I'll try and keep this brief!!!

I'm 32 and my boyfriend is 25 we are of west Indian background and live in Toronto Canada - we got into Miami the day of the cruise no flight delays(thank god) drive to the port from MIA was about 15 minutes or so with a flat rate of $24.00 - next time i might do the flying one day ahead thingy just so that i can enjoy the Florida weather. Will never fly with American Airlines again as i was not aware that you had to pay for luggage until after i booked the ticket which coming from Canada the fare was already ridiculous due to the taxes/fuel surcharge.

Got to the port was told to write up tags and put them on the luggage which goes on a cart and then was told that i had to tip the person that was doing this; yet he asked another woman if she was going to carry her luggage with her - so I'm not sure if that is mandatory or if you could carry your suitcases with you. Stood in line waiting to enter the Norwegian complex for about 20 minutes several people were told that they could not take pictures while outside(didn't understand that one) started going inside and the lines to "check in" are done by what type of cabin you have, penthouse and Villas have expedited check in. Told a lot of info by in regards to the room card and how it works and blah blah blah - then around and down and up to another holding area where we waited for about 1 hour with no explanation from anyone - again could not take pics inside. We finally move to bored the ship again up and down around and around...whoever designed the spot sucked!!! Took the first of what seemed like 80 cruise pics!!
