  1. What you may call a bus load is actually about 20 people or less. The shuttles are not large busses but more like a hotel shuttle that you would use from the airport to your hotel. No daisy chain delivery....once you get on a shuttle it is dedicated to taking you directly to your ship. Arriving at your ship where you wait in line to be checked in will take longer than the ride from the parking lot to the checkin site. Note" there are some wild but domesticated monkeys that live in the trees next to the parking lot. Signs that tell you to Don't Feed the Monkees are everywhere. (Florida Wildlife) For us, as we exit the facility, we have received a nice, cold bottle of water. Nice touch.
  2. We did all of that in 2004 on a final sailing out of Dover on the HAL Noordam...it was great....however, anyone planning on the rail trip from Flam should know that bookings fill outrageously fast....make them early, like a year out, maybe more.
  3. We used uber in Brooklyn a few years back....worked well, no hassles. I never keep track of fares, my phone pays the bills....LOL
  4. Ahem...we may have been on that cruise (Nov. 2012) and saw those folks. Mostly they were ignored and the wife was rather miffed! Not to be snarky, but booking a HAL cruise most anywhere....we did South America in 2016, would mean that you could use the bow of the ship...lean over, take photos, take turns with others, Tis windy, but so is the upper viewing areas, as you found out.
  5. Third or fourth for Park n Go...and to add that you have no need to know which Terminal your ship sails from. Their shuttle driver will ask which ship, and then take you directly to it. And they will be there to pick you up when you return.
  6. If one or both couples have a reservation time that is the same, you can enter the Grill at the same time and be seated together.
  7. Book a hotel with an airport shuttle.
  8. I learned over the last 20 years that a passport is a very expensive investment. This because it opens the whole world to exploration by any citizen with the time and/or money. No other form of identification is required unless it would be a Visa to visit the destination. Anymore, when I bring up a destination I get a question from the chief domestic with whom I live. What Question? Does this trip include a rudder? Oh, and the answer best be 'Yes' if I want to succeed.
  9. You can also take the TriRail train It actually has a stop that is much closer to the Airport than Brightline.
  10. The TriRail is good. And there is a free shuttle from the train station to the Airport where you could get a hotel shuttle if yours offers it.
  11. Shipping to your home is still available...IF you opt for the Plus or Premier package. You could also ask your TA or whomever is handling your booking about it. Otherwise, picking your medallion up when you are checking in at the pier is now the standard.
  12. The taxi marshalling location is completely outside of the terminals. We used a taxi back in Dec 23. As I remember,it is located on the Northeast side of the terminal area. Signs are there tho it may take some effort to find and understand them.
  13. Please stop breaking things that are not broken.
  14. Pre covid we sailed on the Royal from Quebec City to Ft Lauderdale, the dining room fare was so bad that we opted to eat in the Lido for several nights. Same old adage, you get what you pay for....and the food ain't it. Service otherwise was great!
  15. Except for England which is not a Schengen country anymore. Brexit took care of that.
