First of all, I cannot express how great this vacation was. We had a blast. We were in cabin 8538, a category C suite with a balcony. We were originally in a category D and we were upgraded a week before. We were in #8538. If anyone has the opportunity to book this cabin, DO IT. It was a great location. It was a mid ship location right next to the Crown and Anchor study. It was also right next to the centrum so it was always nice to go out of the room to see what was going on out there. We were right below the pool deck and the Windjammer cafe. PERFECT location. We did not hear any noise either.
We arrived in Miami the day before and stayed at the Wyndham Biscayne Bay. It was just okay. We got it for $50.00 though so couldn't complain too much. Don't eat breakfast there though, it was bad.
We arrived at the port at about 11:30 and check in was smooth. I think we actually got on board at about 12:30. We threw our carry-ons in the cabin and went around the ship. She was beautiful!! Very Impressive!! We grabbed a little snack at the Windjammer too. We got our luggage fairly quick. We unpacked and made our cabin "home" for the next 10 days. Plenty of storage space in a category "C".
