  1. National Express bus direct from Terminal 2/3 also makes a stop at T5. Depending on which hotel you choose & amt of luggage, either walk (Moxy w/ carryon only) or uber. Uber was £5.68 from Moxy to port. That'll be a repeat for me Fall 2024 as well
  2. Uber was £5.68 last September so why not just make it easy and do that?
  3. @MissP22 no. Actually the Patter was woefully incomplete as some thing were on the app / screens near elevators but not in the Patter. 1st time I experienced that FWIW I showed up 20 minutes early for Silliness but on time for the other shows. Of course for the Theater I was willing to have an aisle seat on Deck 6 so maybe that's why I could be late (try left entry and walk around 1st row .... right entry is very popular 🙃)
  4. I liked it. Light hearted fun. No one left including those who were left standing and, in fact, it was the only production show that was repeated as not everyone could get in
  5. As in with puppets? Yes, skits with Jim Henson's muppets and production members dancing
  6. Thats how its been for me since they changed the program
  7. As I've stated SO MANY TIMES, I don't care about wifi and last 2 times I traded the minibar for wine I still didn't drink it all! My blood sugar is much better without the mocktails so I do whats healthiest for me -- regular water As to fitness 'classes,' the piazza has zumba and other exercises all morning long. No sign up needed. I still don't do that .... just run up to Lido Deck (16) then back to my Emerald Deck (8) & I'm good!! Twice if necessary to work off the previous day's overeating (totally possible). Not at the same time, I'm not that fit So what would I get out of Plus / Premier? Gratuities at 60 instead of 16 .... or a different cruise line
  8. There isn't a charge for regular (not bottled) water
  9. Why?? Standard option is a perfect fit for me. I like to unplug, the tap water is fine, and just have coffee / tea with meals. You like Plus / I like Standard / why is my preference not good enough for me
  10. I'm looking at the summer, enjoy your cruise! I sat at the raised bar so I had a perfect view!!
  11. I thought that the 4th production show (Silliness) should've been in the theater instead of Vista Lounge but I had a great view from the raised bar seating! Suggest getting there early as a lot of ppl stood
  12. On the Enchanted (sister ship) the production Muppet show was in the Vista Lounge. Is there also one on the Discovery?
  13. @dockhl after 3 maintenance crews tried to close the rear door (unsuccessfully) it was canceled. Then Alaska rebooked everyone on a flight into SeaTac arriving at 1am but failed to notify anyone, I would've taken it & spent today in Seattle. Love Seattle. Looking at a screen saying I could've even laid over in Portland (OR). Ah well. I'm back at the airport off to a 3 hr layover at O'Hara. With the same Xmas songs playing (over & over as nauseum) for a flight leaving in 4 hrs. Worst experience ever. No games on yet just 1 sound track. Hoping that changes soon --
  14. Still trying to get out of Fort Lauderdale. Hope today's flight goes. Changing back to United As to I95. Just repeated what we were told. Google it for yesterday morning
  15. Had someone ask me for my room # in Good Spirits to make sure she was charging the correct medallion. She had a few popping up on her screen but only mine had my room #
  16. Facial recognition and global were down. Then the announcement that I-95 was closed in both directions! But at least border security was in a good mood. Nothing like going Old School
  17. Its only about a 20 minute walk. So it took almost as long to take a bus?? One weird thing: they don't check for tickets on the train .... I had them (rt 5.6€) Off to another walk in Gibraltar. The whole colony is only 2-3sq miles so yeah .... short walk.
  18. For those in onboard activities: please rearrange playing locations as wanted!! I found a really great area on Lido deck near the marketplace for games!! Call me at 8433 if you want to move the group, or better yet, announce it at your 1st meet up!!
  19. Short walk from where the shuttle drops off to the Livorno C train station then 5.8€ rt to Pisa C. Walked to tuttomondo (Keith Haring c1989) off to the tower area (too crowded) finally off to some old walls before wandering back there way I came (-> Pisa C -> Livorno C -> shuttle). Thinked I only logged 5 mi
  20. Not only is it a new place (VISTA LOUNGE) it's a new time (10:30am) Please help get the word out! 📣
  21. No line at the Pantheon today for those paying in cash. Long line for those with a voucher or paying with credit card. But it's only 5€ pp so figure out if you want to save 1/2 hr or just drop cash. I was behind 3 people and the only delay was someone trying to redeem the voucher Ceiling is amazing!!
  22. Yeah I twist it around in my brain to be "room cost = ×" just like hotel rooms. Most hotels don't discount for single occupancy but do add an extra fee for 3rd & 4th person. That said, I book A LOT when lines reduce the solo supplement If I didn't travel solo I wouldn't be traveling and that's not happening
