We arrived the morning of our cruise (I know, big no no coming from Michigan)and headed for the NCL rep at FLL's airport. We could not find them at our terminal and were instructed by CCL's rep to go to a terminal on the other side of the airport. We found the rep, and then waited for what seemed to be forever(really an hour)to get enough people to fill the bus.

We arrived at the pier and our luggage was whisked away. We booked thru CAS so once we got through the initial metal detector, our line had no one in it (they had a separate CAS check in). We went upstairs and sat and waited for our number to be called. We declined the photo(as we had been up since 5am and looked awful) and went onboard. We stopped in our cabin to drop off our carry on, and there was an envelope from CAS there for us. It was our player's cards. We were surprised to not see a drink card, but when we went to the casino to ask they said because we got a discount on the room we did not get a drink card. Strange, but it was too late to argue. We went up to the buffet to get a bite to eat. It was extremely crowded, but we got through and found a seat at the back of the ship.

Once our rooms were announced to be ready we went back. Our cabin was an obstruced OK room. You could see the water between the two boats, and we only saw a crew member out there in Jamaica checking the life boats one time. The bed was comfortable, the tv was tiny, and the bathroom was small. You could not close the door to the toilet if you were over 5 feet tall. My DH had to have his legs out near the sink. We had an issue with the toilet flushing (even with just urine) that had to be reported daily, but they always came to fix it promptly. Our room steward was wonderful and left us cute animals each day.
