Love it

I love it! A season traveler at age 11😀

I’m sorry if this topic is benign. I have gotten alot of great info on Cruise Critic. We have 30 plus cruises under our belt. But have never travelled with kids. We are spending 3 days before & after the cruise in Disney World & was hoping to pack as lightly as we could. I was asking about the dress code to make sure we packed what we needed.

Thanks for your input, I agree about the boys dressing up. The problem we are encountering is that we are in Disney for 3 days before the cruise & 2 after. We were hoping to dress lightly. But I also think a nice pair of shorts & polo would be fine.

Thank You

Thanks

Hi we are taking our grandkids on The Mariner of the Sea next month. I’m hoping that someone can tell me how strict the dress code is in the main dining for kids. My grandsons are 9 & 12. Will they be able to wear shorts & sneakers at dinner. Or will we need to pack dress pants & shirts.

Thanks!

Thanks’. I called Cortrans & they were awesome!

We are sailing aboard the Mariner of the Seas in April. My husband has COPD & can’t walk to far, but refuses a wheelchair. I’m wondering where we can park, that won’t be too far from the terminal & do we need to make reservations ahead of time. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Everyone My family & I are sailing aboard the Mariner of the Sea on 4/18/24. My daughter who is a Florida resident needs transportation from the Cruise Port to the Brightline Train at Orlando Airport post cruise. Any suggestions for a reliable shuttle service? RCCL won’t sell us a transfer because she isn’t on a flight.

Thank you for the info.

We are sailing with our son, his wife & kids on the Mariner of the Seas in April. The kids are 9 & 12 yrs old. They have passports & will be traveling with their parents. Will they also need to bring birth certificates as well for the kids.

We are sailing on RCCL Mariner of the Seas in April. It is a family trip ( with grandkids ages 11&9. I have read that RCCl has a VIP Pass called the Key. Was wondering if it’s worth the money & what perks do you get with it. Any info would be appreciated. Cruising Nonnie

I was onboard this sailing. The ocean was very angry! We ended up staying onboard until 1pm. I thought the staff handled everything very well. They continued to update us & got us off as soon as they could. I felt bad for the passengers who had early flights. I bet most of them didn’t make it.

Thanks! We have 2 Celebrity Cruises before the RC cruise. One in November & another in January, We love to cruise. If I lived in FL, I would be broke😂

We come from Boston & normally cruise out of Fort Lauderdale, Tampa or Miami. We always fly in the night before, just to be safe. Unfortunately this cruise is out of MCO because we are spending several days in Disney & my daughter is going to meet us at the pier. But the info you gave me, is very helpful!

I’m thinking she should catch one of the earlier trains the day before & stay at a hotel near the airport & then transfer to the pier with RC.

Wow! I’m thinking that she should come in the day before the cruise. As for flights, that’s totally out. She would be spending the same amount of time ina plane as a train & cost 2 times more.

Thanks for the heads up.

Yes she is in west Palm,

Thanks. I’ve looked into flights from Wedt palm to Orlando & there is nothing direct. It’s crazy because they go from West Palm to another state before going yo Orlando, But I’ll check Brightline at your suggest.

Thanks!

We’ve sailed on Carnival, Princess, Royal, Disney, NCL & Celebrity. We have sailed numerous times with Celebrity & in no way does it compare to Carnival. At least that’s my opinion. Celebrity is a step above the lines that we have sailed with. The service, food & entertainment are wonderful. That being said, we have seen some significant changes in the cruise industry since Covid. We recently found out that Royal is making changes to their menus & even Celebrity is now offering specialties on their dining menus for an up charge. Once one line does it, the others will probably follow. But in my opinion, you can’t go wrong with Celebrity.

Hi everyone looking for suggestions on how to get my daughter from Miami Airport to the Cruise Port in Orlando. We are sailing in April & can get to Miami easier then Orlando & was hoping someone knew an easy way for her to get to the ship. Any ideas would be helpful.
