Now that the seaside is in port canaveral, I was hoping someone would have some answers to my post. Thanks!

I’m on the seaside in July in yacht club, thank you so much for the dailies and all the great information!!

We did the Kennedy space center excursion, but it was on NCL, also didn’t get there until 1, I reasoned it as something we haven’t done yet and when would we go back to do it? It is an amazing experience to see some of these exhibits, but not enough time to see it all. In all the times we’ve gone to Florida, and I’ve been many times but most were to Disney, we never made it over to the space center. So for us we bit the bullet and overpaid to do the excursion. In the end we had fun and saw something new, and it was a drizzly day so not much of a sit by the pool day. As far as Nassau goes, I am disillusioned as well. My next cruise only stops at Ocean Cay so if in the future we have a stop in Nassau I will be doing some research into private excursions there, maybe parasailing? Jet skis? Again, something different that we haven’t done before. Good luck with your planning, and since you are a first time cruiser use the time to enjoy the ship, you will find that staying behind while the bulk of the people get off you will have your pick of seats!

As far as Frontier, we have flown a few times from Providence, which is probably similar to Rochester as it’s a regional airport that’s close to us and has reasonable flights. But like you, frontier is leaving in April!! I bought the discount den which saved us a lot of money but our cruise is in July, so we have to go out of Boston, no big deal but it was only $168 pp round trip compared to $300 from any airline out of PVD. This will probably be our last time on frontier as well. I can warn you that it is no frills, you barely get a tray table!! The first time we flew I got on and was like, where’s the rest of the seat?! I compare them to folding chairs! One trick I have been lucky with in the past is not paying for seating assignments. If I did buy seats this time it would have been another $60 pp round trip. I find that if I check in as soon as I can, like 24 hours immediately, I get 4 seats together. The last flights we did in August we had the middle and aisle seats going across a row, so no window seats. So hopefully it will work again for us this July. Looking forward to hearing all about your journey and especially Ocean Cay Marine Reserve!!!

I have a July sailing on seaside and there is no option for scuba, I posted a question about some of the different options that showed up for my sailing but I have not seen any reviews of people that have done it, and no one has responded yet. I guess I will wait until the seaside starts sailing from Port Canaveral and circle back🤪

I have a cruise booked for July on the seaside, it has an overnight on ocean cay and I’ve been looking at my cruise planner app and very little has been available for advanced booking but today I saw more options and was wondering if anyone has done the ceclo electric pedals? I’ve taken a screenshot from the excursion booking below, there is also family rafts available as well as family kayaks. Has anyone rented these and have any insight on them? I’ve looked on YouTube and I haven’t seen these mentioned anywhere. One thing I did see on a YouTube video was a map of ocean cay and it showed in purple the different food options and one says Boho house. Any insight as to what this is? No one has mentioned this and I’m curious as to what it is? We will be in the yacht club and intend on using ocean house for lunch, but if anyone knows what the boho house is I’d be interested in your input!! Also yacht club related, I’ve seen that umbrellas are included in the yacht club beach area, what about the floating mats? I’ve rented them before on NCLs private island and enjoyed them a lot, if included it would be great, but if it’s cheaper to add before cruise I will, but if included I would use the money elsewhere! thanks!!!

Thank you!! Exactly what I was looking for! This is why I love cruise critic!!!

Hi! I haven’t booked yet but looking into a Seaside cruise that has an overnight on Ocean Cay. Does anyone have a full breakdown of excursions offered with pricing? I know sometimes it’s varied depending on the dates but I would love to see what’s out there as far as variety and pricing.
