What week will you be on the Symphony in April 2025? We are on a B2B cruise from 13th of April to 27th of April 2025 on the Symphony.

We will be on the ship the week before you get on. April 6-13, 20th Anniversary!!

Yep. I just booked 2 rooms on Wonder for June 2024 with a TA and it was about $2000 less than booking direct with Royal 

It was such a good deal I got worried I had been scammed until I found reviews for her on their website. LOL

And you probably got OBC too.

Yep!!

I used a travel agent for the first time, OMG why did I not do it earlier. Got me a rate about half of what I was pulling, can't wait!!!

I am sure this has been asked before. We had to cancel our October cruise because of daughter injury. Blew our budget with flights and bill paying for her, not complaining it could have been so much worse. We are trying to do late November 4 night and possible guaranteed interior cabin. Has anyone ever had a really bad or good experience with this option? Also considering flying in morning of into Fll but cruise is out of Miami. Any bad experience here?

Thanks in advance.

we haven’t done it more recently, but as the others have mentioned, it runs between $45-$80 depending on your luggage and passenger count. it’s very doable though. still cheaper than spending the night in some of the less savory miami hotels and be at one in FLL you trust/feel comfortable with for the same amount of money.

We've done this several times. We always do Uber/Lyft. It's about $80 one way when we get LyftXL (when we have the kids) and $40 one way when it's just Hubby and I and we get regular Lyft.

Great, thanks. We are looking at MJS travel. We plan on flying back out of Fort Lauderdale also, what would be a safe flight time?

Safemike! I did a cost estimate on Lyft website and It was $49 estimate if I remember correctly Thanks for all the help Y'all 

We depart from port Miami, but for flight and hotel cost we are considering staying in Fort Lauderdale the night prior. First good idea or bad, second if we do what is the best way to get from Fort Lauderdale to port Miami on cruise day, Lyft or something else?

I am looking to go in 23 to use the delta credit before they expire. In 25 we are blowing it out on one of the new oasis ships. 

We have 2 delta credits we have to use by the end of 2023. We are planning a Oasis ship cruise for our 20th anniversary in 2025, so we want to do a smaller shorter cruise next year. Keeping the budget around $1200 with inside cabin. Considering the ships in Grandeur of the seas category. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 

Our last trip we got the Beach Lounger for 2 for around $50. We are considering the Full Day beach bed rental for $160 per package. I see it comes with a beach float, what else, and it is worth the extra $100?

Thanks for your replies. This is our first Oasis ship, been on Navigator and Independence so far. Loved Navigator. 

Booked 4 night to labadee on Oasis on Nov 2 2022. I know 4 nights is short but we have missed our last 2 because of Covid. Any thing that are can’t miss on Oasis?

It will all be put back on our credit card.

How much do you want for them?

We were thinking $50 for the 2 if the buyer pays shipping. They expire 11/06/22 I can send pics if you decide you want them. Don't think  we will be planning you before then. 

Wife tested positive on Friday morning so we got a full refund. Drink packages should take 10 days, cruise 30-45 days. It was a hard Sunday morning but now the the ship will be back on Saturday morning kinda liking the savings account we didn't know we had LOL. 

Since we did not get to cruise because of this covid crap, we have 2 test exp 11/22 that we have no need for. Can I sell them at a reduced price on EBay or elsewhere?

Who knows Ed, it seems to vary. I had no idea it would win but I figured with lower occupancy it might work. 

Thanks, Anyone know how long it takes before I can download new luggage tags? Got the set sail pass already. 

Upgraded from Ocean View Balcony to Junior suite for Sunday cruise on Allure for only $300 total. Did not expect to win but glad we did. Now if we just test negative as the wife came down with a cold this week lol. Wish others luck if you try!!

Can you still bring on plastic bottles?

Thanks feel much better now. 

For those who have cruised during this pandemic. I most times have sinus issues, my question is if I were to sneeze in a public area will people scatter and security come grab me (just kidding). I assume you still hear the occasional sneeze?

Wife and I are looking at possible spa treatments. They are on sale now but a lot of the times are taken for the lower prices. Have any of you ever caught a good deal on treatments after cruise has started?

During check in I noticed my Vac card has final does date on back of card, however my wife does not even though she has had both and it is on front of card. Anyone experienced this and had any problems boarding?
