Had a great time on the November 10 sailing. we have cruised with celebrity and azamara four times and was a little hesitant after reading the reviews.
Used carnival transfer directly from MIA to port and found embarkation easy. We arrived early but comfortable waiting area.
This cruise was half the price than what we usually pay and we thought it was great value. Yes you must know what to expect. More lines and crowding than celebrity. More open drunkenness at times. Decor as hideous as expected and ship was getting threadbare.
