Sail Date: Aug 2009

This was my second cruise, having sailed last August on the Fascination out of the Port of Miami. Instead of flying, we opted to drive a lonnnng 12 hour drive to Port Canaveral. We stayed right outside of St. Augustine the night before, and drove approximately an hour and half the next morning. The drive to Port Canaveral was much easier than I expected. I was surprised how easy it was to get there. There was traffic backed up waiting to unload baggage, but that's expected when there are two large ships in port.

The embarkation process was fairly simple. We had a bit of a wait to get in, but it wasn't too bad. Upon arriving, we had to fill out a questionnaire about swine flu, which didn't bother me at all. It's nice to see they are taking measures to prevent sickness. I also noticed that there were hand sanitizer stations set up throughout the ship, and this wasn't something I had noticed last year.

Anyway, we arrived on the ship in plenty of time to have lunch on the lido deck and enjoy a few drink of the day specials. Our luggage arrived promptly to our cabin. The cabin was nice and clean. There were four of us sharing a cabin, and I will say that next time I cruise, I will not be sharing a room with that many people. There just isn't enough room for everyone to be comfortable. The beds were cozy and our room steward provided fresh towels, turned down our beds and left us a towel animal every evening.
