I looked up on cruise deck plans site and your room is a connecting room also. above your room is the casino too. I would change if I could and try to let the cruiseline pick your room again.

thanks I won't book the Hilton then

I have discovered that if you try to make RCI and Celebrity password the same it won't be accepted. I mean I try to make one digit difference too. very odd if trying to go into Celebrity and then RCI each time they want password updated. so very odd

Sorry you will miss Stanley park as it was great place to walk and I slept well that night and legs were sore too

Thanks I will most likely do the bus rather than lugging suitcases on train. Just have to hope no delay of flights so I will book a bus 3 hours after arrival

If the beach is on Nevis and is the same one I went to, there is a deep decline down to the water. And the vendors bothersome too. A lot of times the strenuous part is getting in and out of bus or boats and some of the walkways too.

well now all this just makes me less inclined to EVER go on MSC. They are building a new terminal in Miami, and they will need to treat folks better given the competition.

oh good to know.

I have been to London 5 times now and I want to just get down to Southampton and spend a day there. I would be by myself and not sure if I want to have a stranger drive me for more than an hour. I would feel safer on the bus. I do see there are hotels within walking distance of bus terminal but a taxi is fin. Lot of thinking before taking cruises from Southampton. Did one in 2019 with Celebrity and i had a hotel package with transfer. Now I think some ships want us to use train or bus on our own, Appreciate all you for your comments and who knows I might go into London for a day too.

aw thanks I will give Dover a pass. Sounds like lots of roads in UK are busy.

do the trains fill up and need reserving. I also worry if the plane is late about my bus so I would make sure I had a 4 hour cushion or more.

aw thanks for your nice reply. I will prebook like you said and pick the option if I get delayed. A little worried about getting to Southampton as a lot of cruise lines no longer have hotel packages with transportation. They send you to the trains. I am glad I did Celebrity in 2019 with hotel packages. Nice to know bus goes to Dover. I remember when more ships like say Disney went out of Dover. Hal is no longer even doing cruises out of Copenhagen. In fact, a lot of ships have pulled out of Copenhagen as well as Amsterdam. I guess water issues and locals complaining just like Bar Harbor and Key West. Glad I did Bar Harbor last year and the year before on Adventure OTS. You must come over to Miami and get on the ICON OTS. I will be on her in 4 weeks and looking forward to seeing the layout. BTW where I live in PA, I will have 90% of the solar eclipse and will watch tv coverage and not look at the sun. Well now good to chat with you.

and you have a great cruise director named BAL. I had him last year. He is great with kids. Enjoy trip, Can't say I remember ever being in Freeport.

one of these days I would love to try P&O but unsure if I can book from USA. I read that you have never been on a Holland ship even though you are on their threads is that True? glad you had a nice time. So next year I am sailing out of Southampton (Emerald Princess) and hope to take the National Express from Heathrow. Is it true reservations are not necessary? Also, thinking perhaps a train from London. Lastly, is Dover easy to get to from Heathrow? bye for now I am sure you as well as others are disappointed that RCI is putting the Indy again in UK ports.

I saw them 15 years ago. Wow they are still going. Well enjoy having John back and I guess he can miss China and Japan. two places I am reluctant to go to on my own.
