We landed at around 9:35am and took a cab from Miami airport to the port. The cab drivers are rude, obnoxious and nasty. The City of Miami should require that all cab drivers took a class on customer service. If it weren't for us they would all be on their rear ends collecting unemployment. The flat rate is 24.00 dollars
EMBARKATION:
Getting on the boat was a no-brainer. Got there around 10:30am and had to wait in the lounge until 11:30am to finally board. We've been on 3 Carnival cruises and this was our first NCL cruise. The dEcor is definitely better without the glitz and glamour of Carnival. The rooms are also nicer on NCL. It was also worth the extra charge to get a room with a window.
We had a room with a window and it was well worth the extra cost!!
