What did you think of the porthole room? We are looking at booking the Ascent next year and are considering the port hole room since I wake up before the others and would like to sit on the balcony and read.

Make sure you get your luggage and take it with you to the bus. We just did a cruise with them in March, and I had booked the ships transfer from the port to the airport. The guy at guest services told me not to worry about my luggage after going through customs and that the ship would take it out to the bus for us. The morning of departure I went to guest services to double check what he said. Once again, he said for me not to get my suitcase, that they would do it for us. Nope! We got outside and checked in with the bus transfer and they told us that the ship does not bring your luggage out and that we should have gotten it ourselves. But since we were already outside, we were not allowed back in to get it. We had to stand there for almost 3 hours waiting for our luggage to finally be brought out after the entire ship was cleared and it was x-rayed and physically searched since it was considered abandoned. Then we had to catch a cab to the airport. Luckily our flights weren't until 5pm. Expensive mistake since between the ships transfer and the cab it costs us $100.
