I am posting this a little late, because it took some time to get on the ship and learning the Wi-Fi system. Let me explain. We spent the first night after flying to Miami at the Biltmore Hotel and got up about our unusual time that morning. The bell man knocked on the door and took all our carry on luggage, remember the big suitcases were shipped and have been in Miami a couple of weeks. Anyway, I made sure we had our passports and boarding passes to get on the ship. About noon we loaded onto our bus to go to the cruise terminal and proceeded to stand in several lines from about 1:00 pm- 4:00 pm. I could go into more detail, but you don’t really care about my thoughts on this. Apparently a number of people, including me, did not get the memo that we also needed to have paper copies of our VISA’s in hand to board the ship. I had an electronic copy of the most important documents on my phone. I think we are aware of at least one older woman who did not have any VISA’s and was not able to board the ship. Talk about a huge bummer after all the planning and expense. We did get onto the ship, and ended up eating dinner with an interesting group of 5 other people from NYC, AL, MI, and Vancouver.
Good news that all of our carry on and shipped luggage arrived. Also, I got the Wi-Fi issues resolved and have access to one device at a time. Inconvenient, but workable. The Stateroom is very nice ( see pictures)
