Two of us flew out of Denver. We'd gone to Denver from Cheyenne a day earlier than planned to avoid any bad roads because a huge snow storm was predicted. We stayed Friday in the Microtel motel and watched it snow, and snow, and snow and listened to news reports about the 600 flights that had been cancelled. Saturday morning we went to the airport early and a very, very nice Delta agent moved us to an earlier flight without charge due to the bad weather. The plane then had to be deiced and we finally left at our originally scheduled time. If she hadn't put us on the earlier flight, we would have missed our connection in Atlanta. Five of us made this trip together. Two over 60 and I was treating my nephew, his wife, and their 23-year old son to the cruise. We flew out of Denver with over two feet of snow and was welcomed to beautiful Florida weather. My nephew and his family flew in from Kansas City and snow as well.

We stayed at the Cambria Suites and they were fantastic. We had beautiful suites. My great nephew shared with us. There was a separate bedroom with two queen beds and a pull out sofa for my great nephew. The only drawback being they were rather removed from any shopping or restaurants but the suites were awesome and the most reasonable hotel we found in the area. A free shuttle was provided from the airport and by the time we picked up our luggage, the shuttle was ready to go and just the five of us. The next morning they provided a free shuttle to the port. They were moving passengers in the order they registered for the shuttle. We chose to use a private shuttle. We've used South Floria Shuttle in the past and they are great to work with and reasonably priced.

The boarding process was unquestionably the best and fastest we've ever had. We did have VIP passes because we had suites but were treated exceptionally well.

The stateroom was very nice. Nice balcony, plenty of closet space, quiet location, plenty of room. Bathroom was exceptional with a jetted tub and shower, double vanity, and ample drawers.
