@raftmansky juniors on icon class ships have partial obstruction

Disney has had this for years. All I remember is it was more expensive that what I was willing to pay.

Just seen a news section where they were asking people about the new law where you no longer have to take your shoes off during airport security. Then they asked if they were going to keep TSA Precheck. All of the people asked said they would let it expire. I have Global Pass so I will stay in the TSA Precheck line and enjoy getting through security quicker.

Indeed. Disney has this in their ships. I’d also like to see golf excursions on some of the islands in the Caribbean.

12:05 out of MIA, will just do self disembark and get off right away. I have TSA Pre Check too so I’m thinking I’ll be A-OK.

ugh same. that’s why this will be our last sailing out of MIA. yes!! terminal A!

the MSC disembarkation (in AA) was chaotic BUT a lot of that has to do with the backwards design of their terminal — you embark/drop off on level two — have to go down to level one to collect your luggage — AND then get elevators round the other side to take back up to two to pickup a ride share. we disembarked on a sunday and symphony was also in port with us, so… that was something like 10k pax just at our end of the port. get off the ship early and you’ll be fine; the hardest part was waiting for a ride. once the car came, we made it to FLL airport in 30 mins. would have hated to try and catch a ride once the masses let off though. it was still fairly early on our end, around 7:45-8am. they released gen pop around 8:15 i believe. @Southern Dan when and where is your flight? we do the 11-12 window out of FLL and still made it with time to spare but have some priority screening options that get us through security a bit faster.

Why doesn't RC put golf simulator stations on board? I think they would be a fun addition to the cruising experience. I mean you have miniature golf put‐put on board. Thank you

Miami disembarkation is normally pretty efficient in my experiences. This is surprising. Now once you leave the terminal and get on the highway….. That’s chaos.

Any updates?

How’d it turn out? Did they let the kids in ao early?

Great pics so far!

My wife and I would like to do the supper club on star of the seas. From my understanding it starts at 6:30 but the adventure club for kids doesn’t start until seven. What do most folks do with that 30 minute gap? Thanks.

Yes, we had originally booked a 5pm catamaran excursion via RC. I think you will be ok for 10am but there is a mad rush at 7am. Play close attention as to how you get a tender ticket because the Odyssey staff was not overly communicative on the process. Since you are on a B2B with a RC excursion on week 1, you should be able to get the process down before week 2. Have a great time, it was such a great cruise for us.

I am doing a b2b with Santorini at both weeks. Week 1 we have a royal excursion-so no worries there week 2 we arrive 7am and have a 10am outside vendor excursion…. Is this something we would make? I see you mention not getting off the ship until 5 so you booked something via royal. Is it that bad? Please describe the tender situation for Santorini. Thank you!!

Supposed to say carry on?

Do you put your magnetic hooks in checked luggage or carry

Was the disembarkation horrible as well? Wondering if I should change my flight home to a later time...

@TexanTwoStep was this the type of letter you sent to Royal-I love it!! rikers-tell me you’re from NY without telling me you’re from NY.

Haha. It was suppose to say your excursions are loaded on it. I tell you I have to look before I press submit.

i love my magnetic hooks!!!!

i’ve heard rumors that they’re going to share AA with MSC and that couldn’t be worse outcome. it’s the farthest down on strip, rideshare drivers straight up ABANDON rides because it was just such cluster. my embarkation on MSC in april resulted in a 45 min wait time and three failed drivers before i finally got into a car. i am not looking forward to this

Normally the excursions are pretty punctual. Is there a chance to put the child into adventure ocean “just in case”? I’m not familiar with that program as my kids are grown

i suspect it would depend on the ship/class. for instance, on oasis class, a lot of the sky junior suites are on deck 6. for us we prefer a higher deck, so this is not a desirable location to us.

we love a quality marg!!!!!!
