    I do not have a photo, but they are smaller than the family ones on the NA. After we booked 2 smaller ones for a family of 4, I was happy we didn't get a family one. 

    Were you able to make the cabana into one big one by removing a divider?

  2. Have any of you rented one and do you know if you book 3 in a row if you can open the dividers and make it one large cabana.  We are a family of 7 adults and two children ages 2 and 10.  We’ve booked Cabanas 3,4 and 5 for a Mexican Rivera Cruise in March.  Did you enjoy the perks ? 

  3. We are a party of 10 and have all requested anytime dining. How do we handle this? We’d like to eat between 6-6:30 each night. What are our chances? Can we book the same table each night? We plan to go to specialty restaurants a couple times also. 

     

    Thanks for for your replies 

  4. We are the 24 day cruise starting the 18th and the same guarantee cabin booking. We booked through a PCC. Did you? If so did they send just an email? We have never booked a cruise this way before, it is very uncomfortable waiting. Thank you:(

     

     

    I booked with a popular online cruise company.

  5. I'm going to go against the flow and recommend taking National Express. I have taken the red-eye to London twice now and each time arriving early in the morning. We took the National Express bus the first time and the Gatwick Express the second time because it was faster. The challenge is that the hotels won't let you check-in till after 2 or 3pm as they prep the rooms.

    When we took the quicker transportation, we dropped off our luggage and tried to visit an attraction but ran out of energy quickly and ended up back at the hotel at check-in. When we took the bus, we fell asleep easily and had a long power nap before dropping off the luggage for the afternoon out. We were then able to stay out till after dinner and were in bed by 9:30ish. It seemed our bodies adjusted easier to the time change with the power nap as we were out each day from 10am-10pm for a week. It took about 2 days on the second visit to adjust.

     

    We are in our late 50's and had no issues dragging our luggage to our hotel 4 blocks away. You'll see lots of tourist doing the same thing from Victoria Coach station or Victoria station. It's a lot easier with the newer spinner wheels.

     

    Where did you take the power nap if you were not checked in the Hotel yet? I can't sleep sitting up on the plane while traveling , I don't think I could sleep on a Bus either.

  6. We will be coming into Heathrow on a red eye that arrives at 9:00 am.We will each have a carry on and a large easy to roll suitcase. We will have two full days in London. If it's easy then I'm ok with taking a train or the tube. If I have to switch trains or subways then I'd rather jump in a cab. Could you share your insight on an easy way from the airport to our hotel (Lord Milner). We are in our mid 50's and pretty mobile! Am I correct that a taxi would cost about $70 USD? Thank you for any advice or suggestions!

     

    I received a quote from Simply Airports for a private pick up to my hotel in london and it was 36 pounds plus tip for 2 passengers. After a long plane ride from California to Heathrow I don't want to worry how to get to my hotel with luggage for a cruise. We did this last time and when we came out of baggage pickup there was our driver with a sign with our name on it!

  7. So sorry to hear about your friend breaking her foot.

     

    Thanks- her accident happened exactly 2 weeks before the cruise and surgery to fix it was 12 days before. There were 3 of us girls going on a cruise without our husbands- now just the two of us in a Neptune Suite. She feels really bad. We didn't buy insurance either- for sure next time!

  8. Thanks for all the quick replys! You are all so great !

     

    We are booked on a 4 night cruise for May 5 th and she isn't going to make it because she broke her foot last week. If I purchase her a FCD can she use it as a deposit for a cruise next year even if it's only for 4 days ? I understand she won't get OBC but I'm hoping she could use it for the deposit . Does that make since?

  9. After our Cruise and getting off the ship in Vancouver we have 3 hours to kill before heading to the Airport for the flight home. Any ideas on something to do close to the pier that we can do? Taxis are only $35 to the Airport and we hate to sit the extra 3 hours there. Our flight isn't till 3:15 pm. We will have some rollaway luggage with us.
