My sister took me on this cruise for my 40th birthday and we had a blast. For the most part, everything was excellent. I'm going on the Bermuda run in August with my husband and I can't wait!

Embarkation was a snap! We arrived at the Miami airport around 10:30 from NY. We took a taxi and arrived at the terminal. Our bags were taken and we went into the terminal. We were all through the terminal and began boarding by 11:40. I have to say though by the time they called our row, the terminal was full. We were eating lunch in the Garden Cafe by 12:15. They told us our rooms would be ready by 2:00 but we were pleasantly surprised when they announced they were ready at 1:30. Our room was the only one in the hallway so it was very quiet. There are closets and employee hallways only.

Cabin: We had obstructed view so we were looking at a rescue tender the majority of the time. Be warned if you have this type of cabin to close your curtains when changing or using the bathroom. They are constantly checking on the tenders and they can see right in your cabin. The cabin was a good size. Our steward Tony was great. The room was always clean and he replaced our towels and beach towels when asked. We also received towel animals every night. We checked our mini-bar when we got on and it was missing things which I reported right away so that I wasn't charged for them. We asked for the alcohol to be removed so we'd have room for our bottled water and soda. He did it within a few hours. Our toilet stopped flushing twice and once again it was fixed almost immediately. In fact, they sent someone and it had already been fixed. There is also a clothes line in the shower which helped dry out our stuff. They supply you with hand soap, shampoo, body gel and body lotion. There is no conditioner. There are dispensers for everything except the body lotion.
