  1. Thanks for the info.

    We're on the Allure in August and were trying to figure out how to keep in touch with each other and more specifically my 14 year old daughter.

     

    I wasn't sure if the texting feature on our phones worked when in airplane mode/wifi on. My daughter and I just put our phones airplane mode and used our home wifi and were able to txt each other. I'm sure I would not get a "mom of the year" award if I made my teen carry around a walkie talkie(do they even make them anymore?).

  2. Previously, my daughter and I took a bus trip to Dunn River from Falmouth. We are booked on another cruise and my daughter asked to go to the falls again. I remember it being approximately a 1 1/2 hour ride on a small tour bus. I did not climb the falls (was afraid I would fall and break something) and it was a long, wet, cold ride back to the ship afterwards on the A/C bus for most of the tour group. Looking forward to reading others responses to the sail trip to the falls.

  3. If you are not in a hurry and can handle your own luggage you could ride the Tri-Rail train for under $5 each from PBI to the MIA airport stop; from there it is an easy $24+tip/15 minute cab ride to POM.

     

     

    The Tri Rail will run you approx $7 from PBI to Miami. The Tri Rail station is not within walking distance from the airport, so you will need to take a cab to West Palm Beach Train Station. The cab fare would run about $15. The Tri Rail schedule can be found here http://www.tri-rail.com/ , I am not sure if the schedule would be convient for your travel needs as the schedule is limited on the weekends and there is no train service on major holidays. In Miami, you would need to transfer to the Metro Rail at the Metro Rail Transfer Center http://www.miamidade.gov/transit/, The Metro Rail will take you to downtown Miami where you could catch a cab to the port. While the cost would be cheaper to take the trains, time wise it may be easier to just have a private car service arranged.

  4. I am doing a northbound cruise. Decided to spend a couple of days in Seattle first (Pikes Market Place is on my bucket list) then take the Amtrack into Vancouver. There are United flights from PBI to Houston then Houston to Anchorage flight. Most of the flights from/to South Florida into/from Anchorage involve 3 connections. I was able to find 2 connections, but it took some research on my part.
