We were a group of 14 cruising together. Most of us have cruised at least once before.
We flew into Fort Lauderdale the day before our cruise and stayed at the Days Inn at the airport. The hotel was not in the best area of town, but we made due.
Overall we had a wonderful time. On the ship our only complaint was waiting for elevators. That is really the only complaint. It was a fantastic time.
Big spacious & comfortable beds. Closets were tiny. Great views from balcony.
