To be fair this cruise departed Ft. Lauderdale when TS Alberto was in the GoM. Many activities and areas were closed Days 1 - 4. It seemed the crew followed that lead. Only on Day 6 - 7 did it become a good cruise but clearly way over crowded.
Our first RCI cruise. Bad luck or the future of mega ship cruising?
So where do I start?
Cabin Review
Ocean View Balcony
Cabin 6D
Excellent. Large, great A/C, great bathroom. Crew found a way to ruin it tho. Dumped water from above 4 consecutive days onto balcony rail, table, foot rests and chairs at breakfast time. No balcony breakfast or sunup views for us! Cabin attendant refused to assist unlocking our cabin door when we were locked out once. Had to wait for maintenance crew.
Port Reviews
Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Easy access to port. Although it's not posted just follow I-75 to I-575. It ends 1/2 mile before the port entrance. There are side roads on either side with the Cruise Port symbol. Don't take them. Just stay on I-575 (no Cruise Port symbols) until it ends.
Fast embarkation. We were allowed on 2 hr.s early. Probably because of TS Alberto.
