Additional details
Boarding was a qualified fast and easy - as Elite and Platinum members, respectively, my wife and I enjoyed preferred boarding that hastened our embarkation. The cruise terminal in Fort Lauderdale is not the most accommodating I've seen. It is little more than a glorified airplane hangar - concrete floors, portable chairs, little to no air conditioning. The weather in Florida was hot and humid, so getting on the ship expeditiously was a relief.
We had difficulty with our stateroom safe right off the bat, but it was repaired quickly (
Cabin Review
Good storage room, accomodating 4 large suitcases and 2 carry-ons without blocking any access. Air conditioning was good, as the cabin is far enough away from the exterior to allow the hallway to be cool. Second trip where cabin safe malfunctioned. Repaired in an expeditious manner. Water from tap and in shower wasn't cool enough for our liking, but to be expected on a ship sitting in warm water.
