Pre-Cruise: Flew in the day before and stayed at the Sheraton Biscayne Bay, soon to be torn down for condos. Got it for $66 on Priceline. No complaints. Took a cab the next morning to Bayside. Found nowhere to buy water or booze.
Embarkation: Very quick, got to the port at noon, no lines at all. Fastest ever -- our 13th cruise.
Cabin: Had an inside on deck 10 near the elevator -- handicapped so larger than most. I had cabin envy though seeing the suites nearby. Had trouble getting enough towels every day, my DH had to go find them even after telling the steward first thing we wanted plenty of towels. I recommend getting a few towels from the spa and using these to go ashore.
