FLL to Port Everglades: This was no problem at all. We decided not to pay the expensive Holland America transfer and got a taxi at the airport. For three people, our fair was $15 total and it took us only a few minutes to get there.
Ship: I found the Zuiderdam to be in ok condition. It is starting to show some wear on the interior, but is mostly in good condition. Some tables have some wear and tear, as do handrails. The carpeting is wearing in some locations, but is mostly unnoticeable.
Room: We stayed in 5037 which is a verandah stateroom. I found it to be of average size for a cruise ship - nothing great, nothing terrible. Our cabin steward was fantastic and always had our room in top shape.

The bathroom having a tub was nice because the shower is probably a little bigger than your average cruise ship shower - so no shower curtain trying to stick to your body.
