Additional details
Just the facts:
Day 1: Flight on-time leaving city. Arrived in Fort Lauderdale (the Saturday before embarkation as planned), followed instructions to call hotel for courtesy van to hotel, only to find out that I had no reservation for Jan. 15th (even though I was holding reservation numbers for January 15th and 23rd e-mailed to me from the Smooth Jazz Cruise travel agent). That snafu was handled well. I was relocated to another hotel (Hilton at the same price as the Hampton Inn). Thank you
Day 2: Transported on courtesy bus from Hilton to the Hampton where I boarded the bus to the pier. The trip/transfer of luggage to the pier went smoothly. Embarkation went quickly, even though there was a line it moved quickly. Boarded the ship, had lunch/drinks met great people, immediately. Room was ready (with luggage delivered) in an hour. THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT VACATION!!
Cabin Review
Cabin 7125 was a quiet location, I never heard noise in the hall unless it was a steward delivering something I requested to my room. My veranda, although not as large as depicted online was enough space to be enjoyed by 2. There was plenty of closet space and hangers. The cabin was cleaned daily- stewards were great.
The turndown service was too cute (chocolates/little towel animals)!
