We arrived at Port Everglades at 10:10a.m. I was warned by other reviews about embarkation and it helped. There is only one metal detector for 3,000 people to go through, so get to the port early if possible. We did and it was a breeze. We boarded the ship at 11:45a.m. and went up to the Lido deck to eat. The food was very good and then the rooms became ready at 1:30p.m. Always bring a bathing suit in your carry on bag so you can go in the pool after eating, it makes the first day become a complete day.
The boat was always kept clean, the dining rooms and the decor was very nice. Our waiter Hector and his staff Christopher & Romeo were great. My cabin steward Rodney was also great. The entire crew gave us everything we needed for our 2 year old which helped us out alot. The only complaint is there is only a baby pool for young children, which I believe is being updated on the new ship, the Dream.Camp Carnival is great for all kids.
The shows were great, the New orleans and beatles should not be missed. the comedian and juggler were cool too.
Our cabin was on the 10th floor,1060. I will always be getting a cabin on the 9th or 10th deck. Everything is right there for you, pools, slide, movies, food etc. We had a balcony, which we love. if you can afford it, treat yourself.The shower was the biggest I have had in awhile. There was plenty of closet space for the 3 of us.We were near everything. Well worth it.
