This was my first experience of long haul flight and cruise, usually we (my wife and daughter) embark Southampton.
Following 20 hours traveling including 1 hour to exit Miami airpo rt we were met by a Princess representative to facilitate transfer to The Shula hotel for our overnight accommodation. Unfortunately this was an extremely shambolic affair with my family and our fellow travellers left hanging around for another 20 minutes while suitable transport could be found.
The following morning more chaos ensued with Princess reps not calling people to their shuttles and we had to keep a check ourselves, embarkation at Fort Lauderdale was very slow.
All the amenities were within easy reach of the port, very clean and picture postcard perfect.
A great experience both at the Ruins rum shack and our taxi tour into the interior.
Be warned taxi drivers are very persistent when touting for business.
Great for snorkelling so many varieties of exotic fish a few metres from the shore.
