WAAAYTOOO reacted to Luv2Travel in Won my Royal Up bid 60 days before the cruise!
Is this a record?? 😃 What's the earliest you've won a Royal Up bid?
More info: I didn't receive an email to bid, I used the "upgrade your stateroom" link in the Cruise Planner. The link was available 75 days before the sail date and I placed bids for maybe $20 over the starting prices. Received my "congratulations" email exactly 14 days later. Check in for the cruise doesn't open for another 14 days . . .

WAAAYTOOO got a reaction from Neesa in Speaking of ill-advised, bad ideas…
I haven’t done a Miami-to-Canaveral S2S but I have done a Miami-to-Tampa S2S, which is even further. It worked just fine. It was a long day but we got to Tampa and boarded without incident. We drove our own car since we live in FL.

WAAAYTOOO reacted to Cactus527 in Freedom for Spring Break - March 11-15, 2024
...and to make Freedom even better, I just booked another 4-night cruise in March 2026 on board. ❤️ I'll be Diamond by then, so I'm excited for all the perks I'll get for this upcoming cruise!

This would be more of a hassle logistically than just driving IMHO.

WAAAYTOOO reacted to OCSC Mike in Wonder of the Seas, March 24th, 2024
Thanks for sharing.
Sorry about the restaurant debacle but glad you enjoyed the tour. Sounds like you basically just drove around the island and saw stuff rather than actual stops?
That's definitely part of our plan but we do have a few stops built in. Between frugality and my picky wife, we're not doing a full lunch. I told our tour company (Rony's Tours) to just take me to a quick service type place, food truck, taco stand (whatever they have in Roatan) to try some local fare and move on. We're making an obligatory sloth stop for my wife but also going to Rony's home town and visiting a school there to donate some supplies since my wife is a teacher. We like seeing some of how the locals live when we go somewhere for the first time then after that we do more touristy stuff.

Neither. You should direct all calls for food you want delivered to your room to your Genie.

WAAAYTOOO reacted to Villageidiot in Long term parking
I've used them 3 times for cruises. I believe last cruise was $125 for 9 days. The parking is very safe IMHO, the only issue was returning on the shuttle last cruise. We were at terminal G and had an extended wait as their shuttles filled at the other terminals and didn't stop at G. But we got back to the car in under an hour after disembarking.

WAAAYTOOO reacted to Lovetocruise2002 in Air2Sea Questions
Their system is a disaster. Sometimes you get a confirmation email, sometimes you don’t. As far as not being able to pull it up on your app, that is new one for me. I have used air2sea for both delta and air Canada, and it shows up immediately on both apps once reserved. As far as paying for it, the air is linked to your cruise reservation. If you pull a new copy of your booking confirmation (either your or if you used a TA), you will see a new line showing the cost of air. You would pay for they the same way you would pay for your cruise. Both air and cruise fare must be paid by cruise final payment date.
A word of warning though, as one who uses air2sea frequently, despite my love/hate feelings towards them, make sure you pull a new copy of your booking confirmation each time you make changes to your air. They are not supposed to, but they have re-priced my cruise fare 3 times in the past when I make changes to my air.

WAAAYTOOO reacted to Lucky in What Ship Will replace the Harmony in Galveston in 2026?
Hopefully this is the case. I'm dying to go on Utopia or Wonder (again) but refuse to do a 3 or 4-night that goes to CocoCay and Nassau.

WAAAYTOOO got a reaction from Villageidiot in Long term parking
I’m going to be on EX for 23 days (Miami) next month and have decided to use Premier parking 250 SE 3rd St Miami (305) 220 2686. Honestly, I cannot recall exactly how much is it costing, per day, but I think it’s less than $15/day for the covered parking option. They have a shuttle to take you to the port and back to the garage. We usually just park at the terminal but $35/day for 24 days is just toooo much. I know that this option is less than half of what it would cost at the Royal parking lot. You do need reservations at Premier.
Sorry but I don’t have any experience with offsite parking at Port Everglades.

WAAAYTOOO reacted to fireclan in Checked In! And Photo Question
Just mentioning another option, which I have used for the last 10-12 cruises (hmmm, maybe more!) in numerous ports. It has honestly been quick and efficient.

Hope you get them back soon.
Based on our positive experiences we only see RCI through rose tinted glasses....actually probably not an appropriate phrase on this occasion... 😎😎😎😎😎
