After a 4 hour drive from New Smyrna Beach to Port Everglades my best friend Pat and I sailed through check in and were actually in our cabin by 11:45 a.m. We parked in the Pier 2 garage for security and convenience.
Our favorite ship activities included Zumba, line dancing, deck parties (I won champagne), walking the true promenade deck and relaxing in hot tubs and pools. There was plenty of great entertainment too. Tops on our list were John Bressler, Andrew John Diessner, production show On the Bayou, Dancing with the Princess Stars and The Voice of the Ocean. The cruise director’s staff included some very entertaining young people including Yris, Chris, Kiki and Emily. The skit they performed at the crew talent show was a riot!
We enjoyed one tour and numerous dinners and shows with our new cruise critic friends LaDonna, Darryl, Lisa and Bill. Meeting them made this trip so much more fun!
Great cabin. Quiet and close to the elevator. We never heard a sound from the kid's club or the fitness center. It is also a quick walk down the hall to reach the sanctuary pool (which is a public area, just bring your own towel).
We used Dora the Explorer for a private tour. It was safe, informative and very enjoyable. We saw the fort, La Popa Monastery, old town and more.
We enjoyed seeing Colon and the locks from the ship.
