The Birthday bash 2013 was nothing short of awesome for me and my crew which included myself, my wife and my three kids aged 12, 10 and 7. It was a birthday bash as i celebrated my 45th on the 27th of February followed by by my wife on the 28th and my first born on the 29th (or in this case, the 1st of March).
It starts out with gaining Delta Silver status which I lost due to lack of recent travel but for this trip, it got me 5 checked bags for free. Don't know why but sure as hell am not going to question it.
Arriving in West Palm Beach, we check in to the airport Hilton and the Captain/Shuttle driver is nothing short of spectacular. Night #2 in North Beach Miami at the Doubletree was unreal as the room was larger than the first floor of my house and it had a wrap around balcony!!!!! I/We are spoiled.
Our deluxe Ocean view rooms (2432 and 2436) were low and sucked when elevators were needed bu they were also the largest rooms they had only overshadowed by the suites. The rooms are however oversized (lack of balcony gives to the room) and you have two bathrooms in the suite which makes getting ready a little easier.
Miss Gordanna out room attendant was AMAZING. She treated us great and our kids even better. I plan to write Carnival on her. Best room attendant I have had to date.
