Draft beers in the Caribbean are Heineken, Miller Lite, Murphy's Red and Newcastle Brown Ale. The beer page on the Bar Menu can be found here thanks to another member:

Yes, there are waiters in the pool area but I didn't find them as plentiful on other ships. This was actually beneficial so I wasn't continually asked if I needed a drink.

Bret

Doubletree Grand Biscayne Bay offers a transfer through a third party at $6pp. Great property right on the water.

Bret

Yes, they do have two formal nights. If you are on a regular seven night sailing, they will be on Sunday and Thursday. As you mentioned though, a wide variety of formal wear. Very few tuxedos...mostly suites for men.

They do have some great wine packages you can pre-purchase but I believe they are for consumption in the dining room only. I have seen a few folks carrying bottles but don't know how they got them. And as for water, you already know it's not supposed to happen but yes, numerous people on here have said they managed to get them on. :confused:

Hope this helps.

Bret

How about 11303 and 11305, thanks Jan (Netherlands)

Cabins 11303 and 11305 - Cabin Interior 191.8 sq ft (24.2 sq ft bathroom + 167.6 sq ft living space). Balcony is 95.8 sq ft.

 

can you list the dimensions of 9009 10007 and 11009

 

Thanks

Cabin 9009 - Cabin Interior 447.3 sq ft (35.0 sq ft bathroom + 412.3 sq ft living space). Balcony is 32.8 sq ft. This cabin should have a shower/bathtub combination.

Cabin 10007 - Cabin Interior 354.7 sq ft (35.0 sq ft bathroom + 319.7 sq ft living space). Balcony is 35.0 sq ft. This cabin should have a shower/bathtub combination and a double sofa bed.

Hope you picked 9009. ;)

I'm assuming cabin numbers 8137 & 8139 would be small. Is this assumption correct. If so, how small?

 

Thanks,

Cabins 8137 and 8139 are connecting cabins. Cabin Interior 191.8 sq ft (24.2 sq ft bathroom + 167.6 sq ft living space). Balcony is 42.0 sq ft. Cabin 8139 should have a single sofa bed.

Balcony cabins are fairly alike from Deck 8 and above (with some exceptions of course). The only smaller ones are what used to be the old Category 6's (now lumped into B1 & B2 categories).

Bret

Do you have information on the MSC Orchestra?

Unfortunately, I only have this info for the Divina. Sorry.

Can you please give me information about cabin 10256?

Cabin 10256 - Cabin Interior 191.8 sq ft (24.2 sq ft bathroom + 167.6 sq ft living space). Balcony is 118.4 sq ft.

You guys are keeping me busy! :)

Bret

Jenn,

According to my sources, it is available for purchase onboard though the cost will be higher. I'm guessing they add the 15% gratuity.

Bret

And since security is after the checkin so no places in line are lost.

Not sure we are talking about the same terminal. Maybe you to had to check-in at an alternative terminal in Miami?

Immediately at the doors of the normal terminal, security checks to make sure you have cruise paperwork and citizenship info so they know you belong in the terminal. They then send you up the escalators where you now get in line for the baggage x-ray and metal detectors. After that, you make a left and go down the hallway to the check-in area. Bottom line is you don't get to the check-in area until you have been through all the other stuff.

I have no idea why your experience was different. It definitely should not have been.

Bret

If you don't mind me asking ... what about 10057 ?

Not a problem at all Jenn! We're all here to help each other.

Cabin 10057 - Cabin Interior 191.8 sq ft (24.2 sq ft bathroom + 167.6 sq ft living space). Balcony is 42.0 sq ft. This cabin should have a double sofa bed.

Bret

You are allowed to carry luggage on that is comparable to airport "carry on". Reason being it has to fit through the smaller scanners in security lines. The big scanners for "normal" or oversize luggage are only downstairs where the porters take them to be delivered to the ship.

Homeland Security rules require that all luggage taken onto the vessel be x-rayed.

Bret

How about 9133?

Cabin 9133 - Cabin Interior 192.8 sq ft (32.9 sq ft bathroom + 159.9 sq ft living space). Balcony is 42.0 sq ft. This is a bathtub/shower combo room.

How about 12154, Bret?

Cabin 12154 - Cabin Interior 148.0 sq ft (24.2 sq ft bathroom + 123.8 sq ft living space). Balcony is 34.0 sq ft. Note: This type of cabin used to have its own category. Now, however, they are lumped in B2's which are 50 sq ft bigger.

As you can see, cabins vary widely. I've stayed in the smaller one (as well as larger ones) and there is a noticeable difference.

Glad to help!

Bret

How about 11301 & 10087, thanks.

Cabin 11301 - Cabin Interior 191.8 sq ft (24.2 sq ft bathroom + 167.6 sq ft living space). Balcony is 95.8 sq ft.

Cabin 10087 - Cabin Interior 191.8 sq ft (24.2 sq ft bathroom + 167.6 sq ft living space). Balcony is 123.8 sq ft.

As for the cabins that have the shower/tub combos, (other than suites) they are a handful of balcony cabins on decks 8 and 9 midship aft. As for posting it, not sure it is for the public. Not that there is any security issue but I was told they are concerned with liability, should something in the cabin change, (such as the shower/tub combos) folks may try to hold them to what was in print. Makes sense I guess.

Bret

I'd love that info for 13045 if its not too much trouble.

Not a problem. Cabin 13045 - Cabin Interior 191.8 sq ft (24.2 sq ft bathroom + 167.6 sq ft living space). Balcony is 42.0 sq ft. It should have a double sofa bed and a shower only. (Some regular balcony cabins have a shower/tub combination though they are not advertised.)

Hope this helps!

Bret

I'm pretty sure most of you knew that you could pre-book specialty restaurants but I wasn't aware of this package until today:

Cost for this is $214 for two. To me, doesn't seem like a bad deal. Just throwing that out there FYI.

Bret

If you are are trying to decide on particular cabins, I have a listing of every cabin onboard with the square footage of the cabin overall (plus broken down into bathroom and living space) and the balcony. Let me know if you need that info on certain ones.

Overall, I think B2 is a safe bet though some forward have steel balcony siding versus plexiglass.

Bret

I can only answer 1, 2 and 6.

1) I have been on her three times now in different cabins. Never an issue with A/C. You must remember to put your room key in the slot by the door. Otherwise, A/C and lights will not work.

2) All laundry has to be sent off. No laundry facilities.

6) Yes, boarding typically starts 12ish.

Hope this helps.

Bret

"...You started a thread just to complain about something in a magazine"

This could end up quite amusing. You took the time to make a post just to complain about somebody complaining about something in a magazine?

LMAO :p

Bret

I always use Hema Transportation. They have everything from town cars, to SUV's, to vans and actual limos. Not sure sure what their rate is up to now though. Their specialty is transportation for VIP's that come to Orlando so they are extremely reliable.

http://www.hemalimo.com or call Allan at 407-967-1990. Be sure to tell him I sent you. It might help a little. ;)

Bret

Nope, no reservations needed for entertainment venues.
