Hi All,

 

I am going on the Oasis of the Seas in August.... Cannot Wait!!

After my cruise i am heading to Orlando (I-Drive), Can you advise the best method of transportation (budget friendly) to get to Orlando from Port Everglades?

 

Two adults travelling..........

 

Thanks in advance

Try this link for the magic card discounts on Dollar and Thrifty rental cars. I found a very good rate for our one way rental post cruise from Port Everglades Ft. Lauderdale to returning at MCO Orlando airport. They even have complimentary shuttle buses to take you from the port to the rental agencies.

When the wife and I were on our 1st cruise last month, we found that generally, most passengers were very friendly toward us, but, there were a few occassions when we were felt to feel 'lower class', for example, eating in the windjammer on Indy one night, we both decided to have something a burger.

 

On a table nearby, there were a group of people, tutting, and muttering under their breath about "these young people always eating junk food!" (we're both in our 30's, and this was the only time, apart from JR's we ate burgers!)

 

Another time, my wife was told to "Shut up, girl!" by a woman reading, when she was talking to someone else by the pool. Others were complaining about the amount of 'young people and families'. It seemed to me that some of these people felt that cruising was the reserve of the upper classes, and the more 'senior' folk. I even said to one that if they felt that way, don't book a cruise on a ship like Indy, which is a family-ship.

 

do others experience this? Or is it a rare thing?

Just be thankful it was from a stranger (not to be seen again). During a phone conversation, the future mother-in-law of my daughter told me to "shut your mouth" 3 times. I told her no joint rehersal dinner (for obvious reasons). She said that she could be civil in the same room...I told her she couldn't even be civil over the phone! Needless to say this rude, controlling woman didn't even show up for the wedding. Thank goodness.

The book costs about 13 bucks and can be purchased on board at the On Air club on the Promenade at various times during the week. We purchased ours on day 2 at about 11am. The times are stated in the daily Compass.

 

The scavenger hunt takes you all through the ship. It makes you look in several nooks and crannies for the answers.

Thanks Harvey. I'm putting this on my to do list.
