Just returned from a wonderful week cruising the Caribbean. we flew into Miami 2 days prior to sailing. We have sailed on many cruises and have found going down a day or two early most beneficial. This year was no exception as our flight was delayed 6 hours and this would have made us miss had we not gone early. This is the first time we have ever been delayed. We would advise everyone who can facilitate going down a day early to do so to avoid disappointment.

EMBARKATION: As we are platinum members with RCL we understood that we would have priority boarding. We arrived at the port at 11:30 and proceeded to check inn with an RCL representative. This was done in a timely and efficient manner. Finding the line up for priority boarding was a challenge. It was not well marked and the representatives we unsure of where we should line up. This caused some confusion. Once we were directed to the correct line, embarkation was smooth and quick.

THE SHIP: A magnificent vessel to say the least. Lots of space, lots of chairs, lots to do. You would never know that there were 4100 passengers aboard. Line ups were minimal to non existent and when they did exist they moved quickly and efficiently. Rock climbing, ice rink, mini golf, H20 zone and of course the Flow Rider all were beyond expectations. Entertainment was top notch and the cruise director James was fabulous. Read more
