Enjoy this cruise, you'll have a lot of pool and beach time...very relaxing.
We just got off her on the 20th after doing the same itinerary of which we really enjoyed. The second formal night was Thursday after Costa Maya.
We appreciate your taking all of us along.
As I said earlier we're on the April 13th cruise and are also staying at the Riverside Hotel. You probably already discovered the Hotel happy hour deals as well as up and down Las Olas Blvd. We hope you we're able to take advantage of them.
I would suggest to stay where you are, nice location with easy access to buffet and rear pool via rear elevators.
Also in many cases your upgrade could be a downgrade in location.
The Hotel has several restaurants on premises. When we stayed previously we took a morning walk down Las Olas and passed several coffee shops and cafe's of which we visited.
We followed that up with a beautiful walk along the Riverwalk. Can't wait for our upcoming visit in mid-April for pre cruise stay.
