  1. @Looking 4Answers it applies to all suites. There is no charge.
  2. 3/15/24. On our way to FLL in the van. Can’t believe it’s been 71 days since we set off on our journey. In some ways it seems so long ago and in others it seems like it was just yesterday. Long day heading home and back to reality. thank you one and all for traveling with us! Look for final thoughts and review after I deal with reality for a bit.
  3. @BBGrace273 thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it. Glad you followed along and feel free to ask more questions as they come up. @canderson turns out we have one small bag to check. Going to try and stand by for an earlier flight part way so I’m hoping they’ll let us check our bag a bit early. Don’t care when the bag arrives as the last leg of our flight will be the same time no matter what flight we get out of FLL. Just want a bit less time in FLL and a more connecting in IAH.
  4. @caviargal I enjoyed it too much. If not they weren’t swabbing the deck I would do the track I’m so full. @FlyerTalker thanks for the heads up. I believe it’s 4 hours and we don’t have anything to check. We will be with friends and however it plays out it will be fine. Just can’t worry any more. It’s going to be a long tedious day, just have to make the best of it.
  5. Most of us in the GV have had a spectacular cruise full of Wonderful people, interesting ports and exceptional service. We are of the consensus that this was a debacle but no need to let it ruin 70 great days so we too will put it behind us.
  6. It is what it is. Nothing to be done but move on. Just makes for a crazy long day. Planning a party in the lounge at FLL with friends. Best we can do!
  7. The Captain said he is trying for a 10 am arrival but we will still have to clear the ship etc. but there is hope. Doesn’t matter for those of us flying.
  8. Slept through the whole thing. When I woke up we were under way at high speed which makes for a nice breeze on the balcony. Not sure what will come of arriving early for those of us flying. Will just mean more time at the airport as I doubt we will find earlier flights. Happy for those that will get to see friends or arrive home sooner due to being able to drive. Not looking forward to killing an entire day while waiting for our 5 pm flight. No flights between 11:30 and 5 unfortunately.
  9. I did for my husband and it was fine. I only had one silk dress with me and for some reason I never wore it. (Major overpacked this time).
  10. 3/12/24 San Juan. We didn’t do much. Just cleared immigration and walked around. Some light packing. Had dinner with friends and went to the pool party.
  11. @Sweetpea711423 not exactly sure what wet cleaning is but I do know it’s more environmentally friendly then dry cleaning. I used it a lot for clothes that I’d normally wash in cold and hang to dry which is many of my dresses and some specialty shirts of Nick’s. I did not use it for wool or cashmere because I was uncertain not because anything happened. Since we have been in humid climates we will need to clean and wash everything at home anyway. However it was very useful along the way. @poinsettiaplate hmm didn’t notice though had no trouble reading the menu in SALT. I think the others may require a reading light if you are not seated under a light. All the restaurant have windows so will depend on how much ambient light there is. Time of year and local will make a difference. Id plan on a clip on directional LED light and you should be fine.
  12. We didn’t get the invite to the photo shoot. Maybe our butler remembered I thought it was stupid and annoying. sorry you can not disembark earlier. I will keep my fingers crossed it works out better for you at the last minute. We are flying West so arriving very late instead of at dinner time. Our June cruise we arrived 6 hours late and had to overnight on July 4 because we couldn’t get a flight out. That was easier then this and I wished I was able to organized it that way but our daughter is meeting us at our house from out of town for the weekend and the thought of losing precious time with her will keep us motivated to make back to NM. We keep changing our cruise formula. Used to be we would arrive the day before departure- now we arrive 2 days before (or more) and now we are going to plan to overnight when we disembark. We are getting to old for all this cha cha and arriving home late and tired.
  13. The consensus onboard. Fabulous cruise, staff and ship. The photo shoot unfortunate stupidity but not letting it ruin the cruise. sorry didn’t make it to the Venetian thing. Will let you know if anyone did.
  14. @sloppjohnb - I will try and go to it though I’m highly unreliable when it comes to these things.
  15. @caviargal come if you want. No one checks or cares. I will talk to my Butler and cabin steward before making a final decision about vacating the room. While I don’t plan to rush in the morning. They are the ones that will feel the burden the most of this fiasco. I do plan to leave our Carry on and husband’s guitar in the cabin until close to disembarking. We won’t use the bathroom or anything when we come to retrieve them.
