Have fun Joel.

Living in Orlando is convenient for me to hop a quick 3 day cruise out of Canaveral and we do at least 2 a year, mostly on RCL. It winds up being a 3 day weekend and the drive to port is about 1 hour and the cruise costs under 300 bucks a person. We always get an inside cabin as we only are in the cabin to sleep and change.

I never drink fruity or frozen drinks in my normal life but seem to spend 3 days wobbling around blitzed on Bahama Mamas every time I get on a cruise. There is always someone in front of you with a tray full of them.

On a couple occasions I have gotten sick on them and swore them off forever, but it never works.

For smoking, RCL has a cigar afficianado meeting once a night although it never seems to have more than a couple people there and I normally wind up smoking on the top port deck and always seem to find other herfers.

Not sure about your ship, but RCL allows smoking on the port side of the boat.

Between the shows and the food, it is a real value in my opinion although I always give the casino plenty of extra spending money.

Have a blast.
