I have been doing cruise reviews on Cruise Critic for a few years. This was my 2nd Royal Caribbean Cruise and I have also cruised Carnival & NCL. I do try to keep an open mind, and critique what I see and my overall experience in hopes the cruise line and future passengers may benefit. I tend to cover multiple captions and I hope that my experience is helpful to you.
This was a last minute booking 3 days prior. The price and timing were too good to pass up so I grabbed it. I’ve been to all of the ports: Nassau, Bahamas, Key West & Coco Cay, so I was aware of what to expect.
SAS TRANSPORT (www.ridesas.com) $16 per person each way approx. 45 min: I normally do not review my flight/ travel experience unless it is booked through the cruise line, but being last minute and slight delay I wanted to cover my transport service as it may assist others. I flew from PHL to FLL the day of the cruise. I know, I know, but booking so last minute this was my best affordable option. I experienced a 1:20 min delay arriving to FLL at 1:30pm. As soon as we learned of the delay I sent SAS transport an email as a heads up. SAS transport called me as soon as I landed and walking off the plane to say not to worry they were tracking my arrival and would be waiting for me outside of luggage. I walked right into the can and we were leaving immediately. We even had time to stop at a CVS for any last minute carry-on items or pick up my one bottle of allowed WINE.
CABIN: INT 6407 mid ship.... RCI interior staterooms are small which I already knew (114 sq). The setup and positioning of the bed as a KING was perfect for a SOLO cruiser. SAFE, 32" flat screen TV, room light switches at the bed, water and soda to purchase in the room. There is limited drawer space and I have no idea how two occupants would manage clothing for a week long cruise unless you also utilized your suitcases as under-the-bed drawers. BATHROOM is also small and only included small hotel style soap and a dispenser in the shower. I guess that was shampoo since bar soap was provided? I bring all my own supplies. No other amenities are provided on RCI (at least inside cabins on deck 6).
