We did an amazing private Rome tour with RomeInLimo....no worries with them when it came to timing. On another trip we joined our roll call and used Tours By Locals. For Florence we opted for the ship offered DIY...worked out great for us two different cruises. Check your rollcall perhaps you can join in.

If you could do a 9 nighter I would say RCI Liberty out of Cape Liberty. This is one of our favorites and have already booked for Oct 2025.

11:30am will be just fine. We did a walk off this past Feb/March and took one of the shuttle vans offering private transportation. Big signs (can't miss them) when you exit the terminal $10.00pp they filled up very fast and we were on our way. Got to MIA before 8am...couldn't have been quicker and easier.

Just an FYI if you happen to be in a suite RCI will provide you with a pair to use onboard. Their actually very good ones....Just ask your cabin steward for them.

Just a couple of other suggestions to price out. South Florida Shuttles https://www.southfloridashuttles.com/ Jiffy Jeff https://www.gojiffyjeff.com/

You always get four. You can also ask your cabin steward for a type you might prefer. I always ask for the isotonic memory foam type.

I believe it was 10/11/12/1...We took the 11am shuttle.

On our recent (Feb) Explorer cruise they did this the last few evenings at the entrance to the WJ.

Try south Florida Shuttles...this worked for us when we needed an infant carseat. https://www.southfloridashuttles.com/ Or Jiffy Jeff is another good recommendation. https://www.gojiffyjeff.com/

Our go to hotel in San Juan is the Sheraton Old Town...a perfect location !!

This is one of the best tours we've ever done and many on these boards agree !! https://halifaxtitanictours.ca/historic-halifax-tour

Check your other identical post for answers/suggestions.

We recently sailed out of POM (Feb) and opted to do our pre-cruise stay at the Hampton Inn Suites Blue Lagoon. They have a comp shuttle from MIA to the hotel and a pretty good comp breakfast. Also a for fee ($14.00pp) shuttle to the port. The hotel is right across the street from a Publix market shopping center with a few restaurants and fast food etc. etc. We were so happy with this hotel that we'll be staying there again for another pre-cruise night this May.

We certainly didn't have to "ask" as they (several of them from the same company) were walking just outside the terminal doors holding big signs and calling out "Shuttle to MIA...$10.00pp" hard to miss them.

Try Cruise Control....our favorite shuttle transportation to Port Canaveral from MCO. 888 416-8830

We were just (Feb/March) in an OS on Explorer...our favorite category. More than enough perks for us including ordering from the MDR menu during their dining hours. Enjoy this ship !!!

If you're in a suite the SL Concierge will email you a week prior to your departure date.

Enjoy Explorer. We were most recently on her this past Feb/March. Line up early for the ice show...it's a popular one....but as noted above no reservations necessary/available on this class of ship.

We've used the shuttle service that has big signs as you exit the terminal. It's $10.00pp and they fill up so quickly and are on their way...Couldn't have been easier this past Feb to get from POM to MIA.

You would be better off renting a car for the day...just note the rental hours....and the open hours of KSC. If you're a Costco member they have good rates. We rented from Budget for our trip to KSC. Budget offers a comp shuttle to/from their close by location.

Thanks...I try to be as current and correct as possible when giving info.

Yes...those glass bottles are nice.

Thanks for adding to my post #9.

I believe it has to do with the casino level of onboard play.

Sorry it doesn't say on their website but they absolutely DO. We just used it on Feb 23rd from the hotel to the POM. We signed up for it the night we checked into the hotel and chose our departure time for the next morning.
