A couple more questions if i may.....does the century have the sushi bar as an option for dinner? We love sushi.
Aft on Resort Deck.
You mentioned not directly above the disco - which "lounge" is the disco lounge on the century i see a couple which mention music, dancing and karaoke - and would 2 floors above be enough??
Yes, 2 floors will provide plenty of sound distancing...
What time should i emark to avoid the crowds??
The 'crowds' will be there from about 10:30 on. However, processing usually only takes between 25 and 40 minutes, then you'll be on-board and grazing at the buffet. Cabins usually aren't ready until around 1:00 or 1:30.
and when you pull back into Miami - do you all get woken up and have to get off at the same time or can you take your time?
Debarcation usually begins around 8:00. Those with earlier flight are off earlier. Those staying over, or driving on their own can usually hang around till (maybe?) 10:00.
What else do i need to know as a newbie to this??
To keep an open mind. Go with the mindset of looking for the good things. Experiment and try new stuff. Meet, mingle, socialize, relax, and leave the cell phone turned off...
