Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. 'Thanks for all of the great info, Guest 2000. Somehow I missed seeing the notification of your response, hence the delay in responding. 😉 I do appreciate all of your comments and suggestions!
  2. Guest 2000, what are you favorite places to snorkel in Roatan? We've snorkeled a couple times each at: 1. From shore at the Tabayana beach area 2. From boat at the Blue Channel. We have always loved the Blue Channel area, but wonder if there are other spots we should try to go? I know some people have said they thought Maya Key was really good, and another mentioned Little French Key. I also read about Big French Key. I would love to hear your thoughts, and why you like certain areas. Thanks!!
  3. Discover Messina was at the port to pick up groups for several different tours. They were a little disorganized with our particular group, but the rest all went off on time. Our small bus had people going on two different tours. The people giving info enroute were good. We were on a tour of Taormina with a Pizza making class. The tour was good, as they provided headsets, but with a mix-up, there weren't enough, so it was a little confusing as the guides had to talk louder. I still enjoyed the tour. The Pizza Making was just OK. Part of the group did the pizza making with one guide, and the other half of people from the tour bus got back on the bus and went to Castlemola. They came back and got the rest of us after our pizza making, and we all arrived back to the ship in time for our ships reboarding time.
  4. We have always cruised out of Miami, so have seen lots of things around there. In February 2024, we are again cruising out of Miami, and are flying into Miami, as we were able to find flights half the price of flying into FLL. We arrive on Friday, February 16, 2024, and don't sail until Sunday, February 18, 2024. Any idea what an Uber, taxi, etc would cost from MIA to a Ft Lauderdale area hotel? Open to suggestions on things to see or do, hotels to consider, etc. We just want to relax and see some things without spending a lot of money. We are not lay out at the beach all day people, but don't mind exploring beach areas, shops, walking around, etc. I'm guessing we would then take one of the shuttle companiees' transportation from our hotel to the port of Miami on Sunday. Is it worth doing, or do we stay in Miami and find something to fill time there? We would love to hear your ideas. Thanks! Sandy
  5. Jolyroger, what did you think of the square cabin on the Celebration when you went in April? We are looking at booking one rather than the long rectangular room.
  6. Thank you, John Bull for a very informative and respectful reply. It is much appreciated.
  7. Over from NZ, are you also on the Enchanted Princess? That is the same date and times that we are there. We booked one of the excursions offered by Discover Messina https://discovermessina.com/ They offer several that pick up from the cruise terminal at 12:30 pm (or half hour after the ship docks. We've never been here before, so have no first hand experience with them. They had good reviews on Tripadvisor, but we booked directly with them, as it was less expensive than thru TA.They were very helpful and responsive in getting us rebooked when I accidently booked the 15th instead of the 14th. OOPS!
  8. Thanks, CruiserBruce. That's what I thought, but now I can tell that to my sister who didn't believe me.
  9. When in Greece, Athens and Santorini, we have independent (not cruise ship) excursions and private tours booked. We wondered if we will need Euros in order to tip our guides, or if US dollars are accepted for tips?
  10. We were wondering aproximately how much time it has been taking people to get from the Port of Miami to FLL airport on a Saturday morning? We are considering using SAS Transportation. We have a noon flight, but do NOT have TSA pre-check. Thanks!
