Just wanted to circle back to thank you both. My cruises and Amtrak experience has always been more to the north than to the south. I'm glad to know I won't need to spend a post-cruise night in Miami.

Amtrak from Miami

Miami's Amtrak station is 15-20 miles from the cruise port. If I do self-embark, do you think I'd have enough time to make a 11:30 AM train departure? I'm okay with arriving a day early, but would...

Few things are as stressful for me as driving, especially driving in unfamiliar areas. I like trains, and take Amtrak to a cruise port whenever I can. If I end up sailing from Miami or Tampa at the...

You will watch different parts of the same movie throughout the week in your cabin, but you will never see the movie in its entirety.

I wash my hair whenever it needs it. I'm a big fan of keeping things simple: shampoo only, never conditioner. I finish up with gel or mousse before blowdrying. It works for me.

I love NCL, so I'd go for any NCL ship that'd fit under the bridge on any itinerary at all. The most likely ships are probably the Sky and maybe Spirit or Jade. Any of 'em would work.

Oh, and to answer the OP...

I detest assigned seating, and won't do it. Period. If I can't get some form of open seating, and still want to take that particular cruise, then I'll eat in the Lido....

That's a fair question. I dislike driving, especially when I don't know where I'm going. I also like to do my part to keep fewer vehicles on the road. Mostly, though, I just like taking public...

Ahhh, the Clover Grill. I understand Earl is no longer there. What a shame; it isn't often you come across a waiter built like a linebacker, who could sing like Liza, and pranced like a Rockette.

Nah, not really. The ship passes a few small islands and a very small lighthouse or two on the way in, but that's about it.

I didn't actually try them, but I saw them close-up. They're a soft, thick knit, almost like stretchy light flannel. I know they'd be way too hot for me, but YMMV.
