  1. I have 20+ watches. Watch prices are set by the manufacturer and haggling for a deal is difficult. Watch out (LOL) for the Invicta deals. 75% off sound fantastic but you can score much better deals on EVINE for Invicta . Perfect example, I have one Invicta that I get many compliments on. (I'll post picture later) I se it on the ship for retail $995.00. They offer 75% off. so it's about $250.00 out the door with no tax. sounds great. WELL, I got the exact same watch from EVINE for $70.00...in a set of three watches, all similar style totaling $210.00ish. I also have a Philip Stein that Diamonds International gave me for free when my wife bought a Mega expensive diamond necklace. Your biggest deal is not paying sales tax. You get decent deals but nothing is a steal. Go to the shopping seminar they run. My guess is it will be the day before Cozumel. They will walk you though exactly were to go for watches AND most likely offer the entire seminar group a free taxi ride to the shopping area.
  2. Hey folks, Quick question. What are the cabins numbers of all the Central Park Oversize/Double size Balcony rooms? I'm looking to book and the best deal for balconies on the date are the CP Balconies.
  3. A great drink that'll knock your socks off and tastes great....Red Headed Slut. Jägermeister, peach schnapps, Cranberry juice. You typically get it as a shot but get it on ice. A+
  4. Be careful with the Trolley. We stayed at the Embassy Suites (highly recommend) in 2015. The trolley stop is RIGHT THERE. made it to the port in minutes BUT when we returned, with ticket for trolley in hand, the trolley was not running until 11AM BOOOO...WALK back to Embassy suites to pick up a rental car... 20 minutes dragging luggage along the way.
  5. In the past I have had very heavy carry on bags and have just walked my happy behind to my cabin and dropped it in the cabin (Seapass was given beforehand) My steward was cleaning and told me I should not have been there. He really didn't care. I just put the 5 carry on bags (Royal Family Suite - 8 People) in the closet an walked back to the Prominade. is it right...no. Can you do it...sure.
  6. I was thinking a similar thing the last few months with our Labor Day cruise on Enchantment out of Galveston Tx. VERY little info is available on this site. I wanted to add more content for people looking to sail out of this mediocre city. I blogged the cruise but further more I added a bunch of info about this under utilized CHEAP port to sail out of. @Matt Is it possible to add a "TAB" to the message board that just says "PORTS". Then either sub tabs for every port or just let the locals make city posts "Galveston" "Miami" "Progreso" etc. this will make it easier to find info on a particular port.
  7. Is someone forcing perspective?? longest cabins in the fleet!! and doors that no way fit the closet they are attached too. Love it!!
  8. Never seen any lockers and never needed to worry about people stealing.
  9. We got one on our Alaskan Cruise on Explorer last Sept. We liked it...Especially our 9 month old did. He was able to sit on the seating area and just watch the world go by without us worrying like we would with an actual balcony. The noise factor is very minimal during that dance parties they have on the Prominade.
  10. You still got a small plate though....didn't you?? EDIT: you have more will power that me. It would have been a two dinner night for me!
  11. ...and just bring some Sorrento's with ya!! lol
  12. I'd love to try the Chef's table...I'm just too picky of an eater and it would be a waste for me to join them :( #ISuck
  13. Utensils parallel on your plate means you're finished & crossed like an X means you are still working on it, but severs don't serving your dish to the left and remove from the right doesn't even happen anymore on ships... so I doubt that would work for you. flag the table with a book or grab one of the crew or a neighboring table and give them a head's up first before getting up.
  14. My son witnesses something similar on our first cruise ever in 2003. We were on the Disney Magic and he was on the bow of the boat hanging out with Cast Members (he was 15). As I slept, I felt the boat stopping at 2 AM (Aft facing Balcony). sure enough Raft from Cuba in 13 foot waves needed help. Disney called the Coast Guard and back to Cuba they went.
  15. PERFECT, Saved a good amount of cash and definitely saved time. We once got a Mercedes from them for $19.00 a day. It was great!!!! have a blast!! One word of caution on your trip to Orlando/Disney are. IF your GPS wants to take you onto Route 60 to cross over to central Florida DOUBLE CHECK the GPS that there are NO accidents on Route 60. Two different time we had to back track because there was no way around the accident out in the swamps.
  16. I'm sure they have a shuttle. We took a cab to the nearest location to avoid the long ride and craziness of MIA. Also no Airport fee if you rent off site (away from airport) Address: 705 5th St, Miami Beach, FL 33139 Phone: (305) 808-3878
  17. We do this every year pick up at MIA and drop at MCO...Look at Sixt Car rental for this too. typically the DO NOT charge extra to drop in Orlando like most will.
  18. I would look into the Pick up at MIA and drop downtown option today and see if it has changed for the better. Try Travelocity.com too. I'd put money on it that it is better now. Also try Sixt car rental. A few years back they wee trying to 'buy ' the market with ridiculously low prices.
