Background: We are in our late 50s and enjoy traveling any time we can get away.
We did not come the day ahead as usual, but decided to try the same day. It was a little nerve-racking, as I was constantly waiting for something to go wrong. Next time, back to the old way. We took a plane to Miami and cab to the port. It took a total of about 2 hours to get aboard, after all the lines and starting and stopping again. Very frustrating.
We had the good fortune to get a 9A cabin on deck 7 - 7445. It is a wrap-around deck and very roomy. We had people over several times to check it out.
