We flew in the day before and stayed at the Courtyard Marriott in Ft. Lauderdale. Coming from the Chicagoland area in February, one never knows about the weather and we did not want to take a chance of missing this cruise by flying in the same day.

The hotel was a short walking distawnce from a Bass Pro Shop and attached to that was a restaurant called Ismorelda's. Good seafood and it had a unique HUGE fish tank in the middle of the restaurant, which was amazing.

We scheduled a 10am pick-up from the hotel to the ship and it was right on time and took no more than 15 min tops to get to the ship. Seeing her in the distance when we pulled up was awesome. Since we were in a Suite, we had VIP boarding. No line at the port, just checked our luggage with the porters and walked over to the VIP line, which was well marked. All we did was show our print-out from Carnival showing VIP and we were in. We were taken to a waiting area that offered cookies and lemonade and water while we waited to board. We were delayed a bit for boarding as the coast guard did a surprise inspection. No matter, DH and I enjoyed the area we were in and we even sat next to one of our cruise critic members and did not know it until we got onto the ship

Cabin 4228 was great. Very quiet as it is at the back of the ship. More than enough room. Huge balcony! We loved it
