  1. When I saw the pix of the latest tiny ones, I thought "Yep, it's all fun and games until somebody's precious, darling, perfectly behaved kid finds one and chokes on it" . At which point the cruise line will get sued, and then they will be banned.
  2. Agree, on all counts. Additionally, I listened to the recent webinar, and don't recall any mention of this either.
  3. This happens frequently, and they make it as easy for you as they can. My recommendation it to go to 21 first and drop luggage, and passenger, if you like. Then drive to 2, and park there. There will be a shuttle to take you back to 21 to board the ship. It is not walkable. Upon return from the cruise, your car will be right there, and off you go. Those who park by 21 will need to shuttle back from 2, adding another step to the already chaotic arrival day. Its not the best situation, but it's manageable, and should be no cause for stress. Side note, make your life easier and pay for parking when you exit the elevators in the parking garage, before you go to your car. Much quicker that way.
  4. Maybe OP is offended because Pax is Latin for peace. If you spend any amount of time on Cruise Critic, it seems there is not a lot of peace aboard some ships and in some passenger's minds.
  5. Princess docks at Havensite, officially called WICO. .https://www.*****/cruise/ship-schedule/
  6. @blue_water has given you the best advice, just spend a little time reading. This is an often discussed topic. I will tell you this, regarding Celebrity. Recently I returned from there on a Celebrity cruise. I took a private charter to Jost, however, had also booked the ship sponsored tour to JVD as a back up. About 3 months prior to the cruise, Celebrity notified us that their tour to JVD was cancelled. No problem. Imagine my surprise when talking to a couple at Soggy to find that there were people from the ship who had come over on a ship sponsored tour. Evidently, the "operational reasons" that caused them to cancel originally, got worked out. I never checked tours on board, as I had no need, but I found it interesting.
  7. Very easy. Walk thru the shopping areas, just follow the signs to the taxi pickup. They will be lined up and waiting. They are primarily vans, and the dispatcher will direct you to one going that way. They will wait until they get a full load to proceed, but that's a popular destination, so it should not take long to fill the van.
  8. Are you asking how to use Uber? Download the app, enter your credit card info, tell then where you are, tell them where you want to go, tell them what type of vehicle you want. Wait for the driver. They should give you an approximate arrival time, car, and driver info. Are you asking if they will go all the way to Delray Beach? Yes. Are you asking will they have a large SUV available? Probably, but you may have a wait. Many, many cruisers use ride share at Port Everglades. A few weeks back I walked past the ride share waiting area, and it was packed. People were 3 - 4 deep watching for the incoming cars. Terminal 25, which is relatively new and has a well organized arrival and departure process for vehicles.
  9. She gives the day date, and port stop on the daily log. They are posted the next day.
  10. This. Celebrity cruisers (and I am one) just need to calm down. No need to spend a penny, and the island is beautifully developed. Equal to, and in some areas nicer, than HAL's Half Moon Cay and Princess Cay. Much better food options than the fly specked open air buffets offered elsewhere. @At Sea At Peace, if you really wanted to take the grands to a water park, wouldn't it be less hassle to just stay in Orlando for a few days? Cheaper, for certain. Celebrity will charge what they can get away with. But regarding the lower end sister ships, I have also read that the same excursions / experiences on Half Moon Cay cost less when visiting on a Carnival ship than when visiting on a Holland America ship. So there is precedence for X to charge more than RCCL.
  11. If you do a search for Brightline on this Florida board, there are quite a few threads on the subject - I would link, but there are too many. General consensus is that it is a positive experience, easy, safe, clean.
  12. No argument from me. My point was that I had never thought of revenue as it relates to real estate location on the ship. I guess that makes me not an MBA candidate. The newest Princess ships have the spa facilities on mid ship decks, so I guess they don't share the location / revenue strategy.
