This was out first time cruise. Went with another couple. We stayed at the Residence Inn in Port Canaveral and the stay was awesome. The service was great and so was the food. The shuttle was on time and got us to the ship with no problems.
Boarding the ship was painless and very quick actually. They kept everyone moving as quick as possible. Everyone was so polite and very helpful to us. As for those who smoke as we do to. There are places you can smoke and they keep it very clean. I respect those who don't and we tried to smoke away from the non - smokers.
We were there with the High Seas Rally Group. So we had plenty to do with them as well. Days at sea were fun, miniature golf & rock climbing. Hot tubs on the top deck over looking the ocean. The bartenders were great entertainment & the music played by the pool was great to listen to while relaxing in the sun.
Quiet location. But we will get an ocean view next time.
