Disclaimer, these are my opinions, I love to cruise, I walk around the ship with a smile on my face always :) No one is going to ruin my cruise LOL

Arrival at Port of Miami You must show your cruise docs to enter the port. We sailed on a Wed. so the lineup of trucks getting into the port was very long. Stay to your left for the car only lane. We arrived at terminal around 11:15. Parking the car took a little longer than usual due to the Wed departure. Breezed through check-in, went upstairs for Sail and Sign card, picture for card and Embarkation Photo. Boarded ship at 12:30. The ship is magnificent!!!!!!!! Take the time to really look at the art work, fabrics, wall decorations, carpets, marble floors and see how they all flow together.

First stop reservations for the Nouveau Supper Club. We were the first to make reservations so there was no problem. Made reservations for the 3rd and 6th nights. They offer a free glass of champagne if you book the first night. We were concerned about not getting our luggage on time, they assured us we would have it in time, but we decided to go with our original plan. DO NOT MISS the supper club!!! It was fantastic! Well worth the $20.00 per person charge, plus extra gratuity. The food was exceptional, the service even better, entertainment even better than that. We wound up eating here 3 times I had Joe's Stone Crab, African Lobster tails and Filet mignon. Caesar Salad is made table side. Onion Soup and Lobster Bisque are wonderful. Desserts are not to be missed!!!!! Trio Creme Brulee, Flourless Chocolate Cake, Assortment of Cheese Cakes. The service staff works in the Lido grill during the day. Read more
