We always for up to the top deck aft.. and enjoy all the people waving to you from land.

Wait until you are on the ship.. and especially on port days..

I wouldn't expect the TA to be involved in the insurance claim..  It is a totally separate company, 

I hope so..

I have a quirky travel anxiety. Unfounded fears of being late.  My wife hates it.

Me too.. I never get a good nights sleep on the last night of the cruise.. I am usually up and ready around 6am.

There’s usually two decks for vaccinated.  It was like that on Navigator in December

ok thanks

So hoping someone can help clarify, sailing on Symphony and have my time dining, we are vaccinated, now online it shows main dining on decks 3,4, and deck 5 says (V), now for my time dining it shows deck 4, no (V) next to it.  Shouldn't my time dining be deck 5 for vax?  Just curious.

I am late to the party but following along.. love all your pictures!

What we did was took Cocoa Beach Shuttle from the airport to the hotel in cocoa beach, and then after the cruise we rented a car for the day, we had a late flight returning , and drove back to Orlando.

I'm guessing you should still come at 11:30.  You shouldn't be penalized for trying to get an earlier time slot.  Thanks for sharing your experience.  I have 11:30 for Symphony this Saturday.  I was going to look for an earlier time slot but now I'm not going to.

yeah.. our group is going to try for the original time spot, doesn't hurt to try.

Check-in time gets looked at by the folks outside the terminal letting people into the building or into the queue lines set up outside the doors.  These folks don't have computers and are just gatekeepers to the terminal

Oh thank you .. good to know

We boarded the Symphony yesterday.  Here is our experience.

We had a 11:30 check-in.  I was watching traffic to Miami from our hotel near the airport and travel times were running close to 30 minutes due to traffic 

On top of that Uber was saying it could take 10-15 minutes for an Uber-X to be available. 

So we went to the lobby at 10:30, checked out and order an Uber.  The car showed up in less than 2 minutes.  The drive to the port took 15 minutes.  A porter took our bags and directed us to the terminal doors.

Ever a rule follower, I even told the gentleman at the door that we were way early and he just waved us in.  We were on the ship at 11:15, 15 minutes before we were supposed to arrive.

We were always ready and willing to wait it out till our check-in time.  As always YMMV.  

 

Thank you for sharing your experience.

So on my upcoming Symphony sailing I had an original time of 1130am, then the other day my friend noticed earlier check in times were available , so the group of us changed it to 10am, which was the earliest offered, and then a day later we all get an email saying it was a glitch and we need to pick another time, well of course the 1130am time wasn't available anymore so now it's 1pm

But my printed set sail pass still shows 1130am ...hmm

I ordered my 6 pack on Jan 5th, just received them yesterday, no tracking info was ever given. They expire 11/21/2022

And stupid question (well 2),

are these being covered by insurance and

what are you paying for a 2 pack, 6 pack?

I ordered the 6 pack from emed, with shipping cost me around $180.00

Jiffy Jeff Transportation. We used them Feb 2020, they were great.

Good morning from Nachi Cocum in Cozumel. BeUtiful, 83 degrees.

Our Aqua 80s and Cats shows have been canceled.  I'm fine with that. Not a Cats fan and there will be other opportunities for Aqua 80s (HELLO DEC 2022 WONDER RCG GROUP CRUISE!) 

Love the picture!

I am supposed to sail on the Symphony at the end of Feb, and l am just going to sit and wait.. it is way to early to tell what is going to happen, I plan on waiting a couple more weeks before my final payment is due to decide.  

I wouldn't go with the 10:30am flight, give yourself more time just incase there is a hiccup or two.

Not using their site... Just got smashed with another set of fees almost as much as the advertised price. Taking YVE but getting beat up...

Oh well...  Part of the problem is its a Friday night and we waited a couple days too long to book... Advertised $106 Actual $224 add fees total $286

That price is a good deal compared to what I am paying for it next year. $336.00

Cocoa Beach Shuttle.. they were great.

I don't see it that way. The more testing, the safer the cruise will be. 

and that's your opinion, which you have a right to, but not everyone can just get an appt to get tested 3 days before a sailing.. not so easy. 

Seems like we are going backwards

inside cabin, way to dark.
