Love a road trip to a cruise!! We're flying for the first time in quite a while in a couple of weeks. Seeing your road trip makes me a little jealous 😉. Looking forward to the rest of your review!
I definitely will. I'm going to have my son video it. BTW, I'm not talking about little kids, the grandkids are teenagers. One asked to go on a cruise with us for his birthday. We are beyond excited.
We have 10:30 arriving time. The port shuttle from our hotel only has 2 runs, 9:30 and 1:30. My son is driving down from Orlando and there seems to be a lot of construction along the way so he wants to get a super early start. The plan is to do a geo cashe for the kids to follow and we'll be the the "treasure". We'll be in constant contact with DS via texts.
We have used Trip Advisor for many excursions in various ports. Just be mindful of the times of return to port. We always opt for very early start times with getting back to port a few hours before all aboard time. A lot of excursions guarantee timely return to port.
We're cruising with our son and his family. I'll be doing the platinum check in two days early. Our bookings are linked. He asked if I can check them in, too. I don't think so, but I told him I would check. Is this doable?
