BOOOOOO!

I have never exchanged for Pesos for a cruise. Our visit to Cabo two years ago was for 5 days and that made sense to do so. I have one of my accounts with BBVA (Texas, Florida, Alabama, Colorado, & New Mexico branches). It is a bank headquartered in Alabama BUT it is a bank from Spain and they have branches in Mx. There is NO exchange fees and most like there is a BBVA in any town in Mexico (there was one in Cabo) so no ATM fees also.

I'm hoping @Matt will book some Group Cruises that I can actually go on and not interfere with already booked cruises & life here in Texas. Go Matt!! #2021

A 12 hour drive...sound pricey to me!!

Sounds like they are copy and pasting old schedules.

SIXT.com Rent at the airport and drop downtown. Pretty sure that have a free shuttle too. We also rented from them and returned the car to Orlando Airport for no extra charge. GREAT rates. we got a Mercedes once for $24 a day. rented at airport returned to 5th St.

look at 2:00:00 looks like a small area for those in Diapers

I'm an over-planner and see that a lot

Hard Rock Hotel casino is 2-3 mile for Port Everglades. https://www.seminolehardrockhollywood.com/the-new-hard-rock

when are you sailing? Maybe someone can report to you after they are on board? Enchantment had signage EVEN at the splash Pad saying toddlers must no be in any sort of diaper :( I'll be on in Feb. That'll probably no help.

That's the way is reads to me.

Cash is king

highlight of our cruise.

2014 we were on a charter cruise (Monsters of Rock...imagine that). It was on a different cruise line (rhymes with MSC). They did drink packages different. It was a deal, 72 drink TICKETS for $356.00 TOTAL. When we got on board we divided up. I was to go get our VIP stuff and the Mrs. went to the designated bar for our drink ticket. Well, bar could not find our confirmation...good thing I print everything out. By this time, I am back and they hand us a standard envelop with a large amount of ticket inside. There were 144 tickets in this envelop. Their mistake. Two nights later, the light on our cabin phone is blinking. We call....Guest services tells the Mrs. "We have your drink tickets here. Please come get them" She explains that we SIGNED for them already. They insist that we come get these tickets....NOT 72 but 144 more drink tickets for a 4 night cruise. SHOTS FOR EVERYONE. WE MADE A LOT OF FRIENDS THAT CRUISE!! 288 drink tickets divided by 2 people 144 divided by 4 days = 36 drinks pp per day or one drink every 40 minutes 24/7

I love it. For some reason it reminds me of being a little kid again.

We just take both nightstands (on most ships) and place them to one side and push beds against the other wall. Only one steward gave his opinion that it is more difficult to make the bed, but he accommodated just fine.

You are were you are in life because you want to be there. Doo Doo.

iI's sad because you know that 25% off their next cruise is just a shell game anyway :(

Hey I resemble that remark!! ;)

So, how did it go??

The starboard area of the ship(where the Flowrider normally is) looks like it might be an Amphitheatre of sorts. I looks like I goes down one deck by the way those window toward the bow angle??!!

Don't think to yourself (or out loud...lol)"I HAVE TIME LATER TO DO THAT"!!! Day 7 will come and you'll be like...Oh damn there's no ice skating on the cruise compass for today. Oh damn the line is too long for the zipline!! Bring closed toe shoes for zipline and Ultimate Abyss

I use these same exact ones also, but putting two of the paper ones on the luggage is a good idea. I never had the primary one come off, but I've seen situations where they have with other folks.

With the annual Monster of Rock Cruise (and my 8th) coming up on Independence of the Sea in Feb 2020, I was considering an excursion and the Cave Tubing in Belize looks unique. Has anyone done this excursion previously? How much walking should we expect? How long is the actual tubing part of the excursion. Is there any chance to grab liquor before we board the bus? Any other bits of info is helpful. Thx

I loved Seattle as a teen. I would visit my Aunt and Uncle in Washington and Seattle was always the highlight for me so when I booked an Alaska Cruise in 2017 for Sept of 2018 Seattle was a no brainer for me. I have never been or want to go to Vancouver. As an adult I still love Seattle BUT a couple grown up things that turned me off a little bit. Airport is WAY outside Seattle and even a Lyft was pricey. Speaking of Pricey, Seattle in a whole is expensive. $40.00 for two for lunch is not out of the question. I'm talking sit down restaurants for burgers. Hotels are expensive... use the EXPRESS DEAL option on Priceline.com like @Matt always suggest (single greatest suggestion ever) If you plan on Seattle a get in town a few days early...get the City Pass to save cash on sightseeing.
