sidari Posted November 9, 2019 #476 Share Posted November 9, 2019 At the end of our New Year's cruise we stayed on until around 10.30 then got off, breezed through immigration though there are more on Meraviglia than Divina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well ... you've seen the letter we've received warning about the length of time immigration may take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingFox27 Posted November 9, 2019 #480 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Our disembarkation was very quick and without issue in Miami this morning but fortunately we didn't have a full inspection. We left around 9.30am, had planned to have coffee in the TSL and use the last of our wifi but they'd logged us all out! We just got a yellow cab outside to the hotel, it was $35. We're staying next to the airport and the cab had a card machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted November 9, 2019 Author #481 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Thanks CF. Will email you when we get to the airport. 😘 Hope his nibs is girding himself! 🤣 Say "Hi" from us. 👋 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for taking the time to share so much great info! Question--do they use the wristbands in YC for everything on Meraviglia like they do on Seaside? Thanks for coming along with me! 😁 Yes, the bracelets work in the same way as on Seaside, though we never even took them off the cards they come with (we didn't bother with them on Seaview, either, as we don't like them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted November 9, 2019 Author #483 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Someone asked for the wine list from Butcher's Cut (apologies for not remembering who) We dined there last night so I managed to get it. The sommelier, however, provided us with a wine included in Premium Plus after first offering the Robert Mondavi CB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefish17 Posted November 9, 2019 #484 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Thanks for the BC wine list! Very useful. Glad you had a great cruise. Taxi to airport is a set price from the cruiseport around $25-27. The YC luggage will be in the terminal building closest to the exits. So walk past all the other bags to Gold section. Hopefully you wont have to wait too long to get thru immigration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefish17 Posted November 9, 2019 #486 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Anything $12 or under should be included in YC package. On Seaside, at Teppanyaki they got our wine from the YC bar by the bottle sent over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted November 9, 2019 #487 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Before you get in a taxi make sure to ask if their credit card reader is working. We’ve had them claim it isn’t. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Captain-John Posted November 10, 2019 #492 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Quite a journey, Bea! Sorry it has to end (at all), but especially with the prospect of a painfully slow disembarkation ahead. Glad you had a good time, and your cruise pipeline is in place to keep you going through the winter! 😛 Safe travels home all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CruiseIreland Posted November 10, 2019 #493 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hi Bea. I can't believe that 'our' latest cruise is now over. All in all, I can't help but feel that it was less than satisfactory although I realise that YC has made up for some of the shortfalls. I look forward to your overall views when you get back. Slan abhaile, Bea. Hope hubs is feeling good now. Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubs has been on wonderful form, apart from some minor issues with a build-up of gas that seems to come on when he has to walk anywhere for long, though only at some times. 🙄 He's still off the cigarettes and really feeling the benefits! 😀 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it proving to be as bad as they were warning? We've just arrived to the airport hotel now and finally have wifi. When I went to use the last of my shipboard allowance this morning , the connection had been shut down!!! Anyway .... we stayed onboard in TSL til 11.30am, drinking champagne, til they told us it was time to leave. There was nobody at immigration when we got there at 11.45. All the crowds were gone! We were on a shuttle bus by 12pm and arrived at the hotel at 12.30pm. We had the room booked for 10am to 6pm. They are allowing us to stay til 8pm. Check in is at 7pm for our 10pm flight and we've been told we can come back to the room once we've done that! 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Beamafar Posted November 10, 2019 Author #500 Share Posted November 10, 2019 So ... we're having our first ever visit to a Margaritaville (an 'Air' one). I've just had a Philly cheesesteak ................. without the cheese. 😱 (I know, I know - you've told me before ..... 🤣🤣) It was as bad as it looks! DH had the Beach sandwich, which he enjoyed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
