Disembarkation and Return Home
We disembarked pretty early Friday morning with all our belongings!
We made it onto our GoPort transfer back to the airport. We did have to wait a bit for it to arrive, but it was MUCH cheaper than an Uber. If you're traveling to the port the morning of embarkation or to the airport the morning of disembarkation, we'd highly recommend. They do not offer night-before embarkation transfers.
our plane? I guess?

| I have no idea what went wrong ... but this was clearly a bad travel day :) |
 |
| Again - IDK what's wrong ... but I'm guessing AA did it :) |
 |
| Judging by the previous photos, I'm guessing we're excited here because we made it onto our plane? |
Sorry guys - I really shouldn't wait until 2 months after a trip to blog it!

Embarkation - Independence of the Seas
Wifey chose Independence of the Seas for our 3rd cruise because it has a Sorentos Pizza onboard and had an itinerary available with only one sea day which was the very last day of the cruise.
We started at our hotel lobby and loaded into a van with a few other folks heading to Port!
5 minutes later we had exited the van, dropped our checked luggage off with the luggage handlers and were walking towards check-in. Lines were minimal and we made it through with no problems!
First steps onto Independence! And a quick snap of the Monday Elevator!
We managed to embark too early for Muster so we started our vacation with PIZZA!!!

Orlando Airport; Cape Canaveral Hilton
Blog post written 2 months in arrears. Apologies for lack of detail.
On Feb. 6, 2022 we flew to Orlando Florida on our way to cruise to the Bahamas on Independence of the Seas. We were upgraded into first class IIRC resulting in seats that were one row apart instead of next to each other.
We immediately caught an Uber over to Port Canaveral so we'd be positioned close to our cruise ship embarkation the next morning. We'd been able to snag an 11:00 embarkation time by waking up at midnight to check into our cruise. Our Hotel offered port transfers for $8 each which we took advantage of.
The next morning we enjoyed free breakfast at our Homewood Suites by Hilton. The hotel provided gloves for COVID safety at the breakfast area.
Breakfast was pretty standard Hilton hotel fare. MYO Waffles; a meat, and a premade omelet. Considering it was truly free (we had paid for the night using points) nothing to complain about!
