My DH and I are 45 yrs. old and traveled with our DDs 10 and 12. This is our 5th cruise , first on HAL (DDs have been on 2 Disney cruises). We went to Alaska on Carnival and S. Caribb on Chandris. We flew to Ft. Myers as we couldn't get into Ft. Laud. and stayed at the Comfort Inn and Suites. It is a wonderful hotel. The staff couldn't have been nicer and more attentive. My kids weren't in the door yet and they were offered fresh cookies. The desk attendant gave us directions for dinner, remembered to ask us about it later, and always asked if we needed anything. The room was big, clean and very quiet. The hotel is set back in a wooded area and quite peaceful. We had the whole pool and hot tub to ourselves and the pool was Warm! The only negative was the slippery tub. I fell and hurt my wrist so be careful. We rented a Budget car at the airport and drove 2 hrs. to the terminal. Car was fine, but it took the Budget Van 1 hr. to bring DH back. At about 12:50 we went through embarkation. It was smooth; we were in the Lido approx. 15 mins. later. It was very crowded and hard to go to all the stations then get drinks especially without trays.

The rooms were opened about 2:30 . We were very happy to see our inside 6071 wasn't a closet. It was quite roomy and had the Best storage ever. We had 3 closets and ended up with an empty shelf. There are lg. drawers at the foot of the bed and luggage slides under the bed. As promised, the beds are very comfy. My DD wanted to take her sofa bed home. The only downside to the room was the pull down bed is over the queen. We much prefer it over the sofa. It was so low my poor DH whacked his head a number of times. The bathroom has a shower and again lots of storage. There are 3 shelves in the cabinet and a lg. shelf under the sink. (I walked by several outside rms. and Sys and the only difference appeared to be the balcony.)

We met, Harmoko, our cabin steward and he was wonderful. I asked for ice the first day, and after he saw me make an icepack, he had one in the cabin every day. It was very thoughtful. He always greeted us in the hall and we wanted for nothing. Read more
