Thank you - princeton123211 - CruiserBruce - KeepCalmBear0 -
from your responses I can tell planning a cruise/Aluani trip to Hawaii is going to be very different from planning a cruise trip out of Fl.
This trip will only be for my husband and I as we are celebrating our 50th anniversary. We are thinking of a one night stay at an easily accessible port hotel the night before we board the Pride of America for a b2b cruise. Then we are planning a 4 night stay at Aluani before flying home.
a hotel under $500 a night would be nice.
plans only include a dinner at this point, but timing of our arrival into Honolulu (and other planned activities) are up in the air as airlines don’t have schedules available this far out.

Personally any time I'm in Honolulu we stay at Waikiki which is where most of the walkable tourist things are. There are more budget options all the way to 5 star luxury. It's impossible to make an sort of even general recs without more info from you.
22 hours ago, CruiserBruce said:Agree. There are many hotels to choose from, all sorts of qualities. However, there aren't many "near...the cruise port". You want to be in Waikiki.
Do a search around this board, there are many threads on the topic.

I called customer service and her response was “book it now, see what happens after you board”. I told her several times we do not want sushi, would prefer teppanyaki

We were guaranteed full refund if we don’t get a balcony cabin or above at a price we find acceptable.

Has anyone been put on a wait list for a cruise?
we tried to book a very last minute cruise for the 18th today. I was told no balcony cabins were currently available, but we could go on to a waitlist with a $500 deposit.
Please tell me your experience with a waitlist booking.

Yes, Howl will be available.
I’m sailing December 10th and 17th on Escape. On another site (that we can’t mention) one of the performers has introduced themselves saying they will be on both cruises.

IF IT IS STILL REQUIRED IN DECEMBER
where can we get the COVID test before cruising?
we are flying into Orlando a few days before our cruise and we’ll be outside the time limit to arrange test before we fly.

When I asked John he stated that July cruises would NOT have a Chef’s table.
-
Sorry - I left my post very general as we will travel almost anywhere in Miami - good way to see the city / unless the price is $100 for the entree we’re open / cuisine can be anything except the new pizza I saw today made with cicada’s as a topping / we are just looking for GOOD food
thanks to all who replied
-
We will be in Miami for a few days before cruise. Any recommendations for restaurants?
-
Has anyone been able to make reservations for chefs table for July sailings?
-
Called about a cabana rental for our January cruise and was told that there are no small cabanas available due to the beach expansion construction project. There will be large cabanas available, but associate told me to Check on line or call daily to check when they will be released for rental.
-
I also add my thanks for your review of the Encore. I thoroughly enjoyed all of it! My spouse and I will be boarding her in January and your review has gone a long way in our planning for our cruise.

Thanks for the reply’s abs suggestions. Our group grew to 14, the hotel arranged for their shuttle service to do a special run just for our group at 9:00am.

Group of 12 with lots of luggage need shuttle to Port of Miami for a NCL cruise.
need to leave Cambria Hotel and Suites by 9:00am for arrival at Port by 9:30am
recommendations please
what i know so far
Uber says basic rate is usually $15.00 per couple per car.
Surge pricing will almost definitely be in effect and cost could jump to $40 per couple per car.
Hotel has shuttle but it doesn’t start runs until 10:30
