Overall we had an excellent time. We traveled with our almost 17 year old son.
Hotel - We stayed at the Marriott Residence Inn in Cape Canaveral. Very nice hotel, clean, new and extremely convenient. Rented a car from Budget at Orlando Airport and dropped it off in Cape Canaveral - walking distance from the hotel. Their shuttle was perfect. Highly recommend them.
Embarkation - We were in a Cat 11 Suite so we had VIP check in. Compared to Long Beach Pride cruise last year this was a breeze. Got to the port around 11:15 and on the ship within 30 minutes. Although the deck doors to the cabin were closed we did manage to sneak in and drop off our bags in our cabin which was actually ready. Our cabin stewardess was fabulous. She was always available, friendly and accommodating.
