My husband and I took this 3 day cruise for his birthday. We boarded Friday, 12/27/13. Embarkation went very smooth. We parked our car at port of Miami lot at 150 ne 7th street for $6 per day and $7 roundtrip shuttle. Great price and car was safe (directly in front of the American Airlines Arena).
The ship: We were in cabin 8275 AFT. It was extremely small when compared with Carnival's cabins. We found the food to be below our expectations. We tried the buffets and the food was simply not good. For dinner we chose to eat in the main dining rooms. The food was better but still not up to par with other cruises we've been on with Carnival & Royal Caribbean. From our cabin we could hear the base of the speakers from the lounge upstairs from us. So all night long we were hearing extremely loud music.
Compared to Carnival (which I've sailed on 8 times) this cruise line has a lot to learn. The workers are very rude, not friendly, have no sense of urgency. Even the quality of the pictures was not the same on this ship.
Extremely small, tiny shower, tiny, old 1980's TV, barely any storage space.
