To call Ft. Lauderdale a "Port of Call" is kind of silly. It is the city you fly into and embark and disembark from the ship. I guess if you wanted to do a RCCL thing here, then I suppose you could stretch the term "Port of Call" but for me that is a place you sail to - not a place you fly to for the purpose of getting on the ship. But maybe I'm wrong.

We did it alone by flying in a day early and spent the day in Hollywood Florida (20 minutes away by Uber) and had a blast. We did the same on the last day...but I will get to that in a minute.

We chose to fly in on a carrier that we liked (Virgin) and Uber'ed it in for $16 to our hotel. We stayed at the Diplomat in Hollywood Fla. It is a beautiful hotel with great amenities (minus shampoo -of all things) with great views, pools, restaurant and bars. I think it was cheaper for us to do it this way. I have done the fly in thing with RCCL and Princess in the past and found it was kind of an economy deal with at the time an obscure airline. I am sure (I hope) it is different now, but I still wanted to do my own thing and it worked. I got the hotel deal on Priceline and it was a total steal.

Cabin Review

Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Large Balcony

Cabin D1

Big nice stateroom. This room has a little bigger balcony so I would totally do this again. Clean. Nice sized bath and shower. Best stateroom in all of my cruises.

Port Reviews

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

Lots to do here. We stayed in Hollywood FL. It is 20 minutes to the port. Lots to do. Take the Trolley to Downtown eat and check out the cigar joints or shopping.

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

Went to the La Casa Del Habana - a Cuban Cigar Lounge. It was great. Air conditioned, great drinks and cigars. Sat with their staff watched cricket. It was a nice way to spend a couple of hours and relax.
