Royal Caribbean - Monarch of the Seas

Date: December 14-17 (3-day) Home Port: Port Canaveral Parking: Radisson Resort at the Port $6.95/day + tax (free shuttle) Price: $340 total incl taxes - Inside Cabin 6521 Ports of Call: Nassau, Cococay (RCCL private island) We have cruised Carnival three times in the past and wanted to try another line.  This short, last minute trip was perfect!  Found a great price and booked 8 days before embarkation. Embarkation Day Recommend making a parking reservation at the Radisson Resort at the Port .  Easy, cheap, convenient, and quick.  They have shuttles running pretty much non-stop and nice staff. Check-in and boarding was smooth and fast.  I think this is pretty typical with a smaller ship, but still very nice to not have to stand in line forever. Food Really, really disappointing.  The Windjammer was closed at odd times for set-up (example - 6:15 Sunday evening).  The food in the main dining room didn't really get good until Sunday night....
