i just reserved with cruise time parking for our 4 night Mariner cruise in Dec and it was $35. The lot at the pier charges $17 a day 

I recieved an email today telling us our iteniary has changed for our Dec cruise because of issues with Allure of the seas. We now have our schedule rearranged and will only be in Nassau until 4pm instead of 9pm.

these look very nice. i have never seen them offered in the pre cruise planning section on the RCI website. I have a Chill Island cabanna reserved for our cruise in Dec buy this option looks nice too

we rented a cabanna on Chill Island for December and it says they have a place to lock valuables in.

boy. a lot of kid haters here. I paid a lot of money for my 6 yr old to go with us and expect her to not be confined to the on board kiddie clubs. I enjoy spending time with my daughter and expect to experience all that the cruise has to offer for all paying guests. 

I booked Chill Island cabana in Dec when it was pictured and described as over water cabana. Now it isn't . very disappointed. they haven't listed prices for the over water cabanas that will be on South Beach but from what I am seeing they will be way too much for me. Does anyone know a website to check if there will be 2 ships there on Dec 3? If not I may just cancel. The last time we were on a private island there were no chairs to be had. I just want a nice relaxing day with a good meeting spot for our group of 7 and to not get fried in the sun. 

we booked 8690 for a Dec cruise wish i had seen this info about deck 7 being better before i booked.

I booked Chill Island Cabana for Dec because in Jan it said those were the over water cabanas. Now looking at the map they will not be. South beach club is where it looks like they will be from the virtual map. I just called RCI and they said reservation have not opened for those yet. Not going to be happy if the price is 1000+ when they do open up. he offered to move to South Beach but those are still not over water. My 5 yr old is so psyched about the little slide and hammock. I am going to be one unhappy mama bear if I dont get one of these.  

South Beach wasnt even an option back when I booked Chill Island in Jan

Absolutely

i agree

Tentatively have planned to stay at Staybridge Suites near Orlando airport (630p flight arrival) and take thier shuttle back to airport to pick up rental car next morning and going to Holiday Inn Club Vacations Beach Resort Cape Canaveral and dropping off car at port. Anyone Stayed at these hotels before? any input welcome 

This port schedule doesn't go all the way up to Dec when we will be cruising but the Mondays have 5 ships in port at the same time. BUSY

The FAQ from RC:

My friends and I are also sailing in January and it was available in my Cruise Planner under Excursions for Perfect Day at CoCo Cay.   Hope this helps. 

what is club admission? dont see that on my cruise planner

we were able to use one each for a total of $200 OBC

  i was able to book one of the over the water cabanas in January for our cruise in Dec. we are not in a suite.

What time did most passengers get off... We are on the Mariner next week and a lot of the entertainment is so late at night I am curious as to what time we should get off to get a nice location whether it be at pool or beach (we will decide that when we get there)? Thanks.

before the chair hogs haha

as long as the over water cabanas are done by Dec2. they look awsome can't wait

any new company being added to replace?

I was able to book one of the over water cabanas for Dec hope they are done by then

no discounts offered for my Dec cruise maybe because we have already booked a drink package?

Flying in to Orlando on a Sat evening just my 5 yr old daughter and i. The rest are driving down and will arrive about Sunday morning. Looking For transportation to Holiday Inn Vacations Cape Canaveral Beach Resort. The previously mentioned Shuttle That everyone recommended doesn't run that late. Looking for safest method for woman and little girl alone. Would i be better to rent a car one way?

Thanks for shareing these look amazing! i have one of the new over the water ones reserved for Dec

looking at The Stingray excursion at Coco Cay and one at Nassau. Anyone done either? looks like one you are on a platform and one you are actually swimming with them. Will have a 6 yr old with us so have to consider that too. Going in Dec 2019
