Ashland

The Water Park Cabanas are on sale for our May 2024...At $1499.00...I'll take two with fries for our group of 10....HAHAHA !!!!

Hyatt Place just off 17th Street in Fort Lauderdale offers a hotel shuttle from FLL to their hotel for $5.00 per room reservation not pp. We have extended family that have used their shuttle (used to be $2.00) and their pick up was quick and easy. They also offer a shuttle from their hotel to Port Everglades based on pp fee. I believe these larger shuttles the hotel uses doesn't require a carseat, but do check directly with the hotel for this info. FYI...This hotel is a favorite of ours and can be booked directly with their website using membership or you can also get great rates booking them with ValueTrips. You can always opt for a private shuttle and one that we've had great service with (that provided a carseat) was South Florida Shuttles. Enjoy your cruise.

Lot's of taxi's will be lined up. We self disembarked this past August. Our ship ended coming in the evening before due to the tide and getting through the lock. The Amsterdam port is amazingly efficient...one of the best we've been through lately. Just allow enough time for getting through Schiphol...we were very lucky outbound but inbound a whole different story.

I completely agree with the Deadliest Catch Tour being one of the better options. We've done it 3 times as recently as this past September. The grandkids really enjoyed it.

I usually get some great first class air booked a few months after the booking dates open.

We buy one 2 device pkg. for the two of us. I just wish the internet was included with GS's and above fleetwide.

We've been staying in OS's lately and love the perk of ordering breakfast from the MDR menu. Delivery has been pretty quick lately on all the ships we've sailed. Another thing we enjoy is ordering dessert just before the MDR hours close including hot chocolate or tea service. Always have some cash to tip upon delivery.

I see someone already posted pics..mine are no different from this past September....except we had rougher seas. Remember to price it with your cruise line vs Deadliest Catch website. It can vary. At times it's been less through the cruise line. Regardless go line up on your own to board asap.so you can get the best seats...middle main deck 2nd row. You can always walk upstairs to take pics but don't limit yourself to having to sit up there.

We've traveled with 2-3 large rolling luggage and never had a problem with a shuttle telling us there was a limit. Check directly with the shuttle company you'll be using.

We were on Serenade twice recently...Alaska & Panama Canal and she was just fine.

Perhaps I'm not understanding your and other's view you are reporting. From what we saw the ones that had booked the HOHO with the cruise ship there was a bus waiting for them just outside the terminal where they showed their excursion ticket....for the start of their tour. Those that walked to the kiosk to purchase their tickets easily boarded one of the several other buses lined up. Never did these conflict with each other at the start of the HOHO tour, and if you were waiting at one of the HOHO spots everyone seemed to get on according to who was there first. Cruise passengers didn't push past. Buses came right after each other very quickly. We've also (on one other port visit) just taken the ship provided shuttle round trip that drops off and picks up a block from the Quincy Market. Enjoy whatever you decide will work out best for you.

Yes, of course there will be...a ship is is port.

Welcome to Cruise Critic: I would highly recommend Cruise Control. We had just amazing service for our extended family 4 adults and two kids this past April. Call Corey directly and he'll take care of your transportation needs. (888) 416-8830

We easily used a taxi...just a suggestion.

Are you onboard Oct 5th? If so, join our roll call.

We've cruised out of our home port of San Pedro many times and as recently as last month. Couldn't be quicker and easier.

Yes, we are.

We purchased the RCI Voom Surf n Stream. We also had our iPhones on Airplane mode and were able to easily text. No problems at all to do this from Quebec to Fort Lauderdale.

Sorry to hear that...Personally I think those that opted to go to Peggy's Cove are up for a disappointment.

There's Blueberry ice cream too. Excited to return to Bar Harbor again this October...Thank goodness it will still be a port stop for us this year...Next year...no.

Book a private tour in Halifax with Halifax Historical Titanic Tours and Paul McNeil. One of the most amazing tours we've done and many post about on these boards. If you're going to only book one excursion then this is the ONE for you. St John NB...check out Dave's Taxi Tour Guys another great option we've enjoyed.

There will be a kiosk just outside of the port terminal to purchase HOHO bus tickets. Their buses will be parked there...easy to spot you can't miss it. We opted to wait and purchase this way just in case we changed our minds. You'll do much better purchasing it there than as an excursion and do ask for the senior discount. We were also in Cartagena last year (Panama Canal itinerary) and easily did a taxi to/from the walled city. So glad we did this which gave us the option of spending some time at the amazing port with all the animal/bird exhibits.

It's refundable (your credit card isn't charged as it's just used to hold your reservation), but as I said above you must cancel it directly with the hotel and it's either 24 or 48 hours prior to arrival date to cancel your reservation or I believe they charge one night to your card on file.

There is one by the bed...I believe on the opposite side of where the phone is.

Some ships might but the last five ships we've sailed on recently didn't ask to see them when ordering in the SL.
