Let me start off by saying how nervous I was to be sailing on one of the older ships in the fleet.... Let me also start off by saying how mis guiding some of the other reviews for this ship can be.
We sailed on Halloween out of Port Canaveral. We stayed at the Four Points by Sheraton and utilized their park and cruise. For only $35 our car got to stay at their covered garage that was also extremely cure when it came to surveillance cameras and security. It also included transportation for up to four, which worked out great for the three of us traveling. We left the hotel at 10:30 and were at the port by 11. We did make a stop at the Radison to pick up another party, but there were only a total of three groups on the shuttle. That was surprising since Sensation and the Disney Dream were also sailing that day.
Check in was fast and efficient. Since we were booked in an Ecstasy Suite we had priority boarding. How great it is to sit and enjoy a glass of ice water while you wait to check in. There was only group in front of us that was wrapping up at the priority check in desk. We quickly took our pictures and received our sign & sails along with our priority boarding placard. As we headed to the boarding area I noticed how short the check in lines were for non priority passengers were. We were about to sit down and wait for them to begin calling for zone boarding when I realized they had begun priority boarding. We literally walked onto the ship and right up to the lido deck for lunch.
Great size. Bathroom smaller than other suites, but still a cut above the rest. Best balcony we have had to date with it being extended.
