This cruise offered us a nice itinerary and excellent value. This was our 13th cruise I believe as we've previously cruised with Princess, Carnival, HAL, RCCL and Celebrity. This actually was the most inexpensive 7 day cruise we've booked since we started cruising back in the 90's. Seems given the economy, there are excellent values out there. So as you read this review, please consider this was from a ship of 3000+ passengers at a very affordable price.

We drove to the port and used Park N Fly. With a AAA discount we paid $10.50 per day to park. They are right next to the port and just as convenient as if you park yourself in the Port Everglades lot, which I believe is $15 per day. As soon as we parked our car, the shuttle picked us up and bypassed all the cars waiting in line to get to the port. The shuttle was also waiting for us when we disembarked.

Embarkation and disembarkation were excellent. We got off our shuttle at 12:30 pm to no line inside the check in area. We were on the ship in a matter of minutes. We also choose the self-walk off disembarkation whenever possible on our cruises. This was the first self-walk off process we've experienced that was very organized. While the ship arrived a bit late into Port Everglades on our last morning, 7 am, we were actually off the ship at 7:45 am. There were 3 groups to self disembark, and we were in the middle group. Thanks to these folks for figuring out how to organize this. Read more
