We are booked for two cruises out of FLL this January with two days hotel stay in between. We just booked EZair flights under the second cruise, round trip arriving in FLL ten days early to cover both cruises. No muss, no fuss. Did this last year as well no problem.

Regal all day and twice on Sunday. Will never set foot on Caribbean Princess again. 😂

😂 I’m glad you saw that thread too, and that you clearly took it with the much needed grain of salt. I’ll admit it also bummed me out momentarily and I scampered off to see if there was something else available I might like better…but no, I reminded myself that a new ship will be fun, chlorine reek or no. I also think our fellow cruisers will be different from the normal Caribbean drunks, er, folks. I like the idea of leaving Fort Lauderdale behind and not seeing it again for 2 weeks. (Oh I really hope I don’t eat those words. Last time we attempted the Circle Caribbean was on the noro-infested Caribbean Princess which was denied port access on two islands before having to scuttle the entire thing and return to Everglades after just 11 days). 🫣 On that positive note I will say I look forward to meeting you and your better half on board. I’m sure it will be a great time but even a crap cruise can be fun and lead to wonderful memories and ridiculous stories, which are the best after all.

So much fun! You have me convinced (of what I cannot say). 😂

As dog said, the shore excursions were on sale for a limited time and now back to original pricing. I’d bet you first checked and they happened to be on sale and have now gone back to original pricing. I refared our Princess excursion during the sale and saved $40 each. That would definitely be a difference you would notice!

A couple years ago we grabbed a group taxi that stopped first at Emerald Beach and dropped the other few folks off, the. Took us to Crown Bay where we caught the water taxi over. Had pre-reserved a golf cart on Water Island and spent a fun day driving around and checking everything out. We were the only people from our ship (or maybe any ship) and had the place mostly to ourselves (save the beach which was a bit busier). As above, you need to get off the ship and go first thing. The water taxi fills up quick and it was first come/first serve.

Britter16 forgot to ask…how did you know this was going to be offered? I figure we will just check with passenger services when we get on the first ship but curious if we need to initiate (if it will happen at all in our particular instance).

Great info guys, knew I could count on you. 🫶

Hi all, I searched the first ten pages manually but saw nothing that seemed to meet my needs…we have decided to do a 7-day on Sky next year followed immediately by a 10-day on Enchanted. Seems simple enough to disembark the first one then taxi on around to the next one. If memory serves I don’t think there’s any way to walk our stuff between ships (without ending up in port jail). Anyone done this ship-jumping who can shed light on how it went? If there are any stumbling blocks I’m not anticipating, I’d appreciate knowing. My DH will be highly unamused if things go badly. 😂

Recently off Enchanted (disembarked 1/18). I went to the spa with my husband on embarkation day where he purchased the ten-day pass for the Enclave. We were told there were only 40 full-cruise passes available for sale. He was usually there in the morning and it was never crowded.

We were on board with you for both weeks with a party of eight total. We had a magnificent vacation and everyone stayed well. Our experiences matched yours in the main. I can't recommend this itinerary highly enough, but glad we had been in "training" prior with lots of walking and exercise. It is busy, busy, busy and we are tired! 😂 I need a vacation from my vacation. Thanks for a positive and balanced review...nothing in this life is perfect but we had a perfectly wonderful time.

So what I am discovering is that even though this cruise would count as 2 segments, the FCC on board who booked it for us did so under one booking number. New customer service reps are very confused at my question so I left it as it was and will try "alternate methods" to achieve the desired result. 😉 In future if I'm booking more than 1 leg I'll ask for 2 bookings. The rep said, "I can't rebook you in the same cabin because it is already booked". Right, we have it booked. 😂 No sense in me getting annoyed, I know they are training MANY new staff and there are lots of roads to Rome. Thanks for you who responded so I'd know what I might be up against. Such a wealth of knowledge on these boards.

We are just back from an amazing 14 days on Regal in the Med. I can’t recommend this highly enough…what a trip! That being said, we have a 20-day (B2B) booked for next year in the Caribbean, but it looks like that will be difficult to pull off because of work commitments, etc. Of course I am going to call and try to get it worked out, but I’m just looking for info from anyone who has done this as to what to expect. I’m afraid they will make us rebook, which could be dicey and result in a huge fare increase. I want to brace myself. 😂 TIA!
