Pre-cruise:
We flew in the day before our cruise and are very thankful we did. We were supposed to arrive in Fort Lauderdale before noon, but due to airline delays we didn't arrive until 7:30 p.m. Had this been the day of the cruise, we would have missed the ship.
Embarkation:
The room itself was great. It is a bit noisy, however, as you get a lot of noise from deck 10 when they are re-arranging the pool chairs in the early morning or very late at night.
