A great itinerary on a nice ship!
This was our 14th cruise on the 5th different cruise line (Celebrity, Carnival, NCL and Holland America). We’ve always liked Royal and liked the southern itinerary of this cruise last year on Celebrity so we decided to book a cruise with the same itinerary.
We flew in from Ottawa, Canada the day before and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Miami-Kendall, which is near the airport but is much cheaper than staying downtown as the prices are so expensive.
