If you'll be at Pier 27 the merchants run a free shuttle back and forth to Pier 39. It picks up right on the pier.

Hello - We will be sailing out of Galveston next month. After the cruise we have a late flight (9:45pm) out of Houston. We're thinking of Uber-ing from the port to NASA. The website says they store luggage, taking the tour, and then Uber-ing to the airport. Anyone done this? Anyone stored luggage there and have experience? Thanks for input!

Read on another post that the Glory has the new duffle bags now.

Awesome! Thanks! See you in a few days! :D

Wondering what everyone is getting for the platinum gift recently. Glory specifically. Sailing this weekend & really hoping for the duffle bag.

Thanks so much! This is exactly what we're planning on doing in Martinique next month and this is very helpful. Do they take US dollars for the ferry?

Congrats! In 12 Carnival cruises I have never received an upgrade call either. We're sailing on the Glory next month & I'm in a similar situation. Booked an inside hoping to upgrade, cruise sold out. Can I ask if you answered when they called or did they leave a message? I'm afraid I'll miss the call and if they don't leave a message I'll never know! Have fun!

I can't seem to find the prices on the Liberty Tours website. Anyone know what the rates are? Thanks.

Thanks everyone. I was really more interested in the soda, but I usually like to get more water too. I think printing Carnival's statement on it and bringing it will be helpful. Thanks so much!

I'm hoping someone with recent experience will be able to answer. We haven't cruised since the recent change on the policy of bringing bottled water or soda onboard at embarkation. In the past while in port we have purchased bottled water & brought in onboard with no problems, but we were wondering #1)with the new policy do they still allow that and #2) do they allow you to bring soda (bottled or cans). My question is WHILE IN PORT (not during embarkation). Anyone done this lately? Thanks so much.

Is the app only on the Breeze & Sunshine? The website says it's only on the Breeze. We'll be on the Glory in a couple months.

Manchester Grand Hyatt is an excellent choice and walkable from the train station. Centrally located if you are going to stay in the downtown area, which there is plenty to see and do and the trolley is right there for public transportation to get around.

Do you have any pictures that you can share? DM and I are traveling together so if you or any in your party have pics with the beds configured separately, that would be exciting to see

I guess I don't have any, which is strange. I've gone through all my pictures & don't see any. Sorry.

During your cruise make sure you go to Guest Services & let them know you have an early flight & they will do their best to accommodate you & give you an early debark number.

I actually have stayed in that room. We actually had a small group we were traveling with and we all had the 6 rooms across the back. I didn't find the room was anything special or larger. Just a different type of view. Something different. :D

How does this work since they have the hallways blocked off? How do you get to your room?

Would like to bump this back up to the top. We are also flying into Miami airport the morning of the cruise. Cruise line is not offing excursions, so would like to see if there is a company that would pick up at the airport - tour (City or Everglades) - and return to Port of Miami. I found Miami Jet Tours who may do something like this, but it's a little unclear. Thanks.

Will they leave a message stating that they are calling for that purpose? I'm just curious since most times if they don't leave a message I wouldn't bother to call back.

Disney & a few Royal Caribbean..............

Yes, we are doing the tour that goes to those places, so will be on the look out. Thanks.

We'll check it out! Thanks so much for all the advice!

Thanks so much. I really do appreciate the advice, and area whole heartedly. I will not worry about the rum distillery, as it wasn't top on my list anyway. I will just do the town and beach and be satisfied. One more question. Do you have any recommendations for a good place to have lunch? Would like French or Caribbean food, or are there many good places and we should just pick something walking around? Thanks again!

What sort of unique souvenirs should I be on the look out for St. Kitts? Something unique to the island.

Portmaster: I hope you're still out there.

We were thinking of taking the ferry to Pointe du Bout and walking around, eating and going to Anse Mitan for a bit. However, I would really like to take in a Rum distillery if time permits. What is the best way to do that. We won't have a car, we'll be walking and it looks like it might have to be near Fort-de-France? We'll be in port from 9am-6pm. Is this do-able?

Is there anywhere within walking distance of the pier?

Did you do the excursion through the ship or on your own?
