  1. Look at a one way car rental to the port. I know Hertz has a location close to the port. Good luck and enjoy the cruise.
  2. 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.
  3. I wouldn't worry about it, most people on the cruise will be more concerned with getting a seat by the pool or a good seat for the show.
  4. I've stayed at the Place d'Armes which is near Jackson Square and a block from Cafe Du Monde. Really easy to walk the quarter from the hotel. If you're looking for a place near the port then I would book the Hilton.
  5. Proud to say zero points. Casinos are too smoky for me.
  6. Just did this cruise and I loved the ship and the ports. Only change I would make is to avoid a school holiday week.
  7. They retake our photos at the terminal even if we successfully upload them. Don't worry
  8. If a lot of ships are in port traffic can be really bad. Might be easier to let someone else drive you to the ship. Parking runs $22 per day if I remember correctly.
  9. As GregD noted you can do this. Which port and from where approximately? How many days to drive there? Use one of the travel sites and run the scenarios to see if it is economically viable. Probably going to run you $200 - $250 each way if you are going to Florida.
  10. This is what I should have done. Had to get creative to make the Princess tags fit on our cruise from Sydney to New Zealand.
  11. Did the TA from Miami last year on Explorer. We really enjoyed the cruise. Just did the Eastern Caribbean on her this month. Smaller ship but still a nice layout. What do you need to know?
  12. We will usually pick our cabin but last year I found a great price for a GTY balcony on a TA cruise. Saved about $900/PP. We were happy with the cabin we were assigned. Did a GTY again this February and no problems with the cabin assigned again. For us the savings were worth it as we are usually ok with forward or aft cabin selections.
  13. Promenade after the first show in the theater. Solarium from 10 - 4 on sea days.
