Arrival and Embarkation This trip was booked 9 days before departure. I flew to Fort Lauderdale non-stop on Continental from Houston. I upgraded to first class for $60 and avoided paying for my luggage. It was worth it for the nice seat. Continental now has DirecTV on a lot of their flights, so that is nice.
Due to the lateness of the booking, I really only had documents a little over a day before departure. All you really need is a passport and SetSail pass, and you are good to go.
Fort Lauderdale was easy as usual, and my cab ride with tip was $18. There were cookies and coffee at the pier, but I had a full breakfast on board the flight.
Category G Oceanview: plenty of storage space, no fridge, room service, small window over bed, nice loveseat. Adequate, but not luxurious.
