We took a taxi right from the port.  They will ask you where you want to go.  We said Atlantis and there were three others that wanted to go.  It was $5 each and someone had to pay the $2 bridge fee (just one $2).  She dropped us off at the bottom of the hill and we had to walk up to the entrance.  Going back she said we would have to walk down the hill (as the driver told us).  We did and the taxi driver that picked us up said we could have gotten  a taxi from the entrance to the Atlantis and saved us the walk down the hill.  The hill is not that bad.  Again, you may need more than 2 people for the $5.  

We also went to Baha Mar another time and took the jitney from town for $1.50 pp each way.  Jitney drops you off by the resort at the street but there is a long, up hill walk to the resort.  Baha Mar was really empty.  We prefer Atlantis for the casino.

There’s no consistency, you just have to keep checking.

 

Typical of Royal.  Thanks for the info.

Going on the Symphony OTS.  Do we have to make reservations for the shows?  If so, when are we able to make reservations.  On the Anthem in December it was not required. Earlier Anthem cruises we had to.  Thanks for any info.  Carol

I would like to know before I book either of these ships.

Anthem has the 270 and also We Will Rock You.  Have been on the Anthem 3 times and saw We Will Rock You then.

I would like to know before I book either of these ships.

Looking to go on the Liberty OTS, Symphony OTS, and Odyssey OTS.  Do you know what broadway shows will be on Oct. Nov. and Dec. of 2024.

See everyone on board tomorrow.  Safe travels.

Looking into doing the day pass for the British Colonial in Nassau.  Has anyone been there since it re-opened.  How was it?  How much was a day pass? Did you book directly with the hotel?  Any info would be appreciated.

Anything new on facebook about this cruise?  Would appreciate any info.  

See you then.  Hopefully others will be there too!

Since the sail date is kind of hectic, I proposed meeting at lunchtime (12:30) in the buffet area. I will have a Cruise Critic sign of some form or other to identify myself. Others are on board with this effort.   Thanks for asking.

What day is this exactly for the meeting?

As I don't do facebook, it there anything on facebook that would be relevant on CC that I should know about.  Like a meet and greet. Thanks

340lwpD688:  Sounds great for a M&G.  Second day during lunch or any other time or  meeting place would be OK.  You can put me on the list - Carol/Roy ... Flemington, NJ ... Carol & Roy

Did anyone set up a meet & greet.  I don't do facebook.  So if it is on facebook, I would appreciate seeing it here on CC.  Thanks

Yes.  We brought empty water bottles we got on a plane that were much sturdier than the supermarket ones.

We also have bottles from a plane.  They are ideal and glad that there would be no problem bringing empty ones when we board.  Thanks

They don't care what empty containers you bring on board, they just don't want you to smuggle on vodka 😆.  Bring on whatever empty container you want!

Thanks for your reply.  We will bring small bottles and fill them in the cabin.  We like to have some water next to the bed side.

I know that you can bring on water bottles like a thermos bottle.  I am asking about an empty water bottles that you would purchase in a convenience store. 

I know you cannot bring water bottles (like Poland Springs, etc) on the ship.  But could you bring empty bottles of Poland Springs, etc. when you embark.  

Thanks for the info.  We have been to Baha Mar casino when we were on the last cruise.  I didn't think they had resort passes for the beach or pool.

; Baha Mar will have more to do if that matters to your family. We arrived at 10 and all the prime loungers were taken, so I would suggest getting there earlier; I think they open at 8 AM. 

What was the cost for the resort pass at Baha Mar?  Only been to the casino there via jitney last year.

Going on the Venezia in April.  We have Your Time Dining.  How would I reserve a time, etc.

April 5 sailing?  We are on that one.

 

I think we will be renting a golf cart.

Yes.  See you on Carnival Venezia out of NYC April 5.  

We will be taking TransBridge bus out of Allentown/Clinton, NJ to the port.  

See you on board.

As far as I've seen there are no changes in what's available at Governors Beach. If you want food and drink you have to bring it with you.  If only going to GB, golf cart is a waste of $.  You're 3/4 the way there by the time you get outside the port to the rental sites. Taxi rates are $4 per person.  But not sure about catching a taxi back to the cruise center.

Still no chair rentals?  Are there still picnic tables?

Been to Governor's Beach a few times some years ago.  It was very secluded.  There were clean rest rooms and foot showers.  There were no chair rentals.  But need chairs now.  I think there were colorful picnic tables then.  We walked there from the beach and onto the road by Jack's Shack then onto Governor's Beach.  This time we would like to taxi there.  Should we look into a golf cart rental?  Any info would be most appreciated.

Will be going to GT this April.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is typically in the Fall. Most recently, it has been towards the end of September.

Thanks for the info.  I thought it was in February.  Maybe that's why I couldn't find it for February,.
