I used up the last of my OBC last night on an airport transfer. 9:30. It was on my door this morning.

 

 

 

Are you going to hang out at the airport all day?

[Slainte57]

Thanks for the great cruise. Safe travels

Yeah. Looks like I’ll get there 10:30-11. Get checked in by noon. Football starts at 1.

Thanks, Greg. Great job as always.  Enjoy your day in the Ft. Lauderdale airport watching football.  🤦🏼‍♀️

Safe travels home. Great review.  Between you and Sid we're getting a back-to-back😁

[PJDH4]

Thank you for such a great review!  In between taking all those pictures and answering so many questions for all of us, I hope you took so time to relax and enjoy!

[pcvtmom]

Excellent review, as always! Thanks so much for your effort.

[DeanDeeDee]

Really enjoyed your Celebration review.  I took a lot of notes for my cruise in May!!  Safe travels home.

My 9:30 transfer bus has arrived just shy of 10am.

 

So it may be after 11 before i get to the airport

A lady told me you aren’t allowed to take pictures in the port area. I said well I’m in ALOT of trouble then.

This transfer cost me $36. Well it was mostly OBC. But it would’ve been 36. Here are the current Uber/Lyft prices

 

 

[Saint Greg]

If I were going to MIA the transfer would’ve been $22. Let’s check those prices

I received $25 in cash on Elation over Thanksgiving.  Gave it all back to the casino😉

[Saint Greg]

I don’t know if they’re combining this with a later transfer or if they’re standing out there selling tickets or what but we still have not left.

[Saint Greg]

I don’t know if you guys remember the guy who I talked to in p&a the other day who cruises 24 weeks a year. He’s behind me on the transfer bus again and talking

My ear off again. And I don’t think he remembers we talked the other day because he’s talking like that conversation never happened. Maybe because I wasn’t wearing my hat on the ship. But man he likes to talk.

I pre-booked my Lyft pick-up for when Celebration gets back on Dec 11th for $17.  Did the same vid the trip to port this am.  $17 plus tip

Seating is a problem in the center stage area. Every big show I saw there, I stood for. Which I don’t mind. But when it’s so bad that you can’t find a place to stand and watch it, that’s a problem. Those pictures look pretty good right? But all of those my arms were stretched as high as possible because I was behind three videographers that stood up and held their camera up for the entire show and it’s the only way I could get a shot of the entire stage without them in it.

 

 

Did the standing videographers have seats?  If I was seated behind them I would want them to sit down.

[Saint Greg]

Now I hear this guy on the phone. He’s saying Lee’s first announcement was for everyone with their own luggage and luggage tags 1-18…which tells me he missed the 7:30am and 8am announcements and only heard the 8:35.

    This happened with us on the Vista in July. Bought the 9am transfer ticket, on the bus around 8:45 and didn’t leave for another hour. People were fuming and a lot of talk about missing flights because of it. 
 

   A couple of people hopped off and grabbed an Uber to avoid missing their flights.

They probably won’t do it but for jubilee they need to take the bar out. Or move it closer to Havana and put another section of tiered seating there.

My only other transfer was the opposite. In Seattle I had like a 9:30 and got to leave on an earlier bus.

Maybe with current gas prices they are trying to maximize and wait until the bus is filled. When people were bitching, they said “The times don’t matter that you buy.”

 

I will stick to Uber from now on. Good luck!
