Sail Date: Jul 2010
Cabin: Ocean Suite
Traveled with children

Arrival: We arrived in Miami after nearly 24 hrs of flying & transiting. Our 1st night was at the Miami International Airport Hotel which truly was our saviour as there were no transfers involvd once we got off the flight from LA. The hotel was quiet & dark so we all got a real good nights sleep. An easy transfer to the port ina taxi at the door for a fixed fee of $26.

This is our 2nd cruise - our 1st was on the Sun Princess cruising the South Pacific from Sydney, and travelling as a trio on the Princess ships is no fun in standard cabins as you are forced to sleep in single bunks/pull downs. So as a family we decided that we will only cruise in a suite as my husband & son get a bit of cabin fever so they like to have space plus they both also like to sit & watch tv/movies - whereas I could wander the ship & sit anywhere to pass the time.

Embarkation: We arrived at the port terminal at around 11.15am with plenty of people around. This is where the benefit of a suite booking comes in as we headed straight to the VIP check-in lounge where it took less than 15 mins to get us our sail away cards. From here it was straight on board. We headed up to Emile's for some lunch and after a quick self orientation we were in our cabin by 2pm.

Cabin Review

Ocean Suite

Cabin OS

Cabin No: 7317 - The suite was spacious & having a shower within a bath was heaven when you didn't bump into the sides trying to wash your hair! (A funny anecdote: I met a woman in the women's spa who was showering there every day as they were larger than the cabin's showers - not a bad tip if you could be bothered taking your stuff up there every day!) There were his & her basins which were also a treat. The sofa was made up as our son's bed, which was fine by us. There was plenty of hanger and storage space. The balcony was a decent size with an easy opening door. We were on Deck 7 - sandwiched between other accommodation only floors so there was very little noise from the noisy public areas, It was easy to forget we were on a ship.
