Port of Miami parking in Jan and June of 2014 was pay as you exit. $20 per day.

The "official" word is that NCL will do Halloween on the 30th since the 31st is a port day and the last day of the cruise. Several travel groups on this cruise so expect a super party atmosphere, if that's not what your looking for its to late to cancel! :p

I so hope this is true! Would be so much nicer to not have to worry about repacking all that stuff (costumes are quite large) in the chaos of preparing for debarkation! where did you get the info?

This is our 20th cruise but first on Norweigan. We will be on the Getaway over Halloween. Please tell me that there will be Halloween themed activities and that there will be adults in costume! We've done 5-6 Halloween cruises and they are always such fun!

Cruise #20 booked but first on NCL, Halloween on the Getaway! Tell me all I need to know about NCL, the Getaway.

Grand Suite extended balcony Ecstacy

The trick is for Carnival to limit the number to bowls per person. On the Ecstacy a month ago I was third in line and it took more than 30 minutes. there was an older lady in front of me that had 2 bowls in her hand and a little girl came up and handed her 4 more.

how far out from your sail date do you get the upsell call? Do they usually go for the most experienced cruisers? We've only been on one Carnival Cruise before so I'm thinking there are alot of people ahead of us. We have an ocean suite on the Pride, there is one grand suite available, it looks like its quite a bit bigger, and since there will be 4 of us the bigger the better.

We got a call exactly one week before our Ecstacy cruise in January. We went from a balcony to a grand suite with an extended balcony for $300 (it was only a 4 night cruise). It was a beautiful room, walk in closet, huge balcony and loved having the jetted bathtub for a nice hot soak before bed. Not sure how we were selected. It was our 19th cruise but the first time we'd been called for any type of an upsell/upgrade.

I've had it on the Dream and on the Victory both in the last 4 months.

Do not use red glitter nail polish on your toes!. DH and I were snorkeling in Costa Maya in April; when making out way back to shore I was bitten by something in the water. I had a deep puncture wound that bled very badly for about 1/2 hour and was very painful. The locals at the beach bar/restraunt I was at said the glitter in my nail polish probably attracted it. This picture was about 4 days later but you can see from the bruising that it was prety bad.

I think the '35 minute' distance might be between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, not Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale.
