Has anyone won their upgrade bids for this coming weekend?

We are sailing on the Getaway on the 14th. We booked a standard balcony. We bid the minimum ($100 pp) for a spa balcony and our bid was accepted.

It looks like it had been added this year to the port in FLL: http://www.porteverglades.net/cruising/

We buy a sponge, cut it into 4 squares and put dish washing liquid on them. Then you have sponges preloaded with detergent ready to go and don't have to take a bottle of liquid with you.

I have stayed at the Embassy Suites several times. Never had a problem with staff or taxis. Their shuttle is $10 per person therefore for a couple a cab usually is cheaper.

Great! Thanks!

We sailed the Allure two weeks ago and stayed at the Embassy Suites the night before our cruise. Our hotel package included transport to the port. The morning of the cruise we came downstairs at 9:30 am expecting to get the first shuttle at 10:30. We handed the the ticket to the attendant who promptly asked, "You ready?" We left and was at the port in 10 minutes and checked in and waiting in the Diamond line at 10:55 am. We would have boarded on time at 11:00 am BUT... The U.S. Coast Guard pulled a surprise inspection and we were delayed boarding until almost 12:00 noon. But he good news was that the Embassy Suite shuttle got us to the port quickly and early! So early that we were one of the first dozen folks in the Windjammer!!

Awesome!! Did you have to schedule the shuttle ahead of time?

If you are leaving FLL on indy on the 10th or 11th or whatever, I will see you in falmouth :) I'm on the Allure departing the 8th.

We're leaving on the 14th, but heading to Mexico. Sorry we'll miss you. [emoji20]

Thank you all. Sounds like a taxi is the best bet. I read somewhere that Embassy Suites tries to stop you from using taxis. I hope that's not true.

My wife and I are cruising out of Ft. Lauderdale in January on the Indy. I have booked the Embassy Suites the night before the cruise and I have a few questions:

1. Do I need to reserve the shuttle to the port from Embassy Suites ahead of time? We don't get in until very late the night before our cruise.

2. Is the Embassy Suites shuttle reliable or should we get a taxi?

3. Our flight home leaves the same day that we return to port. Should we just grab a taxi at the port to the airport?

I appreciate any help.
