I wouldn’t pay for the crappy pizza but I could see paying for the return of the midnight buffet! I could actually logic this fee especially if they resurrected the chocolate fountain and the elaborate ice sculptures.

tonyfsu21 got a reaction from WAAAYTOOO in Has anyone found any good deals on the ICON for Suites?
It’s all about timing and you are unfortunately late to the game. I managed to book Icon for 2 holiday sailings next year and the price wasn’t too bad for a new ship. I repriced the categories we booked and they have more then doubled in price which is crazy.

Freedom is awesome!!! I wouldn’t hesitate to book a 7 day voyage on that ship. The crew is great and there are plenty of dining and activity options after the AMP. We sailing her again in a couple weeks.

Unless you have an Earth Roamer, you shouldn’t worry about this at all. The large bus(s) used to transport guests and their luggage fit just fine.

Just pick your poison, they are all pretty much the same. There’s plenty of nickel & dime price gouges at these “all inclusive resorts”. I’ve been to 3 of the 8 you mentioned above and they were really bad to the point where we axed them as a vacation option.

It’s easy. The port will have vans running continuous from the parking garages to the terminal and they are frequent. Last time the lot was full I thought we were in for a hassle but it ends up being about a 10-15 minute delay in plans with a 5 minute drive in the van.

Really? Just mention the word “Covid” on this thread and it gets shut down.

If they start charging for the pizza then there will be no end to the madness. What’s next? Windjammer becomes speciality dining? Towels at the pool? Drip coffee at cafe promenade? Shows? At some point the nickel and dime mentality will have a negative effect on the bottom line because many families count on the “complimentary” options and consider this value when cruising with the brand.

Almost. The ACTUAL trigger word is "vaccine".

Let’s be honest, who would actually pay for that crappy pizza anyway? It’s great pizza because it’s free. Once it’s not free it’s on par with dominos or Pizza Hut. I predict they don’t venture down that road because Sorrentos fans are passionate about their free pizza and the relentless backlash would be too much for RC to contain.

Yep, you nailed it with this one utilizing all the key catch phrases!

Perhaps a hotel on Fort Lauderdale beach?

tonyfsu21 got a reaction from whitsmom in Royal Up - First time cruisers
Yes, I’ve been upgraded on boarding day after boarding the ship once but usually it’s 1-2 days before sailing. Royal up these days is largely a pipe dream so you have the right idea not holding your breath. Good luck

tonyfsu21 got a reaction from WAAAYTOOO in Haiti has a “NO travel” advisory
An armed gang looking to rob a bunch of cruise passengers of their sail & sign cards? Seems like an awful idea for a gang to trap themselves in an attempt to overtake a worthless peninsula only to be slaughtered by their own army.

If you want:
More beach then you are about to get on your cruise vacation: Marriott Harbor Beach, Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach, W Fort Lauderdale beach.
Close to Port Everglades despite the fact that everything in Fort Lauderdale is “close to port Everglades”: Embassy Suites 17th street, Hilton Marina, Renaissance.
Gambling/Party Vibe and possibly the best resort pool on planet earth (my kids love it): Hard Rock Guitar Hotel.
Close enough, cheap”er” and lots of dining options: Any of the mid tier chain hotels located in the Dania Pointe area.
15-20 Minute drive and a different resort/beach vibe and older crowd: Hollywood beach specifically the Margaritaville hotel. Great pool and close to plenty of dining options on the boardwalk.
Prices are heavily dependent on the time of year. The highest prices will be during tourist season from Labor Day to end of April at the conclusion of Spring Break. If you are cruising during that time expect prices to double or triple current rates.

Shorts 100% of the time. Vacation in the Caribbean = no pants. Nobody in that MDR cares what you wear. I’ve seen some borderline offensive logos and nobody bats an eye. Do what makes you happy and comfortable on vacation.
