Another amazing cruise vacation with the family. I never have had a bad time on a cruise with Royal Caribbean. Royal Caribbean is our cruise line of choice and they keep us coming back because of the great entertainment, food, service, and amazing ships.

Embarkation/Debarkation:

-Boarding the ship was a breeze for us. We were out of our taxi and on the ship within 30 minutes. Granted we arrived to the pier around 11:15 and had priority boarding and around that time there were no lines at check in. I highly recommend staying at a local hotel the night before. My mother’s luggage didn't make her flight and we were lucky enough to have came in a day early or else she wouldn't have had it on the ship to start our trip. Also it was nice to relax the day before and not have a long first travel day and be tired. Leaving the ship was not as easy as boarding. It took us a little over an hour to get off the ship, our luggage and get through customs. We took a metered cab to the airport for under $20. I don’t recommend using a shuttle service or booking through the cruise line the airport transportation because Fort Lauderdale airport is really close. Read more
