Bigger, Beautiful but not necessarily better. We were on the August 13th sailing to Labadee, Jamaica and Cozumel.
Boarding:
We stood at the SpringHill Suites Marriott Ft Lauderdale Airport/Cruise Port the night before and took the free shuttle at 9:30AM to the port. This was the earliest we have ever arrived for check in. Had to wait on line for about an hour. We would be Platinum level C&A mid sailing so there was no pre-boarding benefit as Gold Members. We were on the ship by 11:15
Nice beach, but everything was extra (roller coaster, zip-line)
