Now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a kid at the Elite Breakfast.
I have Elite Plus status & I have never heard of the Elite Breakfast. What exactly is it?

We have an upcoming 12 night Iceland to Boston cruise on the Eclipse. Currently we are booked in a veranda cabin on deck 7. We’ve only sailed in aqua class or retreat before but those cabins are way over what I’m willing to pay at this time. We can upgrade to a concierge class for $200. I know that it all depends on what we want but I just wanted others opinions. We are currently Elite and not too far off the next level. So what are your thoughts and why we should upgrade or stay.
We sail Concierge or Aqua Class most of the time. There are a few perks that we like with Concierge ( Embarkment lunch in the dining room, a bottle of wine delivered to the room
& the room location) for the $200 more I would upgrade if I were you. We also like that you get more points per night ( 5 pts for Concierge & AquaClass) to get you yo the next Captain Club level.

Can we get them during the day or just during Captains Club social hour?

Also available from any bar with an espresso machine (eg Passport and Casino) and the Al Bacio 2 in the Buffet.
Also includes Hot Chocolate.
Thank You! Good to know

We recently became Elite Plus Members & after looking at the perks, noted that it says we get unlimited specialty coffees ( without alcohol) lattes & teas but not in the dining room. Are we allowed to get them at Al Bacio’s?

You're fine. Enjoy the trip with grandchildren. We're taking our granddaughter on the Navigator in July. She lives in Burbank and will be 11+ . She'll probably do her own packing before her parents check it. She's been cruising since she was 2 and spent Christmas break with her parents in Australia and New Zealand. Leaving her parents home on this trip.
I love it! A season traveler at age 11😀

Nicely done - Was about to say this thread is a bit benign and perhaps we should move on to a tipping discussion, but you may have saved the day!
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.

At 9 and 12 I personally would look at this as an opportunity to experience dressing up -- something young boys don't do often. I'd look at it as an opportunity for them to feel pride in looking nice /in making an effort.
However, they won't be turned away from the dining room in shorts and sneakers. They should opt for nicer shorts and maybe polos rather than athletic shorts and graphic tees. You'll see a smattering of men /boys in shorts, but you won't see many wearing athleti-leisure.
This same picture "makes the rounds" every time this topic comes up. Maybe it's a formal night, maybe it isn't; regardless, this is not typical of the whole dining room on a formal night.
In reality most ladies on formal nights wear a knee-length cocktail dress or sundress. A few wear dressy pants and blouses. Most men wear dress pants and a button-down shirt or polo.
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.

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.

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.

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

Is this weather related. Looking at the webcam it doesn’t”t look that bad, except winds.
Cheers!
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.

That is what we will be doing when we start taking the train to Miami for cruises if the point-to-point home-to-cruise package option doesn’t work out. Go in the day before, spend a quiet evening in Miami and then Uber to the port in the morning.
That would give her a few more options for train scheduling.
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!
Transportation from Port Everglades to Miami International Airport
in Celebrity Cruises

Has anyone used private transportation or taken a taxi from Port Everglades to Miami Airport? Recommendations please😀. I prefer not to use the transfers from the cruise line because of an early flight ( 1pm) & I’m worried that we might have problems getting to the airport on time.
Thanks
