Headed down Friday night for our latest cruise. Fairly uneventfull, but it was reasonably bumpy. We were flying down along the edge of the storms that were crossing the country at the time. Stayed at the Hyatt Summerfield Suites in Dania for the night. Fairly nice hotel, probably wouldn’t be a bad place to stay for a somewhat extended period of time if you had to. The suite was kinda overkill for the one night we were there, but as I recall, there weren’t a lot of great options available when I was booking.
Next morning ate breakfast at the hotel, then caught their $8/person shuttle over to the port. Shuttle seemed a little disorganized, but ultimately worked, although I think I’d consider a cab next time. Passing the airport was kinda amused to see the Iron Maiden tour jet sitting parked near some hangers. Guess they must have been in town. Drove right by the front of the Oasis of the Seas as we were headed to our ship. That sucker looks real big when you’re sitting in a van passing near the bow.
Got to the port at about 11:30am, but ended up having to wait a little before we could get on board. They said something about having had to move the ship away from the dock briefly at some point in the morning and that put them behind.
The Oasis of the Seas sailed shortly before we did (it was the only other ship in port suprisingly), so watched them back up and head out to sea. We sailed just a little late, ended up watching us leave the port from our balcony on the back of the ship.
Nothing else real exciting for the night.
