.
From there you get your sea cards and a number. You sit in the holding area until they call your number then you get to board. From entrance to on board took about an hour.
An Elegant and well constructed room. Very comfortable. Love the shower!!! Super comfy bed with soft sheets. Soft plush towels. Nice soft robes.
