Is that the one by the river? When I went it was heaving, could barely move which took some of the enjoyment out of it, but you could tell it was still a class museum. Surprisingly small, as you say.
Staying at Cabana bay at Universal, would have preferred a a villa but it was a bit expensive for 2. Car hire included so will be able to do a bit of sight seeing.
The boat is the harmony of the seas, leaves fort Lauderdale, sails to Haiti, Royal Caribbeans own area, Labadee or something, then on to Falmouth in Jamaica, before Cozumel in Mexico then back to Fort Lauderdale.
Drinks package included, internal balcony facing on to the Central park section. Ice rink, two theatres and a Jamies Italian.

On pergamon - it's amazing. Can't upload pics but jump on my Instagram and you'll see them. The size of the thing is ridiculous and some of the shit they had from as early as 200bc is incredible. Unfortunately a lot of it is closed and has been from about 2012 until 2022.
We bought a ticket to museum island which was 18 Euro's and you get access to pretty much every museum in that area. Not even sure what they were called as we were just in and out loads but they all focused on mostly ancient Egypt and Greece (Pergamon being Middle East). In one of the museums it went into detail on how the Romans were fascinated with ancient Egypt so much they modelled loads of their culture and style on it.
Think the entire museum island focuses on ancient civilisations, looking forward to getting more into the more modern history over the next couple days. Really looking forward to seeing the east side gallery.
