I sailed with my husband this was our 12th cruise overall. 8th with Carnival. We are in our late 40's. This was the first week with their new itinerary -- 8 day southern. Sail date was January 21, 2012.
Pre-Cruise:
Flew into Fort Lauderdale the day before the cruise. We used Ocean Sky for our car service which picked us up at the airport and took us to our hotel in Miami. Great service I would certainly recommend them. Stayed at the Doubletree Biscayne Bay -- nice hotel nothing exceptional.
Room 6409: Close to the stewards closet and the employee entrance - noisy in the mornings. There was always cleaning supplies outside our door, making it hard to get around at times. Very warm - could not get it cool.
