Preparing for the Lunar eclipse Sunday, not sure how well I'll do being on a moving ship, but I'm willing to try.

 Was on this cruise a week ago and thought I wouldn’t like the fact that you don’t get your card at check in but it actually sped up the process.  They didn’t have the welcome aboard Cruise Compass but - here’s a tip - the “washy washy” guy at the entrance to the Windjammer has them. You just have to ask.   Beautiful upgrades to this ship!

No sea pass card at check in? I remember this from the Anthem last year but didn't realize this was now the procedure on other ships. I was on Oasis in November and we picked up our sea pass at check-in. If you pre-purchase wifi, how do you get the code right away?

Ask for the code at check in or at GS on board. 

[dreadpirate3]

On board!

Parking questions

Will AOS always depart from terminal 29?

Is there parking next to that terminal?

 

Tell me about mid port garage. Do you drop off luggage first then proceed to park car?

Thx in advance

No guarantee that Adventure will always be at terminal 29.  My recollection is that the nearest parking lot requires a shuttle ride.

Our cabin.

No parking at terminal 29. You can drop off luggage and passengers, then head to mid port and catch a free shuttle back.  Kind of a pain in the ass. 

 

I imagine the reverse is really going to be a Royal PIA.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I think it might be Beringer White Zinfandel.

 

It's the largest selling wine in the fleet.

I will second that, with confidence.
