We are on Explorer from Miami to Rome April 23, 2023

We are sailing on RCL Explorer of The Seas April 23rd to Rome.

I read that the airiport is approx. 8 KM from the port. It said nothing aat the port no public transportation there. Need to do Uber or taxi, not sure, but this is what I read. Check expedia for hotels, that should help you some.

Just call Carnival and they will let you know.

Have you googled Hotels in Brisbane? Also Expedia.com has hotels listed, seem very nice and reasonable there.

Does anyone know when Carnival will start showing tours in Japan, the Phillipines and Indonesia. By now they should have them set up, I am a little bit worried of having any? Mary

Yes, the underground tour is great many original buildings of Seattle.

Hi, this is Mary and Jim for Asheville, NC, if a private whale watching tour is started we would definitely be interested. Just let us know, my email is maryslaughter 67 at g mail dot com

In Seattle be sure to take the underground tour of original buildings. Have never seen anything like it, we really enjoyed it.

Lucyloo Lucyloo, I see that you live in Australia. Have you been to Brisbane? If so how close is the port to the airport?

Welcome Brenda and Marsha, looking forward to meeting ya'll. This is going to be a great cruise. Mary

Hello Belkin, you stated you have worked in Seattle quite a bit. We are arriving mid day the day before sailing. What is the best way to get to the ddock area? We are staying at Marriott close to where our ship will be. Thanking you in advance Mary and Jim

What we do not like with Carnival you have to let your TA speak with Carnival flight department, not you. I like to go over flight times and seat assignments and talk with the flight department myself. Can not do that with Carnival, they will only talk to the TA if you are using one. Never had this problem with many other cruise lines that we use. They wanted us to fly into Seattle at 8:50pm. We are staying at the port area and did not want to arrive that late, not knowing what it is like near Pikes Market in Seattle. So we booked air on our own. On another note, is anyone planning on organzing a cabin crawl for our cruise on a sea day? Have never been on a Costa ship, the pictures we have seen, it looks very nice. Mary
