  1. There is just 2 of us and looking for transportation from MCO to Port Canaveral Hotel.  Tried GoPort but there is no way to reserve Airport to hotel then after the cruise we are looking for the Port back to MCO airport hotel.  Any suggestions?  We already have our hotels.  Thanks

  2. How much is a taxi to Orient Beach or is a bus cheaper?  We would like to visit the French side.  Any recommendations on the best part of the beach to go?  Hopefully most have recouped since the hurricane.  Also how much are chairs and umbrellas?  I googled and searched the forum but most of the info is from a long time ago.  Thanks :)

  3. We are looking at ocean view (outside view) cabins on the Symphony of the Seas on deck 9.  Does anyone have pictures of the cabins on the very front of the ship?  It looks like the window is a rectangle and the ones in the front on the side a circle?  Is there is any difference between cabin 9508 and 9526?   Also, do the cabins have a couch?

    Is there any of the outside cabins that are better than the other outside of the large ones because they won't let us choose that one because there is only 2 of us.

    Any help would be very much appreciated.  Thanks!

    Figure everyone leaving the luau at the same time and walking to get your car.  Then about an hour's drive to Kahului Airport (unless you rented from another location).  Give time to turn the car in and get the rental car shuttle or a taxi from the airport to the harbor (about three miles).  The ship may want you to be back no later than 10 p.m.  Can you make it?  If everything goes smoothly, yes.  Do you have a lot of wiggle room if everything doesn't go smoothly?  No.  We must leave that decision to you.

    Thanks appreciate the help. 😊

    There are some fine luaus in Lahaina, but you mentioned wanting to stay close to your ship and Lahaina is about 45 minutes from Kahului Harbor.  If you have a rental car you can drive there and back, but do factor in time for returning your car and getting back to the ship.  If you want to take a taxi, the following is from the TaxiFareFinder website for a ride one-way.  Not to be negative at all, but just making sure you have considered everything.

     

    Taxi one-way:

    Initial Fare $3.50
    Add. Metered Fare $75.30
    Tip (15%) $11.82
    Estimated Taxi Fare $90.62
     

    Thanks.  We checked with the luau and they said we would be fine.  We are renting a car and the luau ends at 8:15 and ship leaves at 11pm.  Do you think we will be ok?

  6. Are there tours offered when you get off the ship at Maui (Kahului), Honolulu, Kona, Hilo?

    Does anyone have recommendations?  First time visiting Hawaii and struggling when researching to figure out what to do.  Definitely doing Pearl Harbor and found another snorkeling/whale watching tour in Maui we were interested in but the ship is coming in too late to catch the tour and it's over an hour away from the pier we are coming into. 

    We have cruised to the Caribbean several times...Excited for Hawaii for sure! :)

  7. My hubby just had shoulder surgery so transferring between trains isn’t really an option with our luggage. We don’t know anything about New York. What would be our best option. Is uber and lyft not a good option from EWR to the Manhattan cruise port and back from cruise port to EWR? Starting to get nervous because we aren’t used to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  8. Yes...there's also a fairly new Walgreen's just down the street by the Old Town Sheraton. Assuming you can bring wine on the ship...no idea what cruiseline you're using. I only know about RCI but they don't sail out of Old Town pier.

     

     

     

    Sorry we are sailing on Carnival Fascination.

  9. Does CVS in Old San Juan have wine? If so can we board the ship drop our luggage off then go out and get wine and bring it back on board to our cabin?
