My sister-in-law and I came for a rest and a holiday where everything was to hand...and that is what we got!
We flew into Miami and quickly settled into the Intercontinental Hotel following the exhausting queue to get into the country! One couple had been waiting in the passport queue for two and a half hours! It was a re-play of the situation we experienced when we cruised in 2010 despite their protestaions of computer failure and change of shifts.
Following our speedy transfer by coach to the ship,boarding was smoothly executed even though one of us had packed their Boarding Card in their suitcase. The staff were all pleasant and most helpful.
Shhhhhhhhh! Don't tell anyone........our balcony was at the rear of the boat.....we had SO much sunshine! We ate out there......we rested...sunbathed..and had a superb view of places we had just visited.
