I can sign in and get to cruise planner and even excursions, but unable to purchase any!

Excellent! Thank you!

Google your ports or get a guidebook...find out what sort of things interest your family. The more you know about what is offered in each place, the better time you will have! Rarely, especially in those ports, is an "excursion" needed. These are very easy DIY places! Saves money, too...a family of 5 can be quite pricey!

Thank you so much!

Hello fellow cruisers! We will be visiting St. Maarten, St. Thomas and the Bahamas with our children (who all have never cruised - ages 18, 11, and 9. Looking at shore excursions and have no idea what to schedule. If you could share one of your favorite things you've done in any of the ports it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! :D

I see from your roll call posts you are boarding Symphony of the Seas on February 16.

 

President's Day Weekend is one of, if not the, busiest of the year in South Florida. Flying down that Friday you need to start looking for your flights, and deciding whether to fly to MIA or FLL, ASAP (pardon the alphabet soup).

 

If you find a flight into FLL that arrives late in the day it is best to stay near that airport. More transportation options Saturday morning than Friday evening.

 

Do you have a budget in mind? There are Embassy Suites location near both airport but will likely be $300+ for that night. The nearest hotel to PortMiami that I have discovered allowing more than four in a room is the Homewood Suites Brickell.

Thank you so much for your advice - we actually have plans to fly down that Thursday - but I agree booking now is the way to go. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much - adding on to that...do you prefer flying into Fort Lauderdale and staying there instead?

Hello all - this will be my first time cruising out of Miami. There will be five of us and we are looking for a hotel that has a suite we can call fit in (3 adults, 2 children). Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Good morning everyone!! Over the past two days I have been unable to sign in to the RC site - even requested a password reset and I have not received an email. Anyone else experiencing that?

Thank you in advance

Thank you so much - these are wonderful!

Gotcha! I know that now some lines aren't even offering a discounted deposit!

Thanks for the chuckle [emoji4]

Sorry - that would help! Grand Cayman, Belize City, Roatan and Cozumel

Took full advantage of $1 deposit to book my family on the Caribbean Princess and this will be my first time cruising Princess and the kids first time ever (9,11,18). Any suggestions of likes or activities you enjoyed would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you all for your input - I think the Navigator sounds more up our alley. I was watching the video on the Oasis ships - a ton to do but I think may be overwhelming for the kids' first cruise!

I appreciate everyone's thoughts and opinions!

Good morning! My family of five is planning a cruise during February break of 2019. There are various itineraries on Oasis class ships as well as one on the Navigator and one on the Adventure I believe. What is your preference and why? Thank you in advance!

I agree 100%. We mostly have cruised Celebrity and we decided on RC for this cruise with our kids. I never thought Celebrity would be the less expensive fare but it appears to be so!

I've had those issues as well. I've kept track of pricing for two ocean balcony rooms. Saturday they were about 6400, Sunday 6500 and when I checked today with the "sale" 6700!

Good morning everyone. I've been pricing out cruises on the RC site and I've noticed something that I wonder if any of you can clarify. Over the past three sales, the cabins that I've been looking for have gone up a total of almost $350. Is this common practice? Each sale seems to make the cabin price go up higher. Any suggestions on a sale that really is a sale?

Happy Sunday fellow cruisers! Looking to book February 2019 over school break. The itineraries that fit are the Harmony, Symphony (I know no one can comment yet on this one!), Oasis and Allure. It will be with my DH and 2 daughters 9,11 and our son 18.

I haven't cruise RC since 2001 - so any advice would be appreciated. Also are there times of Year that sales usually occur?

Thanks so much!

Is Symphony the only one available for 2019 booking? That's the only one that comes up when I attempt to book

Thank you - he'll be a senior then and my middle one will be in middle school. Seems easiest to look at break times. Thank you!

Last question - do you travel during school breaks or opt for missing some school? I'm going back and forth!

Thank you! Sounds like a blast! My son (18) has been stuck on going to Belize! Can't wait!!

Thank you all so much - I appreciate all of your input. I think the Caribbean itineraries are coming out this week for 2019 and your advice will be greatly helpful!
