Sail Date: Feb 2016
Cabin: Sky Suite 1

We stayed the night before at the Renaissance which is directly across the street from the port and we could actually see the ship from our room. Very nice hotel full of mostly cruisers. We drove right into the port the next morning and parked in a lot adjacent to the terminal. Just FYI, there is another lot which is closer, but is reserved exclusively for Allure and Oasis and the lot was not even half full but we still were not allowed to park there. It is $15 USD to park in the lot per day.

Pier service was excellent. We arrived at 10:30 and were checked in in less than 5 minutes. Boarded the ship at 11:30 and because we were staying in a Suite we were able to go to the Luminae restaurant where we were able to have snacks and lunch until our cabin was ready.

We stayed in a Sky Suite (S1) room 9374 in the back of the ship on the straboard (right ) side. The sky suites are very nice. Plenty of room, butler service, upgraded bath amenities (Bulgari), etc. It is extremely quiet as very few guests are walking by and we like that. The balcony is large, and probably the only drawback to it is some soot from the smokestack will get on there each day but they do clean it (albeit not perfectly). The attendants did a nice job of keeping everything clean and tidy although they seem to not want to give out additional soaps, shampoos, etc. We had to ask twice but it may be because the Bulgari items are expensive.

We would definitely pay the extra to stay in a Sky suite again, but would not spend significantly more $$$ to stay in a larger suite.
