My wife and I (early 30's) were looking to take a cruise without our little ones, to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We were looking for a great time of relaxing, but at the same time, we really wanted to have some adventure too. We felt that a cruise might be able to encompass both of these expectations, and for the most part, our cruise ship the Liberty of the Seas boldly stepped up to the challenge with little hesitation.

We started our trip by flying into Fort Lauderdale, which was our port of embarkation. I really like this port because the airport is so close to the cruise port. In certain concourses of the airport, you can literally see the cruise ships lined up and ready for your party to begin. We chose to fly in a day early to enjoy some of the local area. We chose to stay at the Courtyard by Marriott in Dania Beach. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone taking a cruise. We had prompt shuttle service from the airport to the hotel. Once we arrived we were able to sign up for our cruise port shuttle for the next day. They have this down fairly well and were happy to be of service to us. Another reason why I like this hotel is because it is located within walking distance to a bus and train transfer station. This made it very easy for us to hop on a bus and head to the beach on our day in Fort Lauderdale. It worked very smoothly with bus fair only being $1.75 each way. This hotel is also very modern, clean, and provides all the needed necessities for a nice stay.

Upon embarkation the next day, we arrived a little early to the terminal. We arrived around 10:45 am and were done registering by 11:15 am. I would recommend to not get there any earlier than this time. We had to wait from 11:15-12:15 in a waiting room until the ship was ready. Once aboard the Liberty of the Seas, we spent a while in admiration. It is a very beautiful ship that is evidently well maintained. It appeared that the staff was always painting the ship, which conveyed to me how meticulous Royal Caribbean is about their ships. We left the port a little late, but we did not care; we were in vacation mode!
