Our house to Southport Raw Bar - 4 hours driving with an hour buffer for 'pit stops' - leave at 6 am, having a beer at 11 am - then check in, if possible, at Hilton Marina for our pre-cruise night stay. Our house to OIA - about an hour depending on Brightline schedule - 3 hour trip with the 2 stops, then shuttle to ??? - ship if same day, or uber to Hilton/Southport if going down the day before - which we would, then have to uber anywhere we went, which wouldn't be much. So, we really wouldn't save the one-night stay. For us, not economical ... and we also don't travel light either ... if it fits in the car ... for Port Canaveral - day of drive, easy hour - pay to park at port or at Brightline. Our house to Brightline to PCanaveral - I'd guess close to 3 hours - so that's a definite no go

Brightline from OIA takes 3 hours and you're still not at Port Everglades

noone is buying wifi at $175 for a 7 day cruise - way overpriced to fluff the package. Our package evaluation has wifi at zero value for us ... so we really gotsta up that drinkin', huh?

but with the Plus Beverage package - you have the option to remove Grats ... j/s

keep one punch on the coffee card - have unlimited brewed coffee on all future cruises. next to go - load your non-refundable OBC in the .......................................

late afternoon getting close to the 15 if counting waters (4-5) coffee (1) beers (3-4) ... that's 10 and not even pre-dinner ...

same sports court

always PLUS - but upgraded to Premier on the little 5 day'er

NO and NO ! if anything, take out the fluff in the PLUS and Premier, reduce the price, and get it back to basics of the old BEST. SALE. EVEH. Drinks, Grats, Wifi . I know, I know

sport court shared by all, not just pickleball

oops - my 4-5-4 should have been 5-4-5 to equal 14 days or 2 of 7 days

4-5-4 also works ... 14 day turnaround E-W-E ... W-E-W

yes, the SKY from Port Canaveral in 2025

it's not 3 shots, right? It's three 1/3 shots poured into a shot glass - so equals 1 shot

Curious - what kind of Easter themes? Like bunny rabbits and eggs?

Use wife's app to order drinks/snacks to cabin for both of us. 😉

I got flowers 🌻after I PASSED OUT on the Regal a few years ago - Medicare supp paid all onboard charges ( except the $28 medical records fee ) ... AON paid the co-pays for my land after visits to ER and Cardiologist...

Original passport - nope Color copy of passport - yep

kinda sorta having this same debate at home now since my slip and fall - the cali king waterbed is no longer an option - way too hard to get in and out of now - and it is now gone (rip😥). Going with an adjustable base for sure - and discussing the merits of a split cali king or a couple of XL adjustable twins...

on the Alaska cruisetours thru Princess - aren't you basically choosing .. 2 nights at each lodge? Is any length 'more rushed' than another? 4 nights = 2 lodges 6 nights = 3 lodges

nothing wrong with that if you know the answer you are looking for 😉

2 move-overs for us - one taken - the other (SKY inaugural 2.0 - 3 day) didn't work out went from 5 day western carib on Crown to 7 day eastern on Regal leaving the next Sunday with the same - refundable OBC , Princess covered additional 2 days grats and the 2 extra days old drink package as I remember - kept same cabin cat ( I tried ) - no airline involved

follow the money - are you listening Princess?

good business practice

5 day over Thanksgiving out of PE/FLL on the CB - NOPE, N.E.V.E.R. AGAIN short staffed as usual and over 100% capacity
