I remember last Jan for FUN2 the check in process was a nightmare and so totally disorganized, it took almost two hours from the time we arrived at the port and in our case our luggage did not show up until after 6pm and we had to go find it ourselves so we could get ready for the evening. I have always preferred FLL to Miami, smaller, less crowded, etc and years ago it was that and very efficient, but not of late. When we came back from CROSS in 2007 same thing in reverse the disembarkation was almost an hour late starting and some people had early flights and were really getting nervous. Lorraine the CD was running around like crazy waiting for them to clear the ship and people were really grumbling and complaining.

My recollections of MIA are actually much better, they seem to have it fine tuned with all the large ships in and out of there, but we haven't left from or arrived into MIA in a long time, again they use local people and with the larger and larger ships nowdays, hard to say how it is. Guess it won't be long before we find out how it works for Regent.
