UBER charged us $73 to the Miami Airport. They only charged us $33 from the airport to the Cruise Port going. Take a Taxi. We used Lyft. From Port to airport it was I believe $48. We used one of the larger vehicles. There were 4 of us plus luggage. From the hotel to the airport $13 for 2 of us. Small car. $73 sounds high unless they picked you up in a Limo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think I could shoot much sliding down the biggest slide so I left the phone. I wish I would of taken it. Here are pics from the smaller slides. This is a view of where the CocoCay employees stay. This is the first time I have seen a photo of this area - cool - thank you. A lot more housing units than what I thought there would be. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Uber will change their prices based on day and hours of your ride but $73 sounds like you selected one of their upgraded services instead of the regular uber option. May want to look at the app to see your billing information and dispute it online if there is a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC has made dummies to look like people on the wall. Those slides look so skinny! Do they have a walk through frame to show you’ll fit? Like putting your carry on into the box to see if it will fit in the overhead? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy said since the ship was later than others he got to sleep in to 6:00am. BTW,...On the road again, sure feels good to be on the road again. We just ate at Olive Garden and now headed to Huntsville! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great that DW's family came to the rescue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted October 11, 2021 Author #585 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hiro was canceled twice on us due to weather the first night and tech the next. They had it a third night but we had something else scheduled. We did see some. 20211005_223740_1.mp4 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't you just decline the ride and take a cab instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare perfect match Posted October 12, 2021 #592 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Glad SW finally came through for you today, and you were able to get home. DH and I are both glad we live in Central FL with so many cruise ports within fairly easy driving distance from us. 😎 Thanks again for taking time to share your cruise and photos with us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted October 12, 2021 Author #594 Share Posted October 12, 2021 All good things must come to an end so it’s time to wrap this live review up. Sure there are more pics and experiences to share but if I keep going it will turn into a memory review. Thank you for sharing this adventure with me. This was an enjoyable first review and because of you, the encouragement, the thanks, and the enjoyment you showed, it would be very hard not to do it again. Reviews can be a challenge but y’all made it worth it. There are many reasons why we follow Cruise Critics. The main reason we love to cruise. I, like many, have been here trying to figure out, is it time to get back. I am still there with vacationing over seas. My main concern was if I book a cruise will it get canceled again. I believe those concerns are over for cruising out of the states. All things can change as SW pointed out to me again, but in life we need to be able to take at least some chance to enjoy the things we love including cruising. Some concern is safety and I understand. We have all had different experiences. Living through this in a rural area of Arkansas is different than the big cities. I have learned to respect other people concerns. This is my thought, take it for what it’s worth. If you are feeling comfortable walking into Home Depot, Walmart, or other public places you will be comfortable on a ship. If you’re still not sure, try some land vacations and build up your confidence for a cruise. Thanks again. It was so fun. I just thought of a fun riddle to end with. I will post the answer with a picture after some have a chance to guess. What brings great joy, happiness and will lift you when it greets you but can bring you down in the end? The answer is ship related. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted October 12, 2021 #596 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Bravo! Well done John. I couldn't agree more about what CC does for all of us. We have become family. Thank you for letting us be a part of yours. Hopefully we will be on a cruise together some day. First drink is on me. Cheers! Greg 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the riddle, the answer is more a sound for me — that beep the sea pass scanner makes when boarding or disembarking the ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beep is a great guess but I did not have my hearing aids in when boarding and leaving. 😂 You will see it. And when you do the first day it will lift you up but the last day it will let you down. We need a few more guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
