Transportation
We rented a car from National. They provide a shuttle to the ship dock when the car is returned. They also will take renters from the dock to the airport after the cruise. This is a nice service that they don't advertise, but for those not wanting to take a taxi ($25 fixed rate, plus tips), this is a good feature. The National lot is on the airport, but a shuttle must be taken to get to it, with the additional luggage juggling, during which the driver dropped and broke my bag. The National drivers are very hungry for tips and insist on moving the luggage themselves and in offering a lot of gratuitous (and somewhat incorrect) information about the embarkation process and so forth.
Pre-Cruise Stay
Cabin Review
Verandah Suite
This is a nice cabin, with plenty of room and a nice balcony. There is some noise coming from across the hallway due to some type of restaurant service area there. A fair amount of dishes and pans are banging there during times when the main dining room is open.
