We are a family of five (children with similar ages)and always book a balcony with an interior across the hall for the kids. We get extra keys to both rooms at beginning of cruise and it works great for us!

On our British Isles cruise 2012 we and our friends did Paris in 4 hours . We chose the "Paris on Your Own" option offered by Princess. The four of us had never been there and thinking that we might not get there again we carefully picked things we wanted to see and do. The bus dropped us in the heart of the city at the Place de la Concorde. We took a cab to near Notre Dame and walked along the Seine going in back of the church and up the other side for good photo views. Stopped at a sidewalk cafe next to the church for a quick bite and then toured the inside of Notre Dame.

 

 

 

Then we began walking back to the Place de la Concorde stopping along the way as we felt like it. I bought a small painting from a street vendor. We walked through the courtyard at the Louvre and saw the glass pyramid. Then we walked through the Tuileries Gardens and made it to the Place de la Concorde with time to spare. We did not go close to the Eiffel Tower but could easily see it. On the way out the bus went right by it!!!

 

 

 

The moral of the story is...it can be done. Did not see everything but at least we can say we were there. Careful planning will make it work.

 

 

 

Hope this helps.

P.S. We lived in Salt Lake City during the 1980's and spent many nice days in Park City :D.

Thank you so much for this information. I also grew up in Salt Lake City in the Holliday area. I think this is the best way for us to do this trip as well. Thanks again for the good advice :-)

We will be docking in Le Harve on Princess Cruise Line.

I'd love to do a day-trip to Paris with my Family.

We are party of 6. Grandma, 2 Adults, Kids 17,13, and 10

I'd love recommendations for a company you have used for a similar excursion.

We'd like to see the "sights" Eiffel Tower, Arch de Triomphe, Notre Dame, Champs Elysees

and have lunch. Our Ship is stopped 6/29/2018 from 7:00-20:00.

Thanks in advance for any help!

We would like Motorized and Non-motorized water-sports and snorkeling too...

Should I worry? Is it an ok stop?

So this is my first time cruising on Royal Caribbean since 1996 & I was surprised when we got back to our cabin after dinner on the first night and there was no turndown service. Is that typical of Royal Caribbean? Or just our cabin Steward?

A taxi may not hold your family with luggage. You could try SAS or Supershuttle. You are flying out of MCO in Orlando? That is 3 hours north of Fort Lauderdale, and I doubt that SAS does that trip. You could rent a minivan.

Sorry, I meant MIA. So I am thinking Sas might be the best choice, Thanks!

Hi quick question when you are available... We are a Family of 5. Flying in for a Carnival Cruise on the Freedom. Cruise is October 9-17. I got a great price on the Diplomat so we are staying the one night pre-cruise. Because of our family size. I am wondering if a taxi will work from FLL to The Diplomat? Or if you have a better suggestion. Finally, our flight after the cruise is from MCO. Do you suggest SAS or someone else. Thanks in advance!

Any info on Carnival Valor 8412 & 8416?
