I would like to share our recent experience on the Eurodam with others. My husband and I are 40 and 51. We are "active" travelers and like to get out and participate - both day and night. We are not the type to just lounge by the pool or beach all day. This was our 17th cruise and we have cruised a variety of other lines. Therefore, I feel we can make fair comparisons. I will try my best to keep this simple and easy to read:
Fort Lauderdale: We flew in the day before and stayed at the Hyatt Airport North. Booked via Priceline for $55+tax. They provide a shuttle for $6/person, but we took a cab. Easily fit 4 people and w/ tip was $20 total. Would have been much less, but there was an extremely long line of taxis upon entering the cruise terminal and the meter racked up!
Embarkation: Very smooth. From the time we exited the taxi until we were in our room it was approx 40 min. The line kept moving at all times. We were in our room by 12:15. Grade: A
