I definitely will. I'm going to have my son video it. BTW, I'm not talking about little kids, the grandkids are teenagers. One asked to go on a cruise with us for his birthday. We are beyond excited.

We'll make sure DS has them distracted.

We have 10:30 arriving time. The port shuttle from our hotel only has 2 runs, 9:30 and 1:30. My son is driving down from Orlando and there seems to be a lot of construction along the way so he wants to get a super early start. The plan is to do a geo cashe for the kids to follow and we'll be the the "treasure". We'll be in constant contact with DS via texts.

Haha. I will be wearing a big floppy hat and sunglasses. I'm not so worried about them seeing me, it's the hubs that will probably give it away.

It does make sense, thank you. I'm sure we'll be constantly texting with my son to try to coordinate things.

Another silly question, how visible is this from the general waiting area? We are trying to not be seen.

Does anyone have a picture of the platinum area?

I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to but DS insisted I find out.

We're you both platinum or just you?

Nice, do Plats have another waiting area?

We have used Trip Advisor for many excursions in various ports. Just be mindful of the times of return to port. We always opt for very early start times with getting back to port a few hours before all aboard time. A lot of excursions guarantee timely return to port.

We're cruising with our son and his family. I'll be doing the platinum check in two days early. Our bookings are linked. He asked if I can check them in, too. I don't think so, but I told him I would check. Is this doable?

We haven't sailed out of Miami since turning platinum. Is there a separate waiting area? We will be sailing with my son and family and we are surprising the grandkids, they don't know we'll be sailing with them. We don't want them to see us before we board.

I really don't have a favorite entree. There are a couple desserts I like. Grand Mariner souffle and Bitter and Blanc. I get these every cruise.

I've seen this on the menu but have never tried it. It looks really good. Can you tell them how you want the steak cooked? The above is just a touch rarer than I like.
