This was our 13th cruise. We left on 9/11 and traveled through the Bermuda triangle during hurricane season and used a credit card that expired on Sept 2011. It's a good thing that we're not superstitious.
We left Michigan on the morning of the cruise and arrived in Fort Lauderdale about 11:30. A short cab ride past the Oasis and Carnival "Irritation" (as Captain Rob called it) and we were at our ship. The check-in was a breeze and we were soon on board.
We booked this cruise as sort of a last minute get away to use up some free air that we had and we got a great deal. We had a great time and this isn't a complaint, but RCCL clearly cut back on a number things on this cruise.
Cabin 4056. Nice location. About 10 cabins down from the Champagne Lounge and then the main dining room. The only drawback was we occasionally heard people moving chairs or jogging on deck 5.
