This was a planned cruise that was booked last year. The reality is, leaving out of Baltimore in January, you should expect it too be cold when you arrive there. Parking at the port was $105. We entered the port and quickly checked in and were on the ship around 12:30. The buffett was open, so we took advantage. Cabin was ready at 2:30. After unpacking, we checked out the ship and found it to be of a very Renaissance design, not for everyone, but interesting to say the least.
The first day at sea was cool, 66 degree's and sunny. People were able to get some sun and the the solarium pool was open, along with the hot tubs. The second day at sea was in the 70's, and the further south we got, the warmer. I considered the sea days very nice and the ride was smooth and not rough at all.
Port Canaveral had many great excursions, we took our 3 year old to Magic Kingdon. We boarded and arrived at the park at opening time, 9am. We spent the day and were able to ride everything we wanted. We had to be back on the bus by 4:30, by then, we were ready. Temperture was 81 and it was beautiful.
My cabin steward was GEDE, and he knew our names the first day, cabin 1185 was always spotless. Great service.
