On the same cruise: Port Canaveral got it together. Getting on and off was a breeze. Good directional signage and staff giving directions. We were on the first bus from MCO but didn’t arrive at the terminal until after noon so no need to get an early checkin time. Although it appeared no one was checking anyway. Aqua and Ice shows were excellent. Grease was just okay. Agree on piano player and pub singer, pretty mediocre. Always enjoyed the karaoke in OnAir. Ate in MDR 3 nights with MTD. Never had an issue getting in at 7:30, waited only 5min on Lobster night. There were no lines the other 2 nights. Went to 150, Chops and Jamie’s. 150 was really good, chops was good, Jamie’s just okay. Had dinner in WJ one night and lunches most days, was okay. Liked JRs for breakfast. We loved CocoCay! Stayed aboard and enjoyed the ship at St. Thomas. St Kitts did a catamaran excursion, that was really fun. The beach they took us to was no beach. About 4 feet of steep sand and rocky at the water. The ship rolled more than usual for such a large vessel. The “wave” pool was fun on the last day. It was sloshing about 3 feet back and forth. Favorite drinks, mudslide and frozen mojito. Coke cups not in our room, had to get them at a kiosk in the promenade. Weather was great! To us the ship never seemed crowded. No flight delays!

We have a late flight out of MCO next Sunday. Just wondering if the KSC post cruise tour included luggage transfer to the airport or do you have to collect your luggage off the ship, lug it to the tour bus then lug it off the bus into the airport after the tour?

The Increase to 14 just made our 72.99 Deluxe Beverage Package a little more tolerable. The break even point went from 5.6 to 5.2/day…LOL!

For our October cruise it went back up to 78 at the end of this past this week, it was 72 for their "sale". I saw it at 67 early one morning and went to buy it, but the price charged when I put it in my cart. I think it was a glitch on their web page as they updated pricing for the sale. We won't buy it until it goes into the 60's range. If not, we'll go a la carte.

Friday morning, I checked the deluxe package for our October Harmony cruise, it was $67. I checked with my wife and went back to the computer to purchase 10 minutes later. Price was still 67, but when I put it in the cart the total didn't look right. Went back to the price page and the price changed to 72.99, buy one get one half off. I wish I would have screen shot the $67 price. It appears they made a mistake or a glitch was fixed right away. The night before it was 78.

Thank you all for the info.

Does anyone know what time the first RC shuttle bus leaves from Orlando MCO to Port Canaveral? Our flight arrives early at 8:30AM. Just wondering for when choosing a check-in time. What is the earliest check-in time available for general boarding? How long is the bus ride?

The lowest we've seen for our October Harmony cruise is $73/day during the July4 "sale". The current discounted price is $78, though the non-discounted is 98, w/o gratuity added in. We've decided low 60's is our trigger point. I doubt it will go that low. Last cruise in 2019 we got it for under 50...

Yes, price of airfare is affecting our future cruise plans. If we didn't have FCCs to cover our October cruise, we probably would have driven to a beach instead this year. Our airfare to Orlando would basically be the cost of one person in the cabin. Driving to a beach next year is looking better right now.
