Last year we did the same week but on the Divina, Yacht Club. Enjoyed so much, we came home and booked a suite on Seaside. Arriving to the Port of Miami is nothing new to us but we passed the Yacht Club tent as it was now previous to general luggage drop off. We parked and took our luggage to the tent. So much confusion, the "butlers", and that is a generous term, seemed harried. Off we went with another couple to enter the terminal and into the Black status security line. No special Yacht Club screening, which is fine but not what was previously experienced nor expected. Once through, we were shown into a large room with many other YC guests waiting around. Two desk personnel to check-in the YC guests. A group of about 16 were called together and shown onto the ship. From there we went into the YC cocktail area and told to be seated. This was well over an hour from when we first arrived to the terminal. It was getting late, so a waiter showed us to our suite so we could have time to have lunch before the DR closed.

Our suite on deck 16 was very spacious compared to Divina. Gone is the W/I closet and that space is used to benefit the bathroom with large rainhead shower and long vanity counter. Huge mirror over cabin vanity with a matching TV, largest seen on a ship. A true king sized bed with a partition between bed and couch with oval table. Two closets so guests don't get in each other's way a plus, too. The balcony is much larger but wasted as there are two small chairs, without high backs, and one ottoman. No table. Nespresso machine a nice touch if that's your thing for Espresso. Mini bar adequately stocked to your desire. Unknown to us, 16015, has an access glass door to the hallway. It really didn't bother us as closure was a very soft bang and would only interupt the lightest sleeper.

The pool area is very nice. The pool staff is probably best ever had on a ship. Two hot tubs, never really hot, are away from the pool so that's nice when kids are playing in the pool. Now there are Cabanas for rent. Seriously? We were comped one day by YC manager and although nice, not anything over the top. Don't waste your money. Read more
