Nothing like waiting more than a year to post a review, eh?
My boyfriend booked the cruise last minute for an anniversary celebration. It was less than 7 days prior to departure and booked the "Guaranteed Balcony" option for $699/pp. We were automatically assigned an 8C cabin, #8202.
Because of the short advanced notice of sailing, we opted to fly to Miami the day of the cruise which turned out to be one of the coldest and windiest in the history of NYC for the end of October. The flight took off on time, thankfully.
