sailing sue

I will be flying  to Orlando on Friday May 17  and sailing on Saturday May 18th. I have not received my luggage tags yet. I have paid for ground transportation from the Hyatt at the airport to the pier. I called Disney and was told that my tags have not been mailed yet. I am an international traveller.  If I don't receive the tags before I leave home, will the hotel provide me with the luggage tags at check in? I understand that the hotel picks up your tagged bags on the day of sailing from your room beginning at 8 am. What happens if I don't have the tags? I am confused! 

If I find another flight that is not offered by A2S, but shows on Expedia, can I request that flight instead? Royal is showing flights that come in1 day ahead of sailing, and I do not want to stay in a hotel the night prior, but just want to fly in, and board the same day.

Your information is terrific! Thanks everyone. When I land and I am at the destination airport, will a Royal representative meet me somewhere and escort me to a bus that goes  to the pier? I would have purchased ground transfers . I will be flying in same day if I purchase A2S.

Firt time going to the Med and I am condidering using the Air to Sea Program. I would love to hear about your experiences good and bad with this service. Thank you 

I know the Fort Lauderdale Hotels have been discussed, however, I still would like to have your expert opinions. I will be staying 1 night post cruise. I have narrowed down my search to the Hyatt Place Cruise Port and Convention Center on SE 10th Street and the Holiday Inn Express on 17th Street. I would like to know if there are any walkable stores close to either one, like a Publix or Walgreens.  I am not interested in nearby restaurants. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has stayed at either recently and can comment on how you enjoyed or didnt enjoy your stay. The reviews of mostly all of   the Ft Lauderdale hotels are not good. Thank you

I am thinking about booking a 12:00 pm flight from MCO , international flight,  after my Disney Cruise. Interested to hear from everyone if they have successfully and not successfully done this. I have the DCL bus transfer from the pier to the airport. 

We are sailing on the 4 night Allure in early Feb. 2024. Just wondering if anyone can tell me when  we can reserve Mama Mia, the ice skating show and the water show. Thanks.

I am cruising from Ft. Lauderdale in Feb 2024 and was interested in booking the Riverside Hotel. Do I have to pay the full cost of one overnight stay upfront, or do I pay the invoice when I check out? Thanks

I also read the reviews about the Hampton Plantation, and they were terrible. After a lot of research, I as well booked the Riverside! The area looks amazing and the reviews of the hotel were really good.

Has anyone stayed at the Hampton Inn Plantation recently? I stayed there 10 years ago and was thinking of revisiting this hotel for my upcoming cruise. I enjoyed the facility back then and was wonering if it is still a nice precruise hotel.

I would appreciate some feedback from anyone who has stayed at this hotel prior to their cruise.  I am seriously thinking about booking, but would love to hear from you especially if you feel the hotel is worth the big price tag . Thank you

I have always stayed  in downtown   Vancouver one night prior to my cruises from Canada Place. The hotels are really expensive there now. I am looking at the airport hotels to stay overnight. Could you please tell me which hotel at or near the airport you have used and liked. I would need to get a taxi from the airport/hotel to the pier. How easy is that to do?

They come in the mail. You can't print them like the RCI luggage tags.

Cruising soon on the Fantasy. I have not received my luggage tags as yet. Staying at the Hyatt Orlando Airport prior to the cruise. I also have Disney Bus Transfers. Lets say that I do not receive my tags prior to flying to Orlando, where will I be able to get the tags? Will the Hyatt have them for me or will the Disney bus have them when I check in? First time Disney cruiser. Thank you

Ok. Thank you!!

First timer going on the Fantasy. I was wondering if there are trays available at Cabanas? Being a long time RCI sailor, I know they stopped using trays a long time ago.

Just wondering if there is a store at the Tortola cruise port where I can purchase beer and wine to take onboard. Thank you

Is there a store at the pier in Tortola that sells wine and beer?

Is it cheaper to purchase the water package and the beer package while on board or pre boarding in the gift selection on line?

I spoke with the airline and told them the flight will not work. I booked a room at the Hyatt at the airport for the night and will fly home next day early.

Yes, I will be at Port Canaveral and flying from MCO

First timer on a Disney Cruise. I am sailing on the Fantasy. I have reserved Disney Cruise Line transportation to the airport.  My airline changed my return flight time home to 11:00 am. I would like to ask you guys if this is do able. I will have an International Flight. Thanks. 

After a long back and forth, I have a resolution. I will accept a FCC of $105.00 instead of the refund. I will be cruising again and will be able to use the credit towards my new cruise.

I was told by RCI that I would received a full refund for my January cruise, which I cancelled due to the mask issue. Royal told me I would received back my money for my cruise,   FCC and my NRD. That was 90 days ago. Royal has informed me that they sent checks to my travel agency and the agency was to forward my refund on to me via credits to my visa. I received a visa refund for the cruise and the FCC. The agency is holding back my NRD of $105.00. I have emailed them and not received any response.

I remember this topic has been discussed on this board  before, but I can't remember the details. Could anyone kindly inform me as to why they are not giving me back my NRD when Royal has told me that it will be refunded?

Great news! Thank you !
