  1. If you are sailing and returning to the US and not going to Bermuda or Canada……and you are vaccinated…..why are you testing??
  2. Are you Diamond or above? If so the Diamond Lounge concierge can do it for you…
  3. Some of the most popular shuttles are……. *Cortrans Shuttle *Cocoa Beach Shuttle *Cruise Control Transportation *GoPort (they can arrange all your transportation for you in one pkg)
  4. We took our granddaughters on four cruises…….on 3 out of the 4 cruises we were asked to produce the letter from their parents giving us permission to take them on the cruise. It happened twice on Royal and once on Disney…..
  5. On one cruise we were doing self assist so we were downstairs and in line very early. There was maybe 50 people in front of us and after a very short time hundreds now in line behind us. We were standing their patiently waiting when a couple gets off the elevator and joins another couple in front of us. So we think okay maybe they’re flying together and we didn’t think anything of it. About 10 mins later at least 25 more people got off the elevator and tried to join these same two couples at the front of the line!!! At this point several people near us went ballistic and told them that wasn’t happening and they could just take themselves to the end of a very long line!! They pretended at first they didn’t understand what people were saying (they were Japanese) but once people got so mad they all went (except for the original two couples) and took themselves to the back of the line!!
  6. you can use some of your daily 5 drink vouchers for bottled water….
  7. Going to the Eastern side is safe and the prudent thing to do. They will have an awesome cruise!!
  8. I usually do it online on my IPad. Just seems to work easier for me…
  9. Not all crew members are happy to give up their masks! We had a great bartender on the Harmony who told us he hopes they let masks be optional for them because they are exposed to so many people each week so he was more comfortable wearing his for awhile.
  10. we just got off the Harmony and had no problems getting any of this…
  11. We just got off the Harmony last week, at near capacity, and you still have to wait until you are onboard to book shows….
  12. On Royal it is no more than 12 bottle that must be 17oz or less. These must be in your carry on only, so you will be dragging them around with you until the rooms are ready around 1:30pm or so….
  13. Unvaxxed is still supposed to test and just show a picture of their negative result… Very lax protocols now….
  14. CVSin our area is still offering testing but not sure about a fee. When we did testing we ordered the kits from Emed and did them online at the hotel. Or if you have any of freebie government kits you can use an online company, pay a small fee and they will proctor your tests and send you the results…..
  15. I was also going to add the Racetrac a block away is a good place for snacks, wine, etc.
  16. Sure can….we just did this on the Harmony last week….it was easy to do!!! And I had some refundable AND non refundable money and I got it all back… someone shared this with me and it worked perfectly
  17. Just got off the Harmony on Sunday and it was reported on our FB board that 28 people who were in quarantine were taken off the ship together and sent to a hotel until they could fly home on Thursday. Royal is supposed to reimburse them $100 per person per day for food and $250 per night for hotel. But I think most people are not going to medical or reporting they are ill. At least 20+ people on our board have already posted positive tests results in the last couple of days…. So yes…..they do still quarantine they just keep it very quiet!!
  18. Mardi Gras I believe is terminal 3……they don’t have the problems Royal does at Terminal 1 so you should be fine…
  19. We sail for the ships and in fact sometimes never get off in ports at all as we have been so many times. We don’t have to have the newest ships, but we prefer to sail on those big enough to at least have a promenade…..
  20. I only use our credit card…… Also if you are cruising out of Terminal 1 I highly recommend you get the to port very early to grab one of the few spaces in the parking deck. Currently there are at least two ships going out of there and parking spaces have become a premium. Otherwise you can except to have to park, in the overflow outside, across the street in a gravel lot or on the other side of the terminal next to a warehouse with a long walk to the terminal!! Since that makes us very early for our check in time we either sit in the car for awhile or walk over to Grills and have a drink and a bite to eat…
  21. Why not rent a car from MCO to your hotel so you will have it in the evening for dinner etc. Then when you get off the ship hop on a pre-booked shuttle and ride back to the airport rather than dealing with going to the car rental agency, picking up the car and then returning the car at the airport. They would be waiting for you as you stepped off the ship and it would save you some time for sure!! Some of the popular shuttles are….. *Cortrans Shuttle *Cruise Control Transportation *Cocoa Beach Shuttle *GoPort
  22. There is a desk where they will get one for you however it is a 45-60min drive to Orlando so a taxi will be expensive. You may want to also price Uber but I am sure surge pricing will be in effect. Some reliable airport shuttles you may want to price: *Cortans Shuttle *Cruise Control Transportation *Cocoa Beach Shuttle *GoPort
