  1. Hey all,

    Any issues/experience getting UberXL or LyftXL from Port Canaveral on disembark day to the Melbourne (MLB) airport?  We have an 1130 flight out so don’t want to have to wait a long time for one to show up. I am considering booking a van instead but obviously will have to pay more. 
     

    Thanks in advance!

  2. Family of 6 here. As folks have already pointed out, 2 cabins is the way to go. I started with adjoining for a few cruises, but then switched to a balcony for my wife and me with kids in an interior across the hall.  My experience is it needs to be directly next to or across the hall especially depending on ages of the kids.  You usually need to have your TA call if you don’t split the adult names across the cabins. That way you don’t have to change the names after you are on the ship. As my kids grew into big teens, we ended up getting 3 cabins (normally 1 balcony for us with 2 interiors across the hall with the kids) as it really wasn’t much more $. 

  3. Agree that the ideal approach here is a button in the app that launches the pdf so you can easily access it.  Also needs to be available at least early evening the night before for those of us (certainly me) that like to read through the CC as a wind-down activity each night to plan the next day. It seems like this is where they are headed but need to tweak the process of each ship uploading the pdf and making it available in the app (which is honestly the easy part).

  4. We’ve never sailed out of Tampa Bay before and I’m researching for my oldest daughter going with her friends for college spring break in March. They procrastinated getting a check-in time (yes, I repeatedly told her…) and got 1:30 but have an 11:00 checkout time from their hotel and will be ubering. With strict check-in times, what are the recommendations to fill that time?  I’m thinking late breakfast either near the hotel and then get in the Uber a little after 1 or going to the port right at 11, dropping off luggage (can they do this early?), and then walking to somewhere for late breakfast.  It looks like it’s possible to walk from the port to coffee shops, etc. is that true?  Thanks in advance!

  5. 2 hours ago, Matt said:

    heard there was some misunderstanding between cruise lines and The Bahamas. Not just Royal, but DCL and MSC got affected too.

    I have no idea if that's remotely true or not.

    The whole thing felt like some kind of red tape gone wrong situation. But I never heard a proper explanation of what happened. We did get a few hours on the island in the afternoon but it was far from ideal. My wife stayed on the boat so missed it altogether.
