Thanks for the info.  Might just buy as we go.

Thinking of getting the cafe select card for our 4-day allure trip for morning and afternoon lattes.  Wondering what venues have specialty coffee where the card can be used. I know it is not effective at Starbucks.

I am not sure if it will be running by then, but there is a new train service from FLL to MCO. Don't know if it stops at Port Canaveral, but may be worth investigating.  It is called Brightline.

really loved your trip report and I wish you did not have months before the next one because I love following along on your adventures!

Following along.  Glad you finally got on board after the difficult time getting to Miami.  Enjoy your cruise!

Thanks very much for taking us along.  Enjoyed hearing about your adventures!  Safe travels home.

Excellent review, so enjoying your adventure. 
 

You seem to have specialty dining down to a science so hoping you can answer a question. If you have a 7 night package does that cover specialty lunch and dinner each day or just dinner?  We are RCL vets so are used to the unlimited package and not sure if this is different

looking forward to following along.  We were on the Mariner some years back and would love to hear how it is now

Doesn't sound like waiting outside the terminal would be fun.  I think I will do as Royal asks and show up after 12.  Hope it is not crazy busy at that time. Thanks for all the replies.

So it sounds like it would be best to wait until after 12 to head to the port. 

I admit that although I have the deluxe plan, I am not a big drinker- will likely ask the bartenders to make it light on alcohol!  Looking mostly for fru-fru drinks that will be fun but not too strong. Does the sexy ocean fit that category?

Just got the following email.  Has anyone run into this before? Does this mean we will have a late start and long lines?

Thank you.  Enjoyed the whole review. We go on Sunday with the ultimate and deluxe plans so will be using some of your recommendations!

Autumn in Canada is beautiful!  Lovely here too in Connecticut, but we are right behind you in Fort Lauderdale with our first Allure cruise on 10/28.  Will be following you this week.  Enjoy and safe travels!

We knew we would drink plenty of bottled water, specialty coffees and juice. So the refreshment package was a no brainer. When the deluxe package came on sale, it was $24 more each, We figured that was 2 drinks a day beyond the water, coffee and juice, so we went for it. Now we don't have to think about it and it is all paid.

Amazing sunset photo

Loved your report. Really appreciate all the detail and pics. Your daughter’s smile is absolutely contagious! You’ve given me some great ideas and lots to look forward to our Halloween cruise.

Wow, Sabor looks good. Will give it a try when we go at the end of the month!

It’s a bummer to get back to reality! And quite different to wKe up to an ocean view. I don’t blame you for hitting the snooze button. Can’t wIt for the galley brunch!

Sad that your cruise has ended but looking forward to hearing about the rest of it. Hope lil bits is okay after the bug bite. And very funny pic of mama holding her hand out for your wallet in the store!

Just started watching your videos and they are getting me very excited for our Halloween cruise. Did you have a favorite venue on the ship?

sounds and looks like you had a great day- Lil bits smiles say it all

Looking forward to a fun 2 weeks following!

Not sure if they still have it, but there used to be a lovely breakfast bread with raisins and nuts. Hope they still have this!

You are one cool dad to let your daughter bury you in the sand. Love the coconut drink included!
