I've done it several times as recently as last weekend . It's incredibly easy. The Brightline station is an 8 min drive from PoM. Trains leave regularly and the ride is 30 min. The Brightline FLL station is an 11 min ride to FLL. 

So take a taxi or uber twice one way plus the train fare. What did that cost one way?

Take the Brightline train. Or TriRail. 

How would he get to the train?   I would not mess with a train to catch a noon flight at FLL from POM.

They set it up at Guest services onboard Mariner. The transportation specialist or something hooked me up. They put me on a van that was going to FLL airport. I was in the last group to disembark and they personally walked me to the shuttle and through customs. It was great! 

Thanks.

Its called a side to side.  I did it earlier this year, but actually went from Mariner at port of Miami to Independence at Port Everglades. Royal was great, they even arranged free transportation for me. 

Did they tell you ahead of time, or were you informed on board the Mariner.

We met Super Mario, Nice guy. Maybe one day I’ll be able to cruise full time like him...

Did they actually rope off his spot?

Having been lucky to see 2 launches in 2 day in August from the beach by Jetty Park a cruise ship in PC is ideal with all that height. Most launches are streamed live to give you  an idea when it's going up. Keep in mind they push launches back, frequently.

Probably a good time to get out of Blacksburg , after Friday's game.

Empress is now on the app but the deck plans only have graphics for deck 5 with the other decks just being blank.

They fixed it.

The bridge and tunnel both end up East of Terminal F.  Either way you need to get to N Cruise Blvd. and you'll be okay.

The signage is pretty good at the POM. I wouldn't trust any GPS nav.   MSC uses the original Royal terminal at POM which is easily accessible from the tunnel. 

Alamo at PE is pretty easy and well staffed.  Just get ready to say no to all the up-sell stuff. No need to call the shuttles make the rounds often.

Does this not disable Wi-Fi calling and eliminate any locally stored contacts?

 

 

Phones have internal memory and micro sd cards for that. Sim's are for connectivity to the cell network. 

I gave up on Priceline/Hotwire this trip down.  Between the excess fees and the tacked on resort charge it's almost easier to book direct for the same price. I ended up booking the Holiday Inn Express in Davie for $127 plus $15 a night tax.  Easy and without the risk of getting a stinker like the Link.

Agree, many not away they COULD loose their OBC. Happened me couple times but reduction was higher then OBC lost. Myself, will call for anything over $20. Had one Booking was on change 11, most for reductions. Then only once canceled Booking loosing Deposit as the Sale price for New Bookings only, a better cabin, and saved more then I lost. Was Luck...

I called for a price drop and gained $50 OBC along with the price reduction due to the promotion Royal was running. 

The app is supposed to have some kind of expedited check in on it, or so Royal says it does when I'm in the cruise planner. 

Did you put your broom away for tonight?

Shuttles will be clearly marked, although they can get full quickly and they usually request/require you to show proof of rental to board.  We’re doing this yet again in a couple weeks and it’s very easy and a short ride to the airport location.  All the major agencies will have shuttles, we’re using Avid but have used National/Alamo before with no issues.

I don't think Avis/Budget has a shuttle to MIA from the port. That would be good news if they have one now.

Not in a big rush to start the day so will be one of the last ones off the ship will they still be circling at 10am?

They should be, but have the number for the MIA location in your phone and call when you  get off to make sure they know where you're at.

A lot of the KSC  site relies on shuttle buses that transport you around the various locations which also eats up a lot of time.

The Costco website has the best rental car rates for the last couple of years.

Yes, I got all four of mine that start January 3rd.

They added Empress to the App last week, but no messaging.

Propeller maintenance, due to depart at 2:00 AM.

Does anyone know at what terminal the Adventure of the Seas usually docks in Port Everglades?

Terminal 29 usually and the Nieuw Statendam at Terminal 21.
