  1. what's that going to cost you? I'm also considering an UberXL from MCO to Port Canaveral but it's coming up at $115-$149.

     

    I am going with GroundLink, and the cost from Oasis to MCO is $152.00. The benefits are that I can pick my departure time (with a 30 minute cushion if we are late getting off the ship), it will be a full size SUV (Suburban or Escalade), and it will be exclusive for the 4 of us. I like the fact that I can make advanced reservations (as opposed to Uber).

     

    If I can remember to do so, I will post a review after our journey.

  2. Thanks Thinfool.

    I am familiar with the Uber app, and know what Uber has to say about the journey, but was hoping to hear of personal experiences. We will be getting off the Oasis February 19 and concerned with that many passengers how difficult it will be to get and locate an Uber.

  3. Has anyone used Uber from Port Canaveral to Orlando Airport?

    There will be four of us (with luggage, of course)

     

    Questions:

    • Easy to acquire an XL (SUV)? Will that accommodate all four?

    • How long did you wait?

    • Where did you meet your Uber? Was it easy to identify your driver?

    • How long did it take you from debarkation to MCO?

    • What was your cost?

     

    Would appreciate you answers, and any helpful remarks.

  4. "Well Bobbye, we did it!"

     

    "Did what?"

     

    "We got over 100 Bon Voyages from Cruise Critic viewers!"

     

    "Did they send us any money?"

     

    "Well no."

     

    "Did they offer to help me pack?"

     

    "NO, but . . ."

     

    "Are they going to help with last minute shopping? With stopping our mail? With closing up the house? With . . . ."

     

    "Say Goodnight, Bobbye"

  5. My dear wife is not as appreciative as I.

     

    When I told her that 87 people have wished a Bon Voyage, she asked how many had viewed the thread.

     

    I told her 2,058.

     

    She said, "that means that 1,971 viewers do not want us to have a good cruise."

     

    I think she is wrong, but I didn't have a reply.

  6. I was telling my dear wife that I bet we would get a lot of Bon Voyage's from this board if the people knew we were flying this week to cruise the Allure, and that our four adult children are cruising with us.

     

    She said, “No way!”

     

    I told her that she just didn’t know how caring and helpful the CC people are -- how they love Royal Caribbean and felt kinship with anyone sailing a Royal ship.

     

    She said, “Are you kidding me?”

     

    I replied that I bet 50 people would respond with a Bon Voyage if I posted a thread.

     

    She said, “You are dreaming”.

     

    I countered by saying at least 25 dear people would respond.

     

    She said, “Is that your tongue I see bulging out your cheek?”

     

    I told her to wait and see.

     

    So now we are waiting to see.

     

    Bob & Bobbye

  7. Bobbye and I are both 85, and we used to sail only Holland America (see signature) because we enjoyed the smaller ships.

     

    But last year we sailed the Oasis and we loved it. We are completely hooked now and will be on the Allure next month!!

  8. I am really bummed! Just looking at the link here and it states that the new Suite benefits don't start until something like May 22. Our cruise starts May 1. I was wondering if that might happen to us. Very disappointing as we were looking forward to the free Voom!

     

    I just called RCI and was assured that the new Suite benefits begin on May 1 for the Allure. She said that each ship was different, but she did not give me the schedule for other ships.
