This is our second RCI cruise and the first on a mid to larger size ship. We are a couple in our fifties and have caught the cruising bug. As the time drew near to start the cruise our expectations rose. I'd like to report they were all fulfilled!!!

On the 8th of December we drove from Montgomery, Alabama to Atlanta, Georgia to catch our Air Trans flight to Ft Lauderdale. By taking late flights on both legs of the roundtrip we were able to get some great internet fares. You may ask why we drove to Atlanta when there is an airport in Montgomery. Basically, savings,savings,savings!!! I'll bet there are other cruisecritic members out there that have the same problem of having an airport that doesn't have any lower priced airlines flying in to it and having to travel miles to save money. We ended up saving (even after long term parking fees) about $200.00 over what Montgomery would have cost us. My thanks go out to Air Trans for their wonderfully competitive internet fares.

Now comes the only bad experience of the cruise. We arrived at the Ft Lauderdale airport and called a Wyndham Hotel airport shuttle to come and pick us up. When we got to the hotel a big surprise awaited us. They had rented our room out!!!!! Before we left Montgomery I had checked with the Wyndham customer service on-line and they said late check in would be no problem. The clerk at the hotel said" we have you down for a 12:30 check in it's almost 1:20." Instead of getting angry, which a few of the other people that this had happened to did, I asked  "well can you get us a comparable room some where else?" This starts part two of the adventure.
