I am sorry if this has been asked and answered, but I did a search and didn't find it.

Is there a designated line for suite guests in Tampa? What time do they really open the embarkation process?  We are scheduled for 11-11:30.  Depending on traffic, we may arrive a bit earlier.

TIA

I said they were in the back but were NOT on the aft.  We just got off infinity and were in a Royal.  it did not face the aft.  I consider anything facing aft to be aft.  Just my opinion.

What ship are you looking at?  We were on Constellation and Infinity, the Sky suites are in the back but they are not on the aft, the 2 PH's are aft.  On deck 6.  I don't know about other decks because we love deck 6.

Yes we did, we bid $5000 total.  We REALLY wanted that Royal Suite.😁  The M class ships have all their Royals aft.  Their Celebrity Suites are midship.

We were in an Aqua and bid on a Royal Suite and got it.  We were not given the option to bid on the PH on that cruise.  On another cruise we were in a Royal and got the option to bid on the PH but we didn't get that one.

Thank you so much!  Have always flown into FLL before.  I figured there would be plenty of cabs everywhere!

Has anyone used a taxi for round trip from MIA to terminal 18 to sail Infinity?  If so, experience please.  Thanks!

Thank you!

Hello!  Wanting to know if Michael's Club and Luminae are open for lunch on the Constellation on embarkation day!

thanks

We have an appointed time of noon which we will probably make a few mins earlier.  Not in any hurry!!!

Cruising Princess, thank you so much!  We are also in a RS and have private car transportation to dock.  Do we just get out with the bags and walk from there?

Thank you, I will do some checking , I am not in a wheel chair but just got out of the hospital and am definitely too weak to stand for an hour!

Does anyone know if Tampa has a designated area for dropping off Suite pax?  If so, can you explain?

Thanks

For those that have done the HCMC-Hanoi Mekong cruise with pre and post AMA pkgs, I have a couple of questions.

When did you first meet up with the AMA group at the hotel?  Night of arrival or next morning?  We are thinking of taking a cooking class on arrival day as we arrive the day before.  Anyone take a class at Hoa Tuc Restaurant, Saigon Cooking Class?????

Re: the City Tour, did they take you to the large market?  The 2019 brochure doesn't say but the 2020 one does.  

Is the Sofitel Saigon Plaza in an area safe to wander around, shop, eat, explore etc?

Thanks in advance!

That is great to hear.  We love taking cooking classes. We have done them all over the world during our travels.  Looking forward to learning something new.  Thanks for the info!!!

You sound exactly like us!!!  The pkg will def be purchased!

Thanks so much.  I appreciate your input.  Sorry about the Font.

I don't know if we will bring any wine on board or not, depends if we find a liquor store close to the hotel or port.  Looking at the wine list, the glass price of $11.50 for the Chardonnay we would drink can add up to $59 pretty quickly. I could drink 2 glass during lunch and easily 3 during and after dinner.  Might be cost effective after all😂

We are wine drinkers with an occasional cocktail now and then but we can have several glasses of wine during the course of a day and evening so the pkg might work for us😃  We are planning one all day excursion, but for the rest of the ports planning to either stay on board or just go walk around for an hour or so.  We have been to many of these ports before.

We are doing the Mekong river in August.  Can anyone comment on the weather, AMA's excursions especially the overnight on Ha Long Bay and the overall experience of the ship itself.  Also, if you did the pre and/or post land tours with AMA.  This will be our third AMA cruise, but I know the Dara is a whole different ship than the Sonata and Prima.

Thanks in advance.

It worked perfectly, thank you!!!!

AWESOME!!!  That is great to know, thanks so much.

Yes, we have had that prob on some of the other cruise ships.  On AMAwaterways river ships though, they will wash in cold water and dry on low if you ask!  They do a fabulous job!!!  Most of our travel clothing is the kind that needs cold wash and low drying.  I wonder if you can write that on the laundry order sheet?????   

Sometimes I can wash things in the sink with travel sheets and hang overnight and they will be dry!

Does anyone have a drink menu with prices that they can share?  We are trying to see what kinds of wines cost what and trying to make a decision on which Bev Pkg we want to buy.

Thanks for your answer.  Yes it is very reasonable and we travel very light also, but usually only send laundry out maybe 2-3 times in a week cruise.  The pay per item might be better for just a 7 nighter.  We usually do at least 14 or more night cruises, but this is our first time trying Windstar.
