More questions: 1. Is it easy for a TA to pick cabins? I'm seeing a lot of guarantees, but no ability to pick my cabin on the website. This could be user error. 2. How is the buffet? Right now, the only dinning available seems to be late, which is a no go. 3. Is there a hot tub or spa in the spa area, or just thermal rooms? Thanks!

Sounds like Yuma formal is fine then. Thanks!

Very interested on hearing your thoughts on the Panorama cruise. Our experiences were interesting.

Good to know, I love a good soup!

Interesting. Thanks!

Looking at a Beyond ABC cruise in the fall. Thank you for the answer, very helpful!

Update report on offsite parking for the Panorama: They are using at least three garages on or near Golden Shore across the bridge from the terminal. It is a mess. You must sit in the back-up to get into the terminal to get the piece of paper that allows you into the garages. Plan on getting there at least an hour before your arrival appointment. The whole process took us 90 minutes. Although they say they will accommodate mobility issues, I saw zero evidence of this. We had to park on a garage roof and take stairs back down to the street. The hubs pulled the car out and met all of us on the street after the cruise, as we had people that couldn't walk stairs. The shuttle to the terminal was good. The shuttle back got lost. We bailed out on a corner near the garage and called it good. People were grumpy, as even getting on the shuttle at the terminal was confusing. If you can, use a park and cruise hotel. Do anything in your power to not park at the port provided parking until they get a better handle on the logistics.

The oversite lot they sent us to, barely accommodated compact cars. I'd find a hotel where you can park the truck for the duration and uber/taxi/shuttle to and from the terminal.

Firenze is getting the parking garage.

Any tips, advice, or just general knowledge that you want to share? How dressy does one have to be? Can you get by with jeans and collared shirts or do you need to step it up a notch? Favorite dishes?

Good timing, I'm looking at a Southern Carribean cruise on Beyond. I want all the details. lol.

Thank you for taking me on the cruise I almost booked. Going to have to book an ABC cruise one of these days.

Having just stayed in a sideways cabin, you are right. The television location is bad. Liked the feeling of the extra room, due to the lay out. Our door also had a major light leaks all around. Didn't need a night light.

See you there!

Where can I leave my car for the week that's not the cruise terminal? And expect it to be there in one piece when I get back?
