srq2003 Posted July 29, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Decided to go with an obstructed view cabin on deck 8. Anyone else stayed in one before? We only care about getting some natural light in the cabin (to make sure we are up before sunrise every morning to watch it). Of course it would be nice to see a little of the ocean as we sail by... Leaving Sept 6th and cant wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish1c Posted July 29, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2004 The obstruction is that if you look up you can see the bottom of the life rafts. You can still see the water & some bit of the ports. You can only see a peek of sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srq2003 Posted July 29, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Sounds great. Anyone else on Sept 6th? Also, anyone have suggestions for an inexpensive hotel on south beach for a night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkfrank Posted July 29, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2004 My SO and I are heading out on the 9/6 sailing w/ ya. We're flying into MIA on Sunday, and are staying @ the Hyatt. I got a room there for about $40 + taxes via Priceline (bid on 3* downtown zone hotels). No shuttles, but I believe taxis charge by the zone (e.g. airport zone to downtown is about $25, and it's about $10 to the port from the Hyatt), so the savings by using Priceline more than offset the cost of the taxi, imho ;) Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srq2003 Posted July 30, 2004 Author #6 Share Posted July 30, 2004 We live in Sarasota (about 3-4 hours away on the gulf coast) and we are driving in a day early hoping to catch some Labor Day fun on South Beach the night before! Being a holiday weekend all the nice places in the art deco district are sold out or 200+, ill look a few more times, but might just have to take something much cheaper on the mainland! If we do, what areas have some night life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammallama Posted August 12, 2004 #7 Share Posted August 12, 2004 My friend and I are going on the Majesty Sept. 6th, too. Maybe we should all get together for a sail away drink (or 2 ;) )? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizardhowson Posted August 13, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Sounds great. Anyone else on Sept 6th? Also, anyone have suggestions for an inexpensive hotel on south beach for a night? No such thing on South Beach !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammallama Posted August 13, 2004 #10 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Frank--When are you arriving in Miami? Our flight comes in around 12:30 and I plan on going right to the ship. (Barring all hurricane delays!). As soon as we board, we'll probably head right for the pool bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkfrank Posted August 13, 2004 #11 Share Posted August 13, 2004 We're flying in the day before on Sunday and spending the night @ the Hyatt downtown. I'm shooting for getting to the docks around 11am or so, and getting on asap to grab a beverage, look around, and find a place to begin my vegetative state ;) I'll be the pale white one, slathered in SPF 1000 lotion :D We can try and figure out a place/time to look out for each other...

mammallama Posted August 13, 2004 #12 Share Posted August 13, 2004 SPF 1000! Too funny! I have been poolside most of the summer, but right now it's cold outside! I'm fading fast! Weird weather we've been having. I need a vacation! :D I'll be the one with 2 drinks in my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdouglas Posted August 14, 2004 #13 Share Posted August 14, 2004 My DP and I are flying in Sunday and staying near airport. Just taking RC shuttle. 2nd time on Majesty. On Deck 9 again and even those have a slight obstruction when you look down---you see tops of lifeboats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
