What can I say but Wonderful!!!! Ill try to keep it short, but its so much fun to share!!
Cast: Myself-39 DH-40 DS-12 A 2nd trip for us
My Sister-41 her DH-40, her DD-12, her DS-7 A 1st trip for them
Pre-cruise
We met my sister and her family at the airport. We used TT, Harry was our driver and right on time. We had a limo to a hotel port for $150 plus a tip. This was a surprise for them, I updated from a van to the limo because they used points for the hotel and car rental.
We stayed at the Marriott Courtyard. It is a nice hotel with a pool and a quick 5 min. walk to the beach. We were able to go to the beach in the late afternoon, but unfortunately a bad storm cut it short. The beach is beautiful and the waves were great. I highly recommend getting up early to watch the sunrise here. It was so peaceful. We ate diner at the hotel. It was lacking to say the least. The dining room doesnt serve dinner and the menu only has a few items on it. The drinks were not good at all (margaritas and pina coladas). We had wanted to go out but the storm was pretty heavy until around 10:00pm.
If you would like to stay here, be careful that they have the right info. Everytime I called to confirm and even when we arrived, the desk didnt seem to have the cruise package correct. You must request the package. It is $99 plus a free shuttle to and from the ship. Parking is free for the duration of the cruise. The shuttle is scheduled to pick up at 12:15pm. I asked when I registered if we could request an earlier time and was told yes. Well of course when I confirmed a few days earlier and when we arrived, I was told that we couldnt go earlier and that it was not free. Both times I had them check and I was correct. Overall, a nice hotel. More to come!
