Rare MicCanberra Posted June 15, 2017 #527 Share Posted June 15, 2017 We tried but it didn't work . ;) Too bad, with so many inventions being made from sci- fi movies and such into reality, I just wish some of the more practical ones would be around now.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beach4me Posted June 15, 2017 #529 Share Posted June 15, 2017 So, how long did it take you to get through the lines when leaving the ship? We have been planning on staying on late for the first time ever (we're usually in the first group). We are spending the day/night post-cruise in Seattle and thought it might be nice to relax for a change rather than hurry off - but don't want to spend hours in lines with that decision.

It was about 30 minutes and 20 minutes in the cab line . We didn't use uber or lyft as others did , but that's quicker . In Port Everglades or Miami we usually self embark and drive home .

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted June 18, 2017 Author #537 Share Posted June 18, 2017 We saw some interesting sights on the walk back to the hotel like a tall tree growing in middle of a street . And a Starbucks Draft on tap This place was near to our hotel We went to whole food market to by a bottle of wine but it was surrounded by a tall wall . They had been caught selling to an underage minor and were shut down by the state ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted June 20, 2017 Author #544 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Now hungry and without wine , we asked the concierge where to we could go to get some wine and her told us . And so at great risk to life and limb we headed out to look for dinner and something to drink . And not far for there we spied our first pink elephant . We had found one of our favorite wines at a price below that of the ship And we stopped for some Pho to go and some chicken lettuce rolls which tasted wonderful in our hotel room !

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 20, 2017 #545 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The food and wine looks like nice for hotel room dining, I often do similar with Rosie when we are touring and she is tired. I go out 'Hunting and Gathering' as she calls it and bring back sustenance for the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted June 20, 2017 Author #547 Share Posted June 20, 2017 And all too soon we were at airport , ready to fly home Why is it that Americans always pack the area and sometimes try to board before they are called ? We were blessed to fly first class and on all 4 flights we have to squeeze past the groups every time in order to board . It really only slows down the boarding process for everybody . The last meal of our trip . Last stop P.B.I. around midnight . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted June 20, 2017 #548 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I don't think it is limited to Americans, although I must say that at our local airports they tend to queue rather group or crowd. Personally, (for the US situation) I blame the airlines for not enforcing the carry on luggage limitations. I think that people want to get on first and make sure they can store their luggage before it all gets taken. It can't be the seating as they are allocated already.

Because many airlines charge for checked bags people try to save money , and they don't have to wait for their luggage later if they carry all their luggage on board . I've also a number of people filling forward luggage compartments if they aren't full while sitting in an aft seat . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
