    Right now they have a pretty good deal on their credit card IF you've never had a Southwest credit card before.  Spend $4k in the first 3 months and get a free companion pass for the rest of 2019.  If you fly much with family, one free ticket for a companion every flight you take can be a great deal.

    Wasn't there a fad in the 80's to wear multiple watches on one arm?

    Which begs the question -- how does one who doesn't have a day job fill the interminable hours between cruises? Model ship building? ?

    The end of a cruise is just the start of a new countdown -- 101 Days till Brilliance.  See what I did there?

    Once in a while flights into MIA (Miami airport) are close enough to FLL (Fort Lauderdale) prices to have me book MIA.
    Most of the time I fly into FLL when sailing out of Miami because even with an extra $50 for an Uber'Lyft  the cost savings is worth it (hundreds of $$$ cheaper).  Southwest only flies into FLL and with free checked bags Southwest is very cruise friendly if you book far enough out to get the good rates.

    JennyB reacted to coneyraven in Changing Roomies on Board / Charges to the room   
    First of all, charges don't go to the room, they go to the individual SeaPass Card, no the cabin, so, it is easy keep things separated that way.  You have to assign a credit card number to each SeaPass Card to enable charging privilages.

    Speaking of the distance between Port Everglades and Miami, here's an interesting photo of a ship at Everglades, but if you look in the background to the left, it would appear to be a ship that just left Miami.

    JennyB reacted to tiny260 in Which Airport?   
    My recent experience, was that it was cheaper for me to fly in to FLL and then fly out of Miami. I fly out Saturday and the cruise leaves on Sunday.
    My cruise leaves in and out of Miami, so I will be taking a limo/car down from the FLL airport to my Miami hotel and then Uber to the port in the morning.
    The reason I did it this way was if I flew into and out of Miami my tickets went up by about $200PP. I don't know why or understand why, other than Miami may be a busier airport.
    So I didn't really answer your question, if money is not an issue I would fly into and out of Miami for ease of transportation to the port and or hotel/port.

    It is abundant in many types of shops at and around the port - in fact once you look for it you'll find it hard to miss.

    San Francisco beach is only a short taxi ride.  It is free.  I've only been there once but had a great time.  There is a swim-up bar which wasn't the greatest but it was fun.

    JennyB reacted to WAAAYTOOO in Riverboat cruises .... any desire to do one?   
    I would consider it...but there are no casinos on those river ships, if I'm not mistaken.  Can't be bothered with a ship with no casino !

    I've never bought any but know some who have.  Find a place in the shopping area and get some.  Shouldn't be a problem bringing in on board since it isn't alcohol.

    Just be careful and read the label and hope it is accurate.   It should have vanilla bean extracts and 35% alcohol and that is all.  It should not have coumarin.  Here is an article about Mexican vanilla and coumarin.

    Bring ziplock bags to make sure it doesn't leak on its way home.

    Yes, it is sort of like the Magic Bands in that you can purchase with them and get in/out of your room. You will still need your seapass card to get on/off the ship.  And it's $5 if you are not in a JS or above.  But Indy doesn't have them (you mentioned that was your next cruise).  Only Harmony/Symphony and Quantum class ships at the moment.

    Well the @twangster is very elusive and you will need to work harder to catch a rare picture opportunity of him , here is how : 
    First, go to all the bars on the ship and order Kraken rum until the barman will tell you he don not have anymore. Be sure to buy one bottle for later , you will need it.  Second collect some diet coke from the vending machine.  Wait until  4 am a, leave the bottle of rum and the diet coke on the pool deck were it is visible from an excellent photo ops location, it might help if you will hang  near the bottle a sign saying "the best Voom reception point on the ship"  . Now all you need to do is to wait and cross you fingers, with some luck you might catch a glance of his shadow.
    Good luck.

    No-elevator-rule means we don't use the elevator at all. Only allowed exemptions are travelling with luggage and -  since yesterday - when wearing heels.
    Unfortunately no sighting of the twangster bot yet. Will only take and post a picture if he allows it, don't want to risk his bot status ?

    Thanks for all the kind words, love to do this kind of interactive. Actually, the blogging is fun and not a burden. Will be nice ro relive this once post-cruise depression kicks in. Currently waiting for hubby to upload the pictures on the laptop. I'm way too clumsy to type the whole thing on the phone ?

    Nope, that threw me for a loop, too! It's a dry slide, and based on @twangster's photos it seems you go down using some kind of sack or cloth to sit on and put your feet in. Reminds me of the Giant Slide at Dutch Wonderland in PA.
    Fun Fact -- On one of the group cruises that sailed on Harmony, the gang doing the pub crawl used the Ultimate Abyss to get down to the next bar on the route! ?

    They are now only complimentary in suites, otherwise $5 each, unless you can trade in one from a past cruise.
