Miami to Port Everglades transportation
redwings1958 replied to redwings1958's topic in Florida Departures
Well, we are flying into MIA but the flight arrives at 8:30p Friday night. That is why we are staying in MIA overnight. As far as times/cost, since you can't board before 11am anyway, the morning times don't really matter. I love trains, but mi espousa likes convenience and comfort -
Flying and staying in MIA the evening before the cruise. Best options for traveling from MIA to Port Everglades the next morning thanx

First time on Celebrity (Reflection), tips for our first time?
redwings1958 replied to kaz828's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Book the Le Petite Chef ASAP. On our last X cruise, it was the highlight dinner experience. -
YES this is the ship The ship is in port Thursday[embarkation] and Friday [1st port]. We opted to stay in Venice on Wednesday and explore the city for 1.5 days. No Need to rush to the ship on thursday. If you get there by 4pm, there will be NO CROWDS and check in is a breeze. Then check out Ravenna on Friday and explore on your own. 3 hours is more than ample time to see everything

NO!! Water taxis are SUPER EXPENSIVE; Alliguana is only 30e pp R/T

anyone rode celebrity shuttle from Venice to Ravenna
redwings1958 replied to jbdawg's topic in Italy Ports
We picked up our shuttle at VCE at 1pm; Only 10 people on the bus! USB ports for charging phones, A/C, reclining seats too! 3 hour drive , with a 15 minute pit stop for snacks or potty break -
Celebrity has a FREE shuttle to/from the port. That being said, we walked the entire city in about 2.5 hours. Had lunch at Alice Pizza, and Gelato just down the street. The Mercado de Ravenna also has some neat shops as well as a supermarket [ water for only 0.50e]!!

MORE NOTES: Solarium rules are strictly followed: A man had a bottle of beer in the pool and was told to leave Fitness center is WELL EQUIPPED Pursers office can exchange euro to dollars and reverse ATMs dispense DOLLARS Afternoon trivia is crowded, while morning trivia is NOT; NO prizes though; just for fun 15 questions Eat breakfast in the MDR at least once; Food is made to order and a lot better Never had to wait in line or search for pool chairs In the OV café, the waffles are all the way in the back as well as the French toast and pancakes

We booked ALL of our shore excursions thru PRIVATE tour companies; They were better, cheaper and WAY less crowded than the Celeb offerings; Forget about the threat about missing the ship. ALL tours have backup plans, cell phones, and standby transportation. They also know that with social media, I missed trip or bad review will SINK a business. Too much competition

7 and 9 every evening; 45 minutes in length; plenty of time to get to the 8pm GAME SHOW activity; Theatre was NEVER crowded, so no need to rush to get a decent seat

PORTS: 1. RAVENNA - Saw it don't need to return - Been there done that 2. SPLIT - Would go back in a second 3. DUBROVNIK - DITTO ABOVE Our Favorite Port of the cruise 4. MYKONOS - Loved it, need to see more 5. EPHESUS - Very cool - historically and diverse 6. CRETE - had a food tour, but a great city was Herkalion 7. SANTORINI - IMHO; this should be an AT SEA DAY; It was just a mad house in OIA and FIRA
