Agree...Cruise Control and Corey are great !!!!

Check with "Cruise Control". Our favorite transportation...their amazing and highly recommended by many on these boards. 888 416-8830

Hmmm....Since you do have TSA...personally you should have taken the noon flight to ATL and get off the ship sooner than 8:30am. We have even used the shared shuttle (big signs easy to find just outside the terminal door) for our noon flight. It's $10.00pp and fills up quickly and we were easily at MIA long before our flight time. That's a long wait at MIA for you but best of luck.

Hyatt Place. Next door to the Harbor shopping center with a Publix market, restaurants and shopping. Our favorite pre/post hotel great location and just a few minutes from FLL and the port. Try booking (depending on your dates) using ValueTrips.

Sorry...That's too bad because they are "legit" and have great rates for the Hyatt Place. Just offering a choice but obviously one you won't even consider. Best of luck how/with whatever you decide.

Yes...That was a pricey ride. We opted for the shuttles that were out front of the POM terminal door. It was $10.00pp. It filled up quickly and we were at MIA in plenty of time for our 11:00am flight.

What transportation did you use and price?

If you're a Costco member check online for prices/rental company options.

Guests requiring wheel chair assistance must leave their bags outside cabin night before. You contact guest service a day or two before disembarkment to get time and place to meet. Usually it's between 7am-9am will vary by ship. This info is from our last departure tip sheet.

Not sure of your dates but look at booking Hyatt Place with ValueTrips ...https://www.valuetrips.com/ great rates. We just stayed there again last month love the location.

Hi Steve, I hope you can answer my question post #14 & follow up #16. Thanks so much.

We also opt for a quick taxi ride from PE to FLL.

No...I don't believe they do.

I just got this Digital ID offer from Delta Airlines. Airports pilot program at ATL, DTW,LAX LGA & JFK.

Not the AARP gift cards but we often get RCI gift certificates from family and have found them easy to apply to the final balances of our RCI booked directly cruise. Doing so online with the certificate serial number and certification authorization code. https://royalcaribbeancertificates.com/

On Icon that includes the SurfSide Suites as well.

Check to see if your hotel offers a shuttle to Port Everglades. With those you won't need a car seat. It seems a hit or miss if you can find Uber/Lyft that offers car seats.

We love using Cruise Control.

Yes there is an ice rink. Icon had a couple of shows but it's a round rink not the oval type shape on other ships..so a bit smaller. There was a Starburst Elemental which we had reservations for (walk up also available but this one filled up fast so reservations suggested) and a family type ice show with Captain Awesome ... that one didn't require reservation. There is also open skating at certain times that will be listed in the Cruise Compass.

We're D+ almost Pinn and stay in suites. On Explorer we go in get our drink and snacks and sit out in the Crown. The lounge is always too crowded for us and has a lack of tables for two which we prefer.

Oh my goodness...Just off Icon and almost every cabin door was elaborately decorated with magnets.

We had two SurfSide Suites and I will agree with you about those and it's lack of storage. The swing around TV was ridiculous for viewing. Our young (10 yo) grandson loved that little sleeping area but we certainly won't book that category again. We also didn't care for the SL to share space with the Coastal Kitchen. But we had an amazing bartender (Gerry) that made a nightly juice drink for the kids and they loved him. So for us it was in/out quickly.

Sorry, that bit of detail I'm not sure of.

Some of our extended family (2 adults & 2 kids) had #1054 on Serenade for our last Alaska itinerary and it was great. Yes, it was the old CL.

Those elevators, shows and dining venues...wonderful....right !!!
