Review summary

We really enjoyed this cruise. The room Issues were annoying, but the Retreat staff was amazing.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

There were no lines and they were taking guests at 10:30. We were through and right in the ship before our 11 am arrival time.

This was reclassified as a Sunset Suite I. The Revolution. The room was a great size, but the bathroom is a standard balcony bathroom, the balcony was small for the 2 chairs with footrests and larger Suite table, and there was a lot of noise in ore- and post-docking procedures, which made sleeping in port days a challenge.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Embarkation and debarkation were smooth. Parking was easy as well.

We did some shopping. I think things will be better when the port construction is complete.

We were docked far from the port entrance. We took an excursion to a smaller island beach - there were 4 ships in port and the beach was packed, with very few chairs available by the time we got there. Would try some other beach next time - but the snorkeling was amazing.

We just wandered the port area - cool aviati and animals, and a shop with a lot of local goods.
