We are taking the Scarlet Lady in a few weeks Miami to Barcelona. Our ittinerary says we arrive in Barcelon at 0630. How late can we stay on the ship before we get the boot? I would like to use the ship's gym after breakfast if that's possible. And a completely random unrelated question that I have been meaning to ask.. Is soap, shampoo, and conditioner provided on VV?

Not sure why just the 2 choices but I think you would be better off at the Hampton Inn and Suites Brickell Downtown Miami.

OP use google maps. Pick an adress on the beach in an area your interested in. Click nearby hotels. Put in your date(s) and you will see prices and availablity.

Agreed... I would definately discuss my need for an early, relaible ride with the hotel staff. I am sure they are familiar with this typical problem and how best to handle it.

$107 for a flexible train ticket on Amtrak, Norfolk to Baltimore on 4/21. Cancel for a full refund if necessary. I would book this as a plan B before it sells out. I also would make sure I park my car where I would have access to it when I return the night of 4/21. Or if I decide to stay in Baltimore till 4/22 before driving I can get it then.

you can find tuk tuk tours on tripadviser

When returning to the ship from a port stop, does VV allow you to carry on a bottle of wine?

That is great to hear. I am booked next month and look forward to visiting the bar. As I research my trip I came up with the same question as the OP. I have decided to use the metro rail. My flight lands at 3 and I am pretty familiar with MIA and where to pu the metro rail.

Just did my first interior GTY with HA. I have learned here on CC that it's common for HA to assign closser to embarkation date so I was just waiting it out when they sent out a second round of upsell offers 20 days before my sale date. I ended up grabbing a midship balcony so I never did find out what my inside gty room would've been. This has been pretty standard since the restart. I have booked 3 gty inside cabins, 1 with HA, and 2 with another line. All 3 times I ended up taking an upsell offer to a balcony for a lot less than it would've cost at booking

Sorry I don't know... It was along a stretch of other resorts and beaches.

Just got back from a HA cruise that stopped in Cozumel. I did an excursion called ATV & Beach Adventure, sold through the cruiseline for about $100. It was a lot of fun and I would recommend it to anyone who wants an excursion that splits half the day blasting around a very challenging trail and the other half relaxing on a beautiful beach. It is a challenging ride and you need to be in decent shape. They break you into 3 groups based on experience. Even those who had never ridden an atv had a great time and did the full trail several times. Bring an old ball cap for under the provided helmet. I don't usualy recommend excursions through the cruiseline because I think they are often very over priced. This one was worth the money and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

bookbabe, what beach or access point would you recommend? I will be visiting on a cruise with a buddy. We are just looking to maybe buy a few local beers at a store and head to 7 mile beach. Not sure where we could go to hang out and maybe rent chairs. Can we bring beer to the beach?

How did it go?

How was boarding? Curios about what time your arrived at the terminal, was it crowded, and how long to get on? I am on next lol

Totaly agree.. And FLL is so close to PE it's just so convenient when coming in late. OP if you want to make sure you can have a nice dinner when you land I would find a restaurant in the area of FLL and PE then book a hotel with easy access to the restaurant.
