Went the night before. Eat at Seasons 52 - one of the best filets I have ever had. Pretty reasonable prices and nice ambiance. Read Less

1st time Everglades airboat ride, totally enjoyed seeing gators in the wild Read Less

We traveled to Ft. Lauderdale by Amtrak (D/W doesn’t like to fly) and then stayed at the Rodeway Inn Airport/Cruiseport. Simple to get to and they had a shuttle to the ship Saturday morning. Nice clean room. There is a place to get a bite to eat. Dinner was really hard to take. What can you do to a hamburger? Let’s just say breakfast was much better. I would definitely stay here again but would bring peanut butter and jelly for dinner. Read Less

We stayed 3 days at an older hotel near the beach. We've never had a bad time in Ft. Lauderdale! It looks like Port Everglades is finally upgrading their facilities, and their customs process seems quicker than normal. Read Less

Falmouth Jamaica is a port built for Royal Caribbean. They have shops to shop at. Not cheap ones. If you do not purchase an excursion there is no where to go. The taxi to Montego bay is $50 each way. or $20 each on a shuttle. But no one wanted to go so we couldn't go. So hot and just wanted to go to a beach. None near by. Labadee Haiti and Cozumel had great beaches. Labadee Haiti is just a Royal caribbean port with chairs umbrellas and they bring lunch to the beach. They have pushy locals who follow you and insist on setting up your chairs. But then he said it only cost a tip. What a crock. Set the chairs up or follow us as we pick our own chairs out. then demands a tip. If I'm paying for cruise ports why is some guy who is hired by carnival charging me money to follow me to a chair and demand a tip. So rude. If I ask for help I will tip. But do not push yourself on me and demand a tip. Cozumel was nice, Snorkled at Uvas resort for $15. Includes snorkle, fins, life vest all amenities( bathroom, umbrellas and chairs) and one free drink. Nachos were yummy but we did not purchase any other food. It gets hot here and I would recommend shopping first and then go to the ocean resort when sun comes out past 12pm. Had a massage which was $50 for 30min deep tissue. It was nice, being near the beach. Bring reef shoes because its rocky. Read Less

Love Fort Lauderdale, excellent promenade for evening walks. Read Less

Embarkation was very fast and easy. Royal Caribbean doesn't skimp of personnel, very pleasant and eager to help guides to help us with our luggage and check in. Read Less

We flew into Ft. Lauderdale a day early, had a delightful meal at the Casablanca Cafe and spent a restful night by the hotel pool. Read Less

We arrived the day before and had a rental car - visiting the beach. Our hotel provided a free cruise port shuttle, but no free breakfast. Read Less

Very organized and efficient embarkation. Read Less

There was no problem getting on the ship. It was very crowded getting off but it went smoothly. We were disappointed that there were no free shuttles to the airport but now learned that we can rent a car at the pier, take a free shuttle to the car rental place then drop it at the airport at no extra charge.

It was very simple and easy. Quick parking and boarding. They didn't even mess with my daughter's bag of food and medicine. Read Less

This is where we boarded. No complaints. It’s Florida. Read Less

Embarkation and Disembarkation were excellent. Parking full-service at Park-n-go was also exceptional. Read Less

Super easy embarkation - because we were in a suite we were escorted onto the ship at 11:30, which was unexpected and really nice! We stayed at the Hilton right next door to the port the night before and took a $6 shuttle over to the ship. Read Less

Very smooth embarking and debating. No problems with parking Read Less
