Thanks for the advice! Ended up booking the Sheraton Suites near the airport for $129 a night, and it has a separate living room so we can share with a friend. We don’t arrive until 7pm so decided that was our best bet. Then we can relax and enjoy a drink at the hotel bar. Another friend is arriving the following morning early (fingers crossed) so she’ll meet us all at the hotel and we can all go to the port together.
really looking forward to this cruise!! It’s our first since 2015 and we’re celebrating 3 birthdays onboard. A much needed celebration since none of us could celebrate the last two. Phew, I’m talking a lot. Thanks again, y’all.
