Thank you all so much! :)

Thank you all for your reply's. They defiantly have limitations with walking long distances, so I do need to take that into consideration? Any recommendations of which ship you think would fit the bill and do the ports they would like to visit? Thanks for the tip on AMAwaterways, does anyone else have any input on this?

Hi!! Can you recommend what ships/time of year would be the best for the ports I have listed? I have done some research, but it is a bit overwhelming. We are sending our parents (80's) and would like to do a nice ship!! Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! :)

You are right, but you do have a very good chance of being upgraded to the next category. Thoughts??

Thank you all for your responses!!!

We are going on a 3 day cruise on the Regal in April, is it worth it to book a guarantee category S4?? S5 is booked, but there are S2 available? I have never booked a guarantee before. Thank you!

Thanks I will ck out that street, I would rather not have to rent a car.

We are taking our first trip without the kids! Spending a few days in Fort Lauderdale and then we are doing a three cruise on the Regal!! We are doing it up and I want to make the right choice. Should I book a guarantee S4, the S5s are booked. S2 and the S4 have about 9 cabins each or so? The cruise is this April? I have never booked a guarantee because we always had the kids and needed to be close!! Any recommendations on hotels in Fort Lauderdale, should we rent a car? Thank you all so much!:D

That does look like fun, I just checked out there website. It states its about a twenty minute ride! Does anyone know how much a cab would cost us? We are three people?

We have a return flight at 7PM Sunday evening! We will be getting off the ship early in Fort Lauderdale, can anyone recommend something to do close by? Are the malls worth it? Thanks so much!

This may have already been asked, but I couldn't find it. Does everyone in the same cabin have to purchase the package? Thanks so much!:):)

Thanks MS411, that is not far at all to walk. Some of us can stay with our stuff and the rest of us can go and jetski, para-sail etc.

It is my understanding that the watersports are where they marina is located? If so, was it an easy walk from where you took the picture? Thanks!

I am going to use Quality Limo, quick response to my emails and they have

vans for 10 people! $8.00 per person each way!

It is Port Everglades, sorry for any confusing. Thanks for all your tips.

I did hear back from South Florida Transportation, to much $$ for such a short ride for us. I will most likely use Go Shuttle (it was $90.00) one way last year if memory serves me right. Or some people just let the people at the terminal get them a taxi/van, has anyone done that? If we weren't so many people (10) I would do that??

LOL...I am not having much luck eithier

I just did the same with Millenium and got a quick response...to much $$

It was worth a shot...

"We only have 1 type of limo that will hold 10 plus luggage, a 20 passenger Escalade stretch. It rents for 210.00 total each way from Ft Lauderdale airport to the seaport. This is the total each time paid to the driver on the spot cash or credit is fine."

I emailed South Florida Transportation yesterday and I haven't heard back from them? I just emailed Holland for a price? We are a group of ten, its a short ride for us....FLL airport to the cruise port? Any other suggestions for a limo company?

Great info! VI Watersports does the para sailing right from Sapphire Beach.

He also told me that there is a second company that runs the jet-skis. Contact him a week before you go!! He was quick to email back and very helpful!!

Thanks everyone, I just wanted to be sure that all the activities are in walking distance from the beach, it doesn't have to be the same company.

I will goggle the info you suggested, thanks for all your tips!

Thanks is that the same company that runs the para sailing and snorkeling at Sapphire?

Can we walk to the marina from the beach and do you think I should

pre-book??? The cruise lines excursion to Sapphire doesn't give you much time to spend there? I am also wondering if the para-sail excursion is the same one that I would book via RCCL? We would rather not do that, this way we can spend as much time as we want! Thanks MS411

We are a group of ten and some want to para-sail and jet ski? Can we do that right from the beach?

What can we expect for temps in early November? Thanks!

When you have teens they want "fun" things to do and this is it! Some of the reviews I have read state that there is more climbing, than ziplining? Am I correct in saying that there is still no zip line in St. Thomas?? We did the one in Alaska and we all enjoyed it, we did climb but 90% of the excursion we ziped? Will we be disapointed? Thanks!
