This sounds great. We're staying in FLL and need to get to POM for our cruise.
Did you cold call or make a reservation?
Go to their web site to see the list of hotels by FLL that they pick up from, ridesas.

I was actually referring to the retired part. Hospitals, doctors and I really aren’t a good mix.
Retirement is great, the bad part is, your older.

I use SAS, it's $15.00 per person, look up ridesas. They will pick you up at the port & take you to FLL.

Not sure if this is a possibility for you, but, we're on the 8/28 and 9/3 cruises and so far Bonaire is still on the agenda.
After I booked my cruises I noticed that I had 2 medical appointments with the VA during that time so I rescheduled them. Plus with all of the other cancellations due to COVID, I just want to get back out to sea. Being retired, all days are pretty much free, thanks for the suggestion.

Not suite lounge happy hour
I read about this on another thread after I had posted.

Yup. The 4 drinks plus the happy hour are more than we needed. The "sale" for our upcoming Allure 6 night in May , same one we took in Februaury, is 12 dollars more per day than it was 2 months ago. Crazy.
I have read on other CC threads that those happy hour drinks now count against your 4 drinks.

I have been to all of the ports for the Aug. 6 cruise except for Curacoa, even with this change. If they change Curacoa it may be a deal breaker for me which will really mess me up because I am doing the next sailing Aug. 14 also.

Glad that you made it this far. Enjoy your cruise.

Pour some cold water on them.

This is the reason that I use a TA, I can't stand being left on hold for hours.

When you check in at the gate, let them know your issues if your not seated together. I did that once for my GF who doesn't like to fly, they gave us early boarding so we could sit next to each other.

We just got off the Scarlet Lady on Wednesday, and my wife and I loved it (both in our early to mid 40's, though).
The food was probably the best we've had on any cruise ship/line so far, and the fact all the restaurants are included is great. We found a lot of places to hang out and chill, having said that, this cruise for us was all about relaxing, eating and drinking.
We found most of the typical cruise areas to be small... the pool has already been described pretty much as a postage stamp, but also the thermal suite/spa area seemed cramped if more than 3 couples were in it... the casino was very small, though it was also pretty empty at current capacity.
Some of the shows were really impressive (Duel Reality, unnameddancepartything), others were not for us... though lately I even struggle with most other cruise shows that require me to sit for 60 minutes watching people dance on stage.
We found a lot of it refreshing, and are very likely to do it again... at the same time, my next 3 currently booked sailings are on RCL... part of it is because of home port convenience, but also because when we want to go with our kids, that's our preferred option and those ships have a LOT more stuff for us to do (Slides, surfy-thing, etc)...
Hope this helps, and if you have any specific questions feel free to ask.

My son and daughter-in-law just got off the same sailing that you were on, they had a good time & enjoyed the cruise.

If you have to wait outside, is there any place to sit and wait your turn? Standing for a long time isn't easy for me anymore.

Wait, What? Wait time between drinks? I have never heard of or experienced this. When our drinks are empty, they are right there filling them up....When does the wait time between drinks happen?
From the time that you ordered your last drink until you order your next one

Visit Philadelphia, or if driving through on I-95, look towards the Delaware as you cross the Schuylkill River.
See the ships
Is your child obsessed with ships? The Navy Yard is one of three Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facilities owned by the US Navy, where inactive ships are docked until further instruction. Walk along the side-walked perimeter of the Yard to discover multiple decommissioned ships, including aircraft carriers USS John F. Kennedy and USS Forrestal! Or, head straight to the Reserve Basin and make a game of counting the number of naval ships in the bay.
That must have been a few years ago, the Forrestal was towed to be scrapped in 2014, I served on her sister ship USS Saratoga. Both were scrapped in Brownsville, Tx. The JFK is also slated to be scrapped.

The Grandeur sails from Barbados. The cruise includes my favorite island St. Lucia and 5 more I have never been to., or heard of quite frankly other than Grenada and that was when the Brits were taking it back. Any opinions on whether they are worth stopping at ?
Trinidad
Tobago
Roseau, Dominica
St. Vincent
Grenada
Your ideas are appreciated.
Here is a map to help you.

I have done this before, got off a ship in PC got a rental and drove to Miami. It was a long drive but I made it with no problems. After doing it once, I doubt that I would do it again. Good luck OP in your endeavors.

Our next cruise is in October, that's soon enough for us.

Grandeur of the Seas, 11-30-19
Tampa port to Tampa airport
in Florida Departures
Posted
The last time that I sailed out of Tampa, all you had to do is look for people with signs to the airport, at the time it was $8.00 per person with no reservation.
