Hell yeah. I can be at any florida port within a couple hours. Should I start packing yet?

Our first RCI cruise was the Majesty 4 night out of Miami. It was something I had always wanted to do but my husband was leery because he thought he would be bored. By the time we got off the ship, we were already planning our next trip (Bermuda) and another one that we would take the family. These days, when I talk a new person into giving it a try, We book a short Majesty trip and get them hooked as well. DH and I go on the longer trips for ourselves but I don't mind planning a shortie in between.

I like St. Thomas (love a bar called Palm Passage) and i like St. Maarten (Maho beach is incredible) on the Eastern itinerary. I really enjoy Cozumel (we always go to Mr. Sanchos and drink lots of tequila) on the Western itinerary. Jamaica is not my favorite port. Sooo, I guess I prefer Eastern!

Umm, we really enjoy going to Margaritaville anytime we stop in a port that has one.

I also get there as early as possible.

Although it's a PIA to get there, sailing out of Port Canaveral is really easy. The local hotels are really close and easy access is always good. Boarding the Freedom took all of 15 minutes on our last trip.
