Probably. Airport arrival for international flights out of the US is generally three hours or so. You could very well clear immigration on landing at Pearson and not on the US side.

Except be really careful not to damage the door. We've come close to damaging a hinge or two.

1) Stay somewhere else. Dania Beach may be far enough. Or you may need to "head West, young man...." 2) Move your cruise.

Navigating the Pinnacle ships is generally pretty easy. Music Walk is forward, just aft of the World Stage. Some of the shops are on the starboard side The Pinnacle Grill and Rudi's specialty restaurants are a bit further aft. Ocean Bar is on the starboard side. The main dining room (non-scheduled seating) is at the aft. Deck 3 forward is the World Stage, with the casino immediately to the aft. The art gallery is next (bow to stern) on the port side. More shops are on the starboard side. Next, the port side has the upstairs part of BB Kings. At the atrium, you'll find the Grand Dutch Cafe on the starboard side, Walking aft is the photo center, and all the way at the stern is the upstairs main dining room.

There are no free inter terminal shuttles provided by Port Everglades. Your options include asking your cruise line for assistance (Celebrity and RCL are related companies), taxi, and ride share.

You could always split the difference and go 2+2, with 2 in a ride share or taxi. It’s a 15 minute ride. Both taxis and ride shares ate plentiful.$30 would cover fare and a generous tip.

For the ship to airport transfer, its probably easiest to book a transfer through the cruise line. They pretty much HAVE to offer a wheelchair transfer. It’s often a greyhound-style bus with a wheelchair lift, but could also be a wheelchair accessible van. If your flight is later in the day, the tours/drop off at airport trips will also have an accessible option.

The Brightline train runs from the Orlando airport (MCO) to close to PortMiami. Perfectly doable. e or driving are also options. By the time security snd baggage pickup is considered. flying isn’t going to be faster.

The OP’s concern is likely that the name on the driver license is not a perfect match to the name on the birth certificate. It may be a bit less of an issue if the driver license contains the full birth name as included in the birth certificate.

There may be still sufficient time to secure an emergency passport. A certified copy of the name change document (marriage certificate) or the original would be helpful.

You should allocate at least 30 minutes to drive to Avis, return the car, and shuttle back to the ship.

The answer is “it depends.” The Pinnacle class shopd have a number of singles cabins. A family member is sailing single on the Noordam later this summer. There wasn’t a surcharge from what I understand

The Renaissance Marina is pretty much immediately across the street from the Eisenhower entrance to the port. The Hilton Marina is pretty much next door to the east, on the Intracoastal Waterway.

What port? Canaveral? Tampa? Port Everglades? PortMiami? Jacksonville? West Palm Beach?

Leaving equipment outside the cabin presents a significant fire hazard and a major obstacle for cree and other passengers. Don’t be surprised if your scooter gets relocated and/or you get a call to move it yourself at whatever hour of the night.

You need to keep it in your cabin at all times. Leaving it in a passageway or a lobby creates a fire and safety hazard.

One adapts. A much greater amount of planning is often required.

We had 11147 eons ago and found it yo be convenient and quiet. As I recall (it’s been years), there was plenty of space (I was 170 lbs, my spouse was 135 lbs).

Fort Lauderdale can be a busy airport if there are slot of ships in port. Often, ships’ passengers are not all that familiar with TSA procedures. Add on to that, TSAPre and Clear are not the advantage they once were. There will be good availability of taxis and ride share vehicles at the port. Can you make a 9:30 flight? Yes. Will you? Maybe. Have a good plan if there are bumps.

Walking into the port is not usually an issue at the Eisenhower Avenue entrance, from a security perspective. The entrance is not exactly pedestrian friendly. There is ALOT of traffic, and drivers are not especially attentive. Be very aware it can be a LONG walk from the port entrance to your ship, and Florida heat and humidity can come into play. Safe travels!

Your TA should have booked your new hotel prior to releasing your Panpacific reservation. Unfortunately, from what you’ve said, they didn’t. I would not expect them to find a room. Alaska cruises are sailing full or more than full, and hotel rooms in Vancouver on nights before cruises and near the terminal can be challenging to come by. And if it’s a Fire in the Sky night, almost impossible citywide. I would grab something to have and then see if the situation can be improved. Best of luck!

Your service animal should remain with you at all times. Ship’s personnel can and may enter your stateroom for a variety of reasons, including verifying ship’s equipment and safety. Your dog could, of course, bark. There are lots of different noises aboard a ship, many of which may be unfamiliar to a service animal. If you left your service animal in the cabin unattended while you were in port, you might very well come back to the pier and find your suitcases and dog on the dock, having been unceremoniously disembarked at the captain’s orders. Of note, regardless of whether you go ashore or remain on the ship with the animal, you will need to comply with each country’s requirements for registering your animal.

It’s a one hour drive each way. Assume ashore @ 1:30, Out of rental car pickup @ 2:00 Arrive Disney Springs 3:00 Depart DS 5:45 Arrive Cape Canaveral 6:45 Shuttle to ship: 7:10 Doable, but not a bunch of wiggle room

The offerings have changed quite a bit. At a quick glance, I did not see the packages we used. There is an English option. I can read quite a bit of Italian. Most facilities, at least years ago, would not pre-register/sell tickets for the disabled. The big issue is determining how the queue is managed. On a busy day (like the day we were at the Vatican), we did not want to risk waiting in the standby queue to buy tickets, plus we wanted early access to the Sistine Chapel, plus we could get a much earlier start on the day, making more time for touring. At the time we went, no discounted pricing was provided for individuals with disabilities for special event tours, only for general admission activities, and only when purchased in person. At the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, we knew the standby line was going to be long, but we also knew to go to straight to a special check in desk that didn't require waiting in the standby queue and would sell immediate entry tickets to the disabled. I think regular tickets at the time were 10 Euro, with the companion free. The Ufizzi was similar, but a bit more difficult to find the right entrance. Again, we could bypass the ticketing entrance queue.

You'll be an in transit passenger. You will need to assemble with all other in transit passengers. likely in the theater and escorted off the ship for a quick check with immigration and to validate all passengers have been accounted for. Bring your ship ID and travel documents. The check can take as few as 10 minutes. Hope that your fellow passengers comply- it's all or nothing, and they won't proceed until everyone shows up. Once done, you can return immediately to the ship or continue to go ashore. There is a Walgreen's at the port entrance and a Total Wine and Publix supermarket several blocks away. It is walkable if needed, but be very careful about cars. Many crewman will be walking the same path.
