S M A L L . We were three adults in a "Large" interior stateroom and felt like sardines in a tin. The bathroom was okay, bigger than I thought it would be when I saw the room. I also couldn't find where to place our luggage since it wouldn't fit under the bed, which reduced the space even more. Next time we're definitely getting a more spacious room

There was a blackout the day of embarkation and we had to take the stairs with the heavy luggage.. Other than that, the check-in process was pretty simple and didn't take too long

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

We took the tour with Albert, located in Nelly Beach. We had so much fun! We got to visit a nearby village and Coco Beach close to Labadee as Albert explained us a little bit about the culture and people living there. Definitely would recommend!!

Overly expensive for just 30 seconds. There's a small zipline you go through as "practice" and then you go up the mountains in a truck to the real one.The view from the top is breathtaking. I don't recommend using your cellphone in a selfie stick since it comes off very easily when you get to the end of the zipline. If you want to record anything make sure you use a GoPro or such device and make sure is well attach.
 It was sooooooo hot in Labadee, it was just exhausting. The day also felt really short and we couldn't even enjoy the beach. The local sellers are also really aggressive and try to hard to sell you their stuff and try to come into their booth.

Steve picked us up in the port, it was a little hard to find the independet tours tent but if you ask around they'll help you find it. Steve took us to the blue hole, which took little over an hour. If you're scared of heights, don't take this excursion because the ride was pretty impressive. 
Little T was our guide for the Blue hole. He was great and encouraged us to dive from the falls, which was an amazing experience. The water was a little cold but it was definitely worth it. The place is just amazing.They have diving spots from different heights and even have a tarzan rope.

After this, another driver (can't remember his name) picked us up and took us to White river for some tubing. We had originally booked for rafting, but the guide Robert recommended tubing better. He wasn't wrong. He took us a few miles up the river to a waterfall where we could swim and make some splash. We were literally the only ones there (three of us and Robert) and it was about 2 pm. Then we went down the river which was relaxing and thrilling at some parts. Somebody was waiting at the end of the river with a boat to take us to the beach. We didn't have much time left to spend at the beach so we left as soon as we got there, the driver was waiting.

This excursion was soooo worth it! For only $50 we got to visit three snorkeling sports (Palancar, Columbia, and El Cielo) and went to a sandbar with beautiful colors where stingrays would swim around us.Carla picked us up at the meeting point and took us to the boat where Ricardo, the guide, and Eduardo the driver were waiting. We first went to the Palancar Reef, the second largest of the world, where we saw some sea turtles, stingrays, and barracudas. Then we went to Columbia Reef,, and Eduardo chose the perfect spot because when we jumped out of the boat we were surrounded by fish! It was amazing! Definitely an unique experience. Then we went to El cielo, where we saw hundreds of starfish! They then took us to a sand bar with the most beautiful water I've ever seen. We had a couple of hours to relax while Eduardo made a delicious fresh guacamole and pico! They also had drinks for us like beer, margarita, soda, etc. 
It was definitely an amazing experience and the guides were fabulous! We had a great time

This was probably the only good thing about that port because other than that, the heat was too much (in March), too little time on port,  and the local sellers are pretty aggressive trying to sell you stuff.However, I do recommend you book all of your shows in the Cruise Planner several weeks before departure because some of them get booked pretty fast.
