  1. Best suit packing video ever, from a professional.

     

    Agree. I've tried this, it works. Use it for formal dresses also.

     

    One tip is if you are staying in a hotel pre-cruise, take everything out of the bag and hang it up. Then re-pack it the morning you leave for port. Never had to iron a tux or formal dress.

     

    I use the Ziploc brand XL bags.

  2. Don't know which one is best (for your situation).

     

    We've stayed at Sheraton Dania Beach-not close to much except Bass Pro Shop. Nice enough hotel. Free Airport Shuttle. I believe they have a port shuttle for a fee also. Used SAS to take us to port, but they no longer do this I understand.

     

    Sheraton Ft. Lauderdale (Formerly Yankee Clipper)-nice, on the beach rooms available. Close to some restaurants. Used shuttle service to take to port.

  3. Waitlist for Early means you already have Late seating confirmed.

     

    My experience is, this far out, you will be moved up to early seating before boarding.

     

    If you don't, go the DR as soon as you board and try to get moved. They will have someone there helping with table assignements. If you are not one of the ones to board early, expect a line.

  4. All of this could be boiled down to the term Big Data. Any successful company uses data to try to improve efficiency, lower costs and improve service. It's may not be about tracking where you are specifically, but what service people are using and when so they can predict what and when to offer it.

     

    When it gets to the point that they 'selling' me specifically on something I didn't ask for, that's when it gets annoying for me.

     

    In the end, it should lower the cruiselines costs though.

  5. Why bother with the RFID bracelet? Just implant a chip and be done with it. No need to carry around a card or wear a band.:rolleyes:

     

    Here's what the Disney one looks like:

    Beleive it or not, some people do implant chips in their hands to gain electronic access to their house, cars, etc.

  6. The title was a little alarming. I envisioned some strong arm attack story to follow or a cabin was broken into.

     

    Basically, you lost the item. How we classify the lack of return is up to you. This stuff happens everywhere and on every cruise.

     

    Even Sat. I found an iphone in Kohl's (that was lost). I returned it to an employee as always, but not everyone will. I always pick up an item that is lost like this and turn it in to prevent others from taking and keeping it.

     

    Maybe I should have left it sitting there.
