We usually stay at the Hampton Inn/H2S - very convenient to Publix and CVS for those last minute items / snacks. We like to eat outside and watch the foot traffic while enjoying an early meal.

It could be - their are quite a few Irish Pubs in the Tampa Bay area..........it looked like the business was well established. Maybe you were at one of these pubs??? https://tampabaydatenightguide.com/irish-restaurants-and-pubs-in-tampa/ Sorry that the Bill's didn't make it to the BIG game............our Miami Dolphins didn't make it either.

We are on this cruise and will be following your posts. Suites are not in our retirement budget, so I'll be interested in the differences between standard and the Suite experience. We have eaten at Maloney's in downtown - food has been excellent especially their grouper and burgers, A real friendly place with both indoor and outdoor dining. The location is a few blocks walk from the Hyatt Place downtown. https://www.maloneyslocalirishpub.com/maloneysmenu Safe travels to Tampa...........hope to see you on board.

I will have to e-mail you what your "creation" resembles!!!!!!!!

Paula and Jim, Mean Mary and I hope that you have a fantastic cruise(s). We will be following the thread and taking care of things back here in Florida. Bon Voyage!!!!

I have seen this paparazzi guy before - beware!!!!! He's always shadowing someone and sometimes he pops up behind a bar drinking wine............just sayin'

Looks like our experience in Vancouver at Canada Place with 4 ships in port and all funneled into one terminal. Those lines went inside, outside, up and down in elevators and escalators. Disney World was easier!!!

The cost is per day and all within a cabin must purchase the program. Prices do vary. https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/how-can-i-purchase-the-key

Sounds like "The Key" program that Royal Caribbean has had for several years.

We loved the Edge - the ship is beautiful, lots of open spaces to relax, the decor is "fresh" - simple elegance. Lots of food venues and MDR choices (try them all). We enjoy Cafe al Bacio a lot. Our cabin of choice is a full balcony - not the infinite verandas.

We will have our first cruises (B2B) on the Equinox in January of 2025 out of Port Canaveral. I hope that some / most of the issues will be addressed and corrected by this time. We have cruised on the Eclipse, Millennium, Summit, Infinity, Edge and this coming February on the Constellation.

I just returned from our Celebrity Summit cruise to Canada & New England and brought back to the ship a dozen donuts purchased in Portland, Maine - no problem bringing them on board. There was a man about 5 people ahead of me in the security line that put his box of donuts in the plastic security tray and nothing was said. I had my box of Holy Donuts in a paper bag and they were not questioned.

Totally agree on the West End Cafe..............my wife had the lobster roll special - I had the haddock au gratin casserole............both excellent and we both had the clam chowder (Mmmmmm good) and the blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream (fantastic)!!!!! We missed DiMillo's but have eaten there before and it is great.

I bet that the security folks would eat them.............it is a SIN to throw away Holy Donuts!!!!

We share with the crew too!!!!! It is a good thing that I don't live in Portland because I'd be 500 pounds!!!!
