  1. Thanks so much. I do love Greek food and will certainly give them a visit. I'm travelng over from New York and have decided to take a day or two to sightsee in Southampton before going on to London.
  2. Thank you, FionaMG That's great info to have. I think it will be the HI for me - first because it's the closest and also because I know what I will get (worldwide standards). But I'll check out the Pig in the Wall, also. I really appreciate your help. Does Southampton have tours one can take around the city to landmarks? Al
  3. . Andonini842, Since you live in Southampton, I was hoping you might be able to tell me of a hotel within walking distance to the port. Is there such a one? Thanks, Al .
  4. While I've only ever flown on Delta, I'm a rewards member with both and just received over 50,000 free miles to fly with, with southwest. When I saw above that they fly into Ft Lauderdale, I thought it would be a great opportunity to use some of those miles. I'm happy, now, to know that they fly into Miami also. As Zacharias said, it doubles my choices!!
  5. Thank y'all for your comments. They have been helpful. I'm liking Ft Lauderdale from what I've read but of course, if I get a good deal on a cruise in another port, I'm certainly not averse to booking it. I just thought I would ask.
  6. The shuttle would be a big help because I have no interest in driving to and fro, if possible, as well as parking etc. Thanks
  7. I have a cruise in November leaving from New Orleans but I want to plan a second cruise in March of 2023. One leaves from Ft Lauderdale and the other leaves from Miami. Those of you that cruise alot, could you tell me which port is closest to that city's airport and which port has hotels within walking distance. In other words, I'm trying to create as stress free a sailing as I can. Which is the least stressful port to sail out of? Thanks.
  8. I liked it too! We went to see it twice on board. And then, when we got home, it was playing at The Fox, downtown and we went and saw it there too. But I understand how it's not everyone's cup of tea.
  9. Thank you RockerDom31! Besides enjoying the pictures and antedotes, this was invaluable to me for the info on "The Key", alone. I'm glad you had a great time 98% of the time. I guess you now have some lesson plans to prepare
  10. I've seen that word before. For a relative newbie, could you tell me what it means AND do repositioning cruises automatically mean "discount" or no? As far as talking you out of it, whom am I to argue with Ol' Mark? He's down there in your signature giving you a shout out
  11. I was there 3 years ago so I don't know if they still offer this tour, but we boarded a bus and went up into the countryside for a tour of a 17th century sugar plantation. They also fed us lunch while we were out. I found it to be very informative and enjoyable.
  12. I just recenty booked a cruise for November and I opted NOT to take the insurance. Last night, I watched your video on the top 15 things you weren't sorry you purchased on a cruise and insurance was one of them. After listening to that and especially, after reading the above, is it too late for me to opt in for insurance for my cruise and if not, how would I go about it? (by the way, I love this site: it's so helpful - like this gentleman's post) and to RJM: sure hope you and your wife are feeling better!!! Al
  13. SpeedNoodles, I'm going to be at Costa Maya soon. I will remember that!
  14. LeeReads, I hope that you have a GREAT time with your family on your cruise.
  15. Thanks, Ashley. I was there once before but we didn't go off of the pier and just browsed the shops. This time, I want to "do something" while I'm there. It remains to be seen, what.
  16. Everide, Which of the three places that LeeReads mentioned is Maya Key a 5 minute ride to? I'll be visiting Cozumel soon and might be interested if it's near there. Thanks.
  17. Thank you WAAAYTOOO. While I don't like that answer, I appreiciate you. I've noticed you are very helpful to all of us.
  18. Hi folks, I recently booked a solo cruise for myself (because of the great deal I got). But now, reality is setting in that I will be all alone and I'm beginning to sort of dread it. THEREFORE, I am seriously thinking of booking a second room and having my friend from another city meet me on board. If I do that, do I book it in MY name (so I can get the points) or do I book it in his name (so he won't have any trouble). If I book it in HIS name, how can I get the points (since I will be paying for it)? Thanks, Al
  19. My friend that I was with had seen CATS before and like so many, did not understand what the play was about. Reazlizing that we would be seeing it again (Feb 2019) She researched the plot and that made a big difference for us. She told me what it was about and knowing the plot, along with the great music, I enjoyed it. That alley cat, Rum Tug Tugger (Dale Evans) was so funny and we went back twice just to see his performance. Also, "Grizabella's" performance of "Memory" was very good, although I can't remember the performer's name. But I was most pleased in having discovered Doug Eskew. He played "Old Deuteronomy". WHAT A VOICE! At the same time he was in CATS in the Opal Theatre, he also performed one night in the Jazz venue and this is him below. We did notice that the people just behind us, did not return after the intermission. But we, on the other hand, saw it twice on the ship and then when we got home, it was playing at The Fox in Atlanta and we went a third time. I think being prepared as to knowing the plot made a big difference for us.
  20. "We asked the port worker at the very front of the line where do Key members go" RockerDom31, I know this may sound funny but I'm new (relatively so) and I just want to know what a "Key" member is? How do I become one? Also, I hope you post something about San Juan. I'll be checking back. I have an interest in going there in the future and would be interested to know how you like it and what you did there. Have a GREAT rest of your trip!! Thanks, Al
