Cabin: Interior
We began our journey with flights on Southwest to Ft. Lauderdale. We flew down on the day after Thanksgiving and had hoped that the flights would be relatively empty. Wrong. Every seat was taken and somehow it felt as though they had packed in extra seats because I don’t recall ever feeling that cramped in an airline seat before.
My the time we landed and collected our bags it was 11:30 PM. Our hotel offered free pick up at the airport but I was worried about how long they would take to get us. I needn’t have worried…we were on the bus by 11:40 and at the hotel ten minutes later. Awesome service!!!
Our hotel was the Rodeway Inn & Suites, Ft. Lauderdale. This was our third time staying there as we love their free shuttle service to and from the port. This isn’t the fanciest hotel, but the rates are good, the free breakfast is just enough to tide us over till we board, and the shuttle service is fast and efficient.
Cabin Review
Interior
Cabin 4C
This cabin is a typical interior cabin. It has just the right amount of space for us and we were very comfortable here. The cabin is located very close to the forward stairs/elevator and it's very quiet.
Port Reviews
Grand Turk
Beautiful beach right alongside the pier. Horseback rides are right there and there is a huge Margaritaville within a few steps of the pier. If you're a space-nut then don't miss the exhibit at the Cruise Center.
Curacao
Loved the Punda area, particularly the floating market. Shops and restaurants are within walking distance of the port.
Aruba
Plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance of the port. However, we recommend an excursion or taxi to go to the beach. The taxi drivers we've encountered were all very honest and they have preset fees depending on your origin and destination.
Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Beautiful beach board walk. We love to take the water taxis to tour the canals.
