Just returned from the best vacation of my life with the family on board the Divina (Dec 10-21 2013). I just don't get all the negative reviews, especially after enjoying such a great time on this beautiful ship.
We are from Montreal and flew direct to Ft-Lauderdale the day before the cruise. Took a cab to Holiday Inn Port of Miami. From there it is a 5 minute cab ride to terminal the next day.
Embarkation. Arrived to terminal at 12:15. The moment we got out of the cab the porters unloaded the luggage and we did not have to deal with it until it arrived in the room. Check in was smooth and well organized and took an hour and change. We were in our stateroom at 1:30pm.
Standard balcony suite. Great quiet location because only a couple of rooms before dead-end corridor (leads to bridge). Directly above is aurea spa so no noise from above. Pool deck one level up so no need to wait for elevator. Elevator is close by and takes you directly to Theater entrance on deck 6/7 and Casino.
