That is why I was looking at something with 1 vehicle vs 2. With 6, possibly 8 people I would need at least 2 ubers and trying to avoid that.

I don't expect help with her, i've tried but that is a different issue. Just trying to find a different mode of transportation that would work. I mean transfers are ok so we are on the same vehicle, but if I could rent a limo and spice things up a bit, that would be great. We have another party of 2 that is going on the cruise as well so having a 10 person strength where we might include them as well would be nice, but not necessary.

Uber XL would work for the people, but not the bags. UberXL, last I saw it defined, was like a Tahoe OR a Suburban. Subs have room for 6 people + driver so that is fine, but only rated for 5 suitcases if I remember correctly. So if everyone had a medium case and a carry on, that is going to be 10 - 12.

I agree. It is mainly due to the gf and trying to keep her positive, which is hard enough in normal life.

We are flying in on Friday, landing in MIA around 6pm. Cruise is on Sunday. When cruising, i want to fly in 48 hours prior just incase there is a weather/aircraft equipment/lost bag issue. This was you have a day to play with, just in case. I'm a little stressed, but still confident in Ubers and such. However, the gf thinks the world will end unless she can see everyone while getting from point A to B. I have a buy one get one for $100 airline ticket and we were going to have 2 people fly Friday and then the other 4 people fly Wednesday because it was $900 cheaper to fly due to the tickets. She thinks that no one else knows how to fly and that we have to fly together (personally I think I will be more stressed). She doesn't want two different Ubers because she thinks one will get lost/accident/get there late/ect. She is a real freakazoid to travel with sometimes with major fly off the handle at the drop of a hat.

Good idea. Wasn't aware of that page.

We have a rather large group of us on a trip, well, I think it is large. There will be 3 adults and 3 kids plus all the luggage. Most of the transfers i see are $20 to $30 a head so that is easily $100+. Other option is to Uber/Lyft but that will be $40 or so each plus the stress of, "We got here first? Where is the other driver?" This will be the first cruise for 3 of them and first real big trip for 2 of them so I wanted to class it up a bit as well. So I was thinking about looking into getting a stretch limo so we all feel fancy and such. I found one company that wanted $100 an hour, 4 hour minimum so that was off the table. Anyone have any experience getting a stretch to the Port of Miami? I'm thinking stretch limo vs a black suburban as the burb would have room for 6 + driver, but don't think it could carry 6 full sized suit cases + 6 carry ons

Dead zones happen. I completely understand that. You could be right about streaming classroom though. I could see a situation where they let you in the classroom, tech freezes up for a second so it kicks you off, then you can't get back in.... Could see that happening

Taking a couple kids and if we upgrade to premium Internet, will the kids be able to stream into their classrooms if needed? Is premium service ok to do that? Also, second question. I saw some place that streaming/video Internet is only available in cabins and not in common areas. I doubt that, but someone did say that so I thought I would ask. My youngest likes to watch Bluey during dinner so checking to make sure that would be ok

Any idea why the bed configuration changes? What's justification for bed by closet vs by the slider?

Can you imagine going door to door today with phone in hand with the latest sex offender address/map list?

I feel my post has been hi-jacked....oh well.....better the post versus the ship

Pretty much.... Just felt like I wanted to be sarcastic for a minute

sadness 😞

Yes I am. I feel that if I don't sell at least 10 boxes I don't feel alive

I wouldn't mind buying a credit every year or every two years for balcony room 'worth up to xxx amount' and then I could just go online and book something. I'm part of fabathletics program. You pay $65 a month and then get a credit up to $90 monthly. Every month they just auto bill you. I would do the same with a cruise line. They bill you monthly and once you hit xxx amount you have a credit to spend toward xxx amount on a cruise. If you pull out after only 4 or 5 months, that amount turns into a credit.

that sad....When we sold chocolate bars in school we made 50/50 with the manufacturer

One thing that doesn't change with cruising is the elitists that are better than others....

That is pretty much the idea i'm at...not sure if worth it... on the flip side...my brother lives in your town. that's just funny

Main reason this is even a thought.....we are trying to bring the gf's daughter. We don't have custody of her, the gma does and one of the excuses she is giving to not let her go is 'it is cookie sales time' No way would we be bringing ton of cookies, maybe 2 suitcases worth at most. This way she is still selling cookies. Also, the other thought is whatever room they take up on the flight down, would be emptied for various tshirts, towels, ect we would by for the trip home...if that makes sense. From the initial responses, sound like I can't set up a table and I understand why. i might set up a thing in my roll call and do some pre-sales there and bring those though....

I wonder if I could get away with going to my Roll Call for this ship and arrange people to reserve cookies and then distribute that way....

Really? Who you lying to? Truth is you would eat them all in the airport or on the plane ride home if they even made it that far 😝

I was looking at Girl Scout Cookies as an innocent little thing... but realistically, you are right. If they said yes to one thing, they would have to do other ventures as well.

Wonder if i could get permission.....

I'm going on the Encore in the middle of girl scout cookie season. Do you think NCL would let us set up a table for a couple days and sell cookies for an hour? talk about a captive audience. Maybe outside to the casino area? 🙂
