This is somewhat of a long review, but since this was our first cruise I thought I'd comment on quite a few things.
First of all, I would like to thank this website and all of those individuals that helped with so many things along the way. I would have gone into this with no idea whatsoever if it wasn't for this site and the many people who leave comments, reviews, suggestions, etc... THANK YOU!
We arrived into Fort Lauderdale, FL the day before the cruise and had the cruise & port package through the Embassy Suites. We were picked up at the airport within 5 minutes of arrival and whisked away to the hotel. On Sunday we get down to the lobby of the hotel at 11:15 a.m. and headed to the port.
