I flew into FLL December 2 and stayed at Cambria Suites. I took a cab to the Hard Rock casino for some fun the night before the embarkation. Cambria Suites is nice and has shuttles to and from the airport and pier.
Embarkation was easy since I'm a Platinum member. I went to the head of the line after taking the 12:20 shuttle. I was in my cabin by 1:15. I had a quick lunch at the International cafe and then made it out to the sun deck.
The first week was great. We stopped at Aruba and Curacao and Princess Cays. There was a large over 40 singles group on board with 530 or so people. They had their own dining room and parties. They had a lot of fun and it took a large group out of the main dining flow.
Quiet location, shower drain plugged up and held water. The cabin was fine.
