Hi Sis, we stayed at the one downtown near convention center. Here is their website link https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/tpaeses-embassy-suites-tampa-downtown-convention-center/ Good location. About 10 min drive to cruise terminal. We had waterfront view. Waterfront is nice area to walk around and grab food and drink. Decent little bar/restaurant in the hotel too. Also the trolley stop out front of hotel was nice to tour the area and head to Ybor to wander around and/or eat and drink. Overall rating 😊 I would stay here again.

Cartagena and Panama are always hot and soo humid. Not somewhere I would want to live.

Expecting a sunny day in the low 50's here in PA. Have a Great Day😊

With all the kitty pictures. I thought I would share. This is our sweet little Eva. All snuggled up in her favorite blankey.

We did! Thank you. I hope you and Jim did too. Welcome back😊

Most people say it's only worth it if price is is similar to daily internet price. And nice lunch on boarding day. Keep in mind that every person in the cabin must buy it. When comparing, Would you buy internet access for your children? Embarking without it is pretty easy. Usually onboard in about 15 minutes. Disembarkment can be a bit hectic so having the Key may help.

Lovely😊

@lenquixote66. So very sorry to hear about your Godfaughter's loss. May her Mother RIP 🙏

+1 John @Ozark_Kid I hope you had a wonderful day. Happy Birthday💖

Shame that you had to experience this as cape liberty is usually pretty easy access. I guess they should have told those embarking to arrive at least 1 hr late and that would have helped with the craziness. Bon Voyage😊

WooHoo! Safe travels and if you able to post photos during your trip that would be wonderful!

Happy Birthday to sweet Annabel😻 Please give her a rub from me (and a treat)!

Good Morning Everyone, I had an extremely busy work week. We hired 3 new employees and was busy with their initial training. One girl that was interviewed while I was on my cruise has some issues and most likely will not work out. Then I had a dinner meeting with a previous employee who wanted to discuss some events / concerns about why she resigned. Shame she didn't bring these to my attention while still working there but good to know now to prevent those issues from happening again. We had quite chilly weather this past week (nothing like the teaser weather the week before). Yesterday was just plain ugly with chilly downpours from about 4 am to 3 or 4 pm. Today is sunny and temps should be in the 50's this week. @BonTexasNY Happy to hear your hernia surgery went well and hopefully your recovery is going well too! 💐 @firefly333 I hope your recovery from catarect surgery is going well. You are probably getting tired of those eye drops. Eric seem to have a lot of the drops run down his face instead of in the eye. Sad to hear about Princess Kate and King Charles both having to deal with cancer issues, I am sure they have the best possible care to achieve favorable results. 🙏 @Husky1987 Haven't seen any recent posts. I hope everyone is doing good and everything is progressing nicely with your home renovations from the fire. @h20skibum Your Granddaughter is definitely is a very talented. Beautiful drawing. @George C Your music cruise sounded amazing. Enjoyed your photos especially the design your room steward created on your last night - beautiful display. @TravelGirlinDallas Loved your photos of DC. Glad to see your posts and that you had a nice trip with decent weather. Andrew is quite the handsome young man. DC is such a beautiful city, especially in the spring with the cherry blossoms blooming. Happy Days to All!

Yes, there is a very small narrow hallway to both doors for the JS and interior solo cabin.

Some of the workers in the shopping area live on Berry Island and take the ferry. I know the girls that do braiding do this everyday. And they told me Royal took good care of them during covid shutdowns.

Just make sure you redeem asap if using for your sailing in 2 weeks. They are strict about the timeline to process. I received one for Christmas and forgot about it. Then I tried to redeem a week or so before my cruise and was told unable to process that quick.

I did not see any onboard dining specials on my cruise 2 weeks ago. Offers will definitely vary per ship and the restaurants bookings. Maybe book one or two lunches with the cruise planner sales. Lunch menus are very similar to dinner menus but usually half the price.

True, with everyone leaving at the same time there can be a wait for wheelchair assistance to disembark. I think we reserved 830 and were off before 9 am

When my DH needed a scooter he was told he could ride it down to the waiting area for wheelchair assistance and leave the scooter there instead of the cabin. Many others did this too

That's Great News😊 congratulations on a successful surgery🌷

We use WhatsApp...works great!

April @akcruz. So sorry for your family's sudden loss. May she RIP. 🙏 Beautiful Bride and Groom. Weather was very nice on Saturday.

https://www.specialneedsatsea.com/ this is who we used for a sailing out of Cape Liberty Their pricing was better than some of the others but never hurts to shop around. Clouds of Goods is another I see a lot of passengers use. Easy to check out prices online.

I personally have not used but had friends that did arrange with guest services onboard Anthem. The cost to Newark airport (EWR) was either $28 or $30 / per person and shuttle left port somewhere between 8:30 to 9:00 am

They do offer a shuttle bus to EWR, not sure about other airports. They only offer the shuttle if your flight is after 12 pm
