My Aunt and I took the huge cruise...turned down the airfare as she lives in Florida and I was already there on vacation. The ONLY negative thing I can say abut the whole thing was that the travel agent we HAD to work through as it was a charted cruise was horrible.

The cruise was a blast. The ship was great -- we had a interior cabin on deck 2 (all the way to the bottom) and still loved it. There were also sales people on board, surprises me that more folks didn't take advantage of the 'free cruise'. Yes I know it wasn't completely free--taxes, alcohol, parking are extra. It was funny to drive 75 from Fort Myers to Miami and watch all the Kia's going down the road. There were a few highly annoying drunks on board but mostly just working class folks having a great time. And absolutely NO NO NO kids on board, that was a nice treat.

Thanks Billy Fuccillo! We had a great time..and all the extras in our cabins at night were fun-- bags, shirts, hats, toiletries, cups, Kia blankets :-)

It as HUGE!

The Fuccillo Kia store here in Greece, NY is running the promotion the entire month of September...buy or lease any new Kia and you get the cruise. While talking with Mr FUccillo he said that 3/4 of the ship was full with customers from the Florida store, so evidently his promotion there didn't fall too flat in Florida. And both days I was in the Greece store it was packed.

I see on Royal Caribbeans web page that they offer a transfer from about 12 different cities/towns on the west coast (from Tampa, Sarasota, Venice, Ft Myers, Naples etc)..wondering if anyone has looked into that and what the cost may be per person?

Just traded in my 2012 Soul for a new 2013 Soul (I hated the black color I had originally) today here in Greece, NY and got the free cruise too. The dealership was packed with folks signing paperwork. Even got to meet and talk with Mr Fuccillo today. Very down to earth guy, loves to brag about his son and Syracuse Orange.

I see cruisers already have cabin assignments so I'm guessing me and my aunt will be in one of the small small (no HUGE here, lol) interior cabins. First cruise for both of us and we are so excited. You'll find us at the hot tub and/or the bar :-)

For us coming from Rochester we are also getting free roundtrip air from Buffalo, so that's a super extra perk too. Just over two months to go..see you in Miami :-)

Anyone else from Rochester/Buffalo area know if we are on a chartered flight too?
