We began our vacation by staying at the Ft Lauderdale Rodeway Inn.
The hotel is nice and we enjoyed the shuttle TO the cruiseport, but when we called to ask the shuttle to pick us up at the end of the cruise, no one answered so we had to take a cab. Keep in mind this was on a Friday, not on the busier Saturday or Sunday. $14.00 cab ride.
We caught the early shuttle ($2.00 per person) at 9:30 a.m. so we could get to the terminal early.
Cabin 414 on Deck 6 was great. No noise, close enough to elevator, but not too far. Elevator takes you right to the back of the Lido deck!
