There are garages across the street from each terminal. Note: you may not come back to the same one you left from.

Thank you

Curious about the parking at the Port of Miami cruise terminal. My husband and I are sailing on the Vista on Feb 11th and we were wondering if they have covered parking and how far is it from the terminal.

Thanks

18th January and still the same, not even 1oz. I'm going to reduced my carb intake. Poor dog has sore paws with the amount of walking we are doing ha ha. Maybe start walking up and down the stairs between patiences. It's so disappointing when you are trying so hard and your body is not responding, but I'm giving up.

 

Congratulations to everyone else you are doing so well with your weight losses

Jay888, a reduction in your carbs will get you going, stay under 20 carbs a day, no sodas and you'll do just fine.

Really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing.:)

I'm down 27.9lbs and have another 5-1/2 lbs left to go before our Feb 11th cruise, which leaves me just a tad over 3 weeks. I wasn't sure I was going to make it to my goal weight, but it's in sight and with a little push to the finish line I think it's doable. I've been living a low-carb lifestyle since early October after being inspired by my daughters weight-loss and I'm so happy I gave it a try. My other 3 daughters have jumped onboard and are steadily losing weight as well, this will be cause for a new family photo!

My ticker says 25! I will never schedule another cruise 9 months out, it has felt like an eternity! This is the first time we've done that, and we only did it that way because the Vista is a newer ship, typically we book our cruises 3 months out. Come on February 11th!

Officially under 30....29 more days until we cruise!!!! That's a big deal!

31 days, it's right around the corner, I can finally see it in sight!

Interesting, how does that happen?!

Well, I've decided to just go ahead and err on the side of caution and requested the ID card from my doctors office, not to bypass the wand, but just for peace of mind and I may need at some point down the road.

We cruised (Vista Transatlantic) in October after my knee replacement on June. I never set off any alarms when I went through ship security upon embarkation nor returning from port. I also never brought any paperwork because my ortho said they can easily be faked by anyone with a computer and printer. I figured the scar on my knee was proof enough but I didn't get to show it to anyone. ;)

I agree!

It was a while back, but I don't see what good a letter will do. They will still need to use the wand to make sure that the metal is in fact coming from your knee(s). Otherwise someone that had metal anywhere in them could still carry a weapon onboard if all they did was look at the letter and wave you through.

True, I would imagine they will wand me anyway, which I can't say I mind, I'd rather they be proactive with their security measures. I guess that may be additional reinforcement and then again, what one representative says may be very different from another, so who knows if I'm even getting accurate information.

My wife had both knees replaced 7 years ago. She carried a letter with her to show security...but they always pulled her aside....and checked her knee with their magic wand.

She no longer carries the letter.. tells them both knees replaced ...and it takes 5 seconds to wand her knees....and she's on her way!

Enjoy your cruise!

Yes, I figured they would likely wand my knee and that's fine. I'll request the letter "just in case".

Thanks

MIL had the same thing. Forgot about that and she set off the metal detectors. She let them know and they pulled her over to the side and used a wand. No big deal.

How long ago was this? I just called Carnival's member services and was told that if I didn't have an issued ID card to bring a letter and that I would likely need to show it every time I get back on the ship from the ports we stop at. If that's the case, why can't they program that into your onboard card so that you don't have to carry that everywhere you go? I know based on setting the detector off for jury duty at the courthouse that I'm likely to set them off there too.

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone has the answer to this question.

I had a total knee replacement 2 years ago and this is the first cruise I've been on since then. My husband I are sailing on the Vista next month and it occurred to me today that I had better check to see if I need some kind of paperwork for security checkpoint purposes. I know years ago when my mother had knee replacement surgery the doctors office provided her with an ID card, but I never received anything like that, perhaps times have changed. I've got a call into my ortho's office and am waiting to hear back from them and want to make sure I provide them with the information I will need. Do I need a letter or ID card, is this going to be an issue when I go to check in for our cruise?

Thanks in advance for the help to this question.

My husband and I have done both, and they both have their perks. We love the balcony cabins because of the view, and as someone else said, my husband enjoys going out on the balcony and reading while I get ready. At times we prefer the inside cabin for a few different reasons, we don't have to endure the slamming of balcony doors at ungodly hours and we like how dark the room is during the night and early morning hours. We sail out on the Vista on the 11th of February and opted for an inside cabin this time because of these reasons, next time it may be the balcony.

We may not reach our end goal for a weight loss, but we can reach the goal we set before we cruise and tone up. Every pound we loss will help a our evening dresses fit and look nicer. The friend I'm cruising with is over weight and she wears bright colours and always looks very glam, where as I wear black and will not have my photo taken. But this time I brought a red evening dress and will have my photo taken.

 

All the best to everyone on our weight loss journey and we will all look better in our dresses by the time we cruise.

Love the positive attitude, it really does help move the weight loss along.

To answer your question hummingbird63, none of those are tenders and for those that are curious: Here is the link to Carnivals FAQ detailing the Tender Ports; https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2107/kw/tender%20ports/session/L3RpbWUvMTQ4Mzg0NTMzNS9zaWQvZlU4TUx5aGRXVmx2dG1qWmpkUUN1N19ha25JNzh0YldOeE41V3VZY2lVVW1STEpCcVFuYW0ySzQ0bE9ZNEE0ZnkycjJJWTZhOE1pR1pHX2lWN2NGVGhlTjFLVWlPUXFqUiU3RWc1VE1Fa0JfdHZPb080NTREZGtHdnclMjElMjE=

Thank you!

List the ports.

Grand Turks

La Romana

Bonaire

Aruba

Looking for information on whether any of the Southern Caribbean ports are tendered from the Vista, if so, which ones. Thank you

My husband and I cruise on February 11th and we've been hard at since early October....it's TOUGH staying on track through the holidays, but we've managed to get through it. I allowed myself to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinner and then got right back on it. As of today I'm 25lbs down and would like to lose another 13lbs before then (unrealistic goal), but I'll be happy even if its only 5 more. I'm looking forward to some chocolate melting cake! :eek:

Good luck ladies!

Thank you...it's an 8-day. I knew there were two and wanted to plan our specialty dinners accordingly.

Does anyone know when the formal nights are on the Vista?

How did you book the shuttle already? Was that an option on their website or did you call? Just curious because we reserved a room there with the Park N Cruise deal for July.

We called and spoke with Cristina.

Just booked hotel for an overnight before our cruise on the Liberty on November 28th and we booked our space on the shuttle, first group out! We read the hotel reviews on trip advisor and the reviews were all good, I hope we're not sorry!

The chocolate sampler....Mmmmmmmmmmm!:p
