Decided this year that we would try a cruise. We usually go to all inclusive resorts in the Caribbean.
Flew to Miami from Charlotte USAir and transferred to the port by shuttle I had already booked. Talked the driver into stopping for wine so we could carry on our bottle each. All went well.
Got to the port, checked bags and went to embarkation. All good here also. They have this down to a science and do it well.
Very nice room close to elevators and Lido deck. Also has a small deck at the front of the ship. Not huge but fine for 2 people. Has the best steward (Sergio) on the ship. Nice balcony, small shower but big enough. Lots of storage. All luggage fit under the bed. Cleaned every time we left the room. Must have had good neighbors because rarely heard anything.
