This was our 4th family Christmas cruise (all on different lines) and it was very nice. We had 7 of us ranging in age from 19 to 79 and we all enjoyed ourselves in 3 cabins, although 5 of the 7 of us are still fighting respiratory illness and we've been home for a week. We hired 2 Uber vehicles to get from FLL airport to the seaport and the price was $17 for one and $26 for the second with the cars being of equal quality/size. No idea why such a difference but had a similar experience with taxis for the return trip to the airport (in fact the larger car on the return was the cheaper one?).

Embarkation was a beautiful thing. One of the easiest we've experienced. Debarkation was awful!!! Seems too many people can't follow directions and get in the line before their combination color/number was called. There were only 4 customs agents on duty so that contributed to the very long line but he did not even ask us any questions, so I'm not sure why the process was so lengthy. Luggage delivery and collection was very efficient for us, although my in laws had to wait til evening to receive their luggage on embarkation.

The ship is a bit on the older side but was good for the most part. As usual, had problems finding loungers around the pool but really appreciated not having to check out the pool towels (like on RC, Carnival, and Norwegian). The screen for the movies was very nice but sometimes a little hard to hear. Popcorn was available for No Charge! (Yeah as RC charges $2.50) but 2 of the 3 times it wasn't very good. Third time it was good. They showed a large variety of movies/scenic pics/football game on Sunday/etc. No Star Wars but some relatively recent movies. (Toy Story 4) Read more
