First of all let me state we had a GREAT time.

[B]Pre-cruise:[/B] We arrived one day early and stayed at the Ramada Plaza Hotel in Hollywood. Got the room from the internet for $60. This is a good location.

The trip to Port Everglades is a short taxi ride away.

Embarkation: Excellent. We showed up at the published time (12 noon). They had already started boarding. Since we had all our docs filled out we were through the process in less than 10 minutes. As soon as we stepped on board there was a glass of chilled champagne handed to us. Great start! Read more
