CruisingAgain

I need to get from Ft Lauderdale Airport to a Miami hotel. SAS looks like a good option but they do not go to my hotel. Does anyone know ... 1. Will they drop off at other hotels in the Brickell area? 2. If not I will need to walk from the Hampton Inn (SW 12th Street) to Aloft Hotel (SW 2nd Ave). Does anyone know the area? Is that a safe area for a woman alone in the afternoon? Is it flat enough to pull a small suitcase?

YES ... there is COVID on the cruise ships and it doesn't matter if it is 30% or .03% if you run into the 1 person that has it you can catch it. It is very contagious. But there is also COVID in your neighborhood. My husband or I got COVID from a visit to the grocery store, hair dresser, LabCorp, pharmacy or department store. Not sure where but probably just one of us got it and gave to the other. We only had slight cough and tested because we were going on a cruise. Otherwise we would not have tested. Does everyone else test if they cough? And ... the people who test after the cruise probably got it on the cruise but could have gotten it going to/from the cruise (flying, stopping for gas or lunch, etc.). I agree with others ... if want to be sure not to get COVID on a cruise then you should NOT cruise now.

You do the swab, stick it in the "card" and then wait 15 minutes for the results. Tells you right away if you are negative or positive. Email is sent quickly. Definitely within 1/2 hour but I think it was almost immediate. We have used the proctored tests for 4 cruises and it works great.

Thankyou for the answer that I wanted. 😃 I start every cruise with a shrimp burrito and a beer. And I would rather use the free drinks for frozen drinks on a sunny sea day. I know it is only a few dollars difference but that's not the point.

Did you tell them when to use the free drinks OR was it the first 2 drinks you ordered after boarding?
