We arrived at Port Everglades around 11:30am from the Embassy Suites in Fort Lauderdale. The porters at the terminal were very quick in getting our luggage out. From there we went into the terminal. It looked like it would take us awhile to get on, but boarding was very efficient and we were in our room by 12:15.
We went up to the Caribe Cafe for lunch. There was a very good selection of salads, fresh vegetables, and hot ham and cheese sandwiches, etc. After lunch we toured around the ship. She was beautiful and very clean. The employees were very helpful and nice. We registered the children in the Teen Center for the activities. They really enjoyed going up there everyday and evening after dinner. They made quite a few new friends on the ship.
We were PC dining and we never had a problem getting in a dining room. We never waited all week for a table. The food in the Coral and Palm restaurants was wonderful, and they didn't mind bringing extra if anyone wanted it. We loved breakfast in the Horizon/Caribe. There was something for everyone, and the tables by the windows were wonderful to sit and and gaze at the ocean. We went to the pools after breakfast and we never had a problem finding seats. Some days we sat at the Calypso and some days the Neptune.
