Loved this ship the first time and wanted to give it another shot. The first time was a seven days out of Port Canaveral. We flew to Orlando and took a van to the port. This time we drove to Florida and parked at the Park N Go lot near the ship. Everything went smooth and the cost around $90 for the parking. The van from the parking lot takes you to the luggage drop off area. On the trip from the ship back to the parking lot we got a driver named Larry who was funny and very accommodating. Check out the small monkeys living in the trees next to the lot. Cool.

The check in time was noon and we got to the ship around 12:30PM. We expected a big crowd but it was reasonable time. It took an hour to drop off the car and check into our room and another hour to leave the ship and get to the car. I greatly suggest that you get the Mobile Passport App for your smartphone. We bypassed a lot of people in line who didn't have it.

The room was as remembered however the shower stall was small. You can barely turn around in it. Also there is only a shampoo dispenser in the shower. Take some conditioner. The bed was nice and comfortable. Try to get a room in the middle of the ship because this ship his long and you have to walk a long way from one end to the other. Don't forget the small shelf next to the large mirror.

Port Reviews

Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)

Fort Lauderdale's hotels are very expensive so we stayed in Deerfield Beach.

Costa Maya

Not much to this island. The shops are the same in Grand Cayman and Cozumel.
