Harmony docked in Port Everglade this morning
island lady replied to mo&fran's topic in Royal Caribbean International
LOL....no worries for me. I live 20 miles away from PC. 😄 Obviously my favorite port. 😉 Will sometimes drive to Ft. Lauderdale (3 hours), but really detest that drive. The traffic and drivers on that highway are crazy nuts/dangerous! -
It was really the CLS cabins that were reduced the most. Many of those pax that were booked on Allure and could not be moved to the limited numbers...were offered JS cabins with full suite benefits. Most of those declined. I am very happy with our GS Allure move to Wonder. Quick call to CS to line up all three three legs into one cabin. 🙂

Earning Higher Award "Status"

Love...love...that perk! The most important...IMHO. And loving the snot out of that this year!! -
The RCI terminal ("revamped" old cargo terminal) is down a block or two from the multilevel garage. The port parking for that RCI terminal is a large open lot. There are other off shoot private parking facilities near there...but I don't recommend them from previous experience. If you are able to transfer down the block or two....I would try for the garage.

LOL....everyone mentions how "lucky" we Florida residents are to live so close to cruise ports....until a hurricane is breathing down our necks. 😄 Hurricane party anyone? 😉 Though I am worried about our friends in the Tampa/St. Pete/Ft. Myers area. Hoping Ian tames out in time to save them and property.

I always looked at it as making that next cruise....that much sweeter. 😉 -
We were supposed to do eastern last week, but Fiona changed it to western. Home now to "batten down the hatches" for Ian. But if Harmony is sticking to western...I assume she can go south, down under the already passing Ian. Might even pull the bad weather up with it, and give pax a nice weather week down there. Hoping. 🙂 I am checking my emergency supply of Spam right now...and baking some bread. Peanut butter...check!! Two cases of Dasani water...check. OK...now how do I keep my Sauvignon Blanc cold if we lose power??!! 😮

Who still does the older Royal ships, and....
island lady replied to klfhngr's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I usually do JS cabins on Radiance series. Agree about not being a fan of the GS on that series, and with no Coastal Kitchen...eh. But I will absolutely do the rare D1 balcony....as long as I can snag 9256. 😉 Which I prefer over JS 1100 due to that cabin being directly under noisy outdoor WJ. -

Exactly. This website is called "Cruise Critic" for a reason. 😉 -
Leave tomorrow, still don’t have luggage tags

Usually port authority...but there are RCI employees inside the terminal at times. One of them ushered us out to baggage claim this morning. 😉 -

RCI: Really Consistently Inconsistent. Though the tag police were more likely employees of the port. -

I did. The noisy fuel barge starting at 4 am outside our balcony, and the smell of diesel was not pleasant.
