Don’t worry Bob, it’s not a sausage pizza.

 

Yep, that’s the pizza I grew up on!

Rick, a million thanks for taking us along on your excellent adventure.

I echo Host Clarea about Capri. ...and the Grotto and diffenately the Blue Lagoon are a must.

Thanks...you’ve helped me make my decision!

ROME IN LIMO! In one day, you will visit many more sites than with any ship excursion. Class “A”company. If you care to search, there are many positive posts about it.

I am so loving these posts! Can’t wait for the LIVE action, I mean besides the already live action.

She said we had to do it onboard,along with a lot of other things like set our MTD times for dinner. She wouldn't do those before hand either. Guess we will be standing in the line at the cruise desk or whatever its called. This is our first cruise. Wish it was starting off on a better note!

Hi Cruisekitty! Welcome to the world of cruising ! You will love it! As far as having to go to Guest Services to handle the Gratuities (I know it’s an inconvenience) please don’t allow this to spoil your pre-cruise excitement. And true to what CC Shellygal has posted: you have us to help you along the way. You will find a plethora of knowledge! When I first started cruising (20+ years ago) I used a TA but now find the preplanning as part of the fun in the anticipation of the cruise. Even without going through a TA there are things that cannot be booked on line and have to be handled when embarking. Different cruise lines have different policies. Little glitches had me at Guest Services (not complaining) this past cruise almost every day. These things always work out. As I recall reading you leave in a couple of weeks. ENJOY YOUR CRUISE!

Many years cruising..but many years since I’ve sailed RCCL and have booked the SyOS. I’ve received some wonderful advice from CC but the Specialty dining package booking does not seem to be very Cruiser Friendly. However I’m thrilled to be experiencing the newest ship!

Used Lyft from FLL to Miami (SoBe) 3 week’s ago. Had the Premium 4 passengers 7 bags. Driver informed us that because of road construction he’d have to take a different route. $145 and almost 90 minutes.

WONDERFUL ADVISE! Thank you ALL SO VERY MUCH!!

I GET IT!

Thanks to ALL!!

Pre booking the Speciaty Dining package (4) for RC is so different than NCL. Please correct me if I am mistaken...I select a time. Once onboard and in my stateroom, I will be informed which dining venue for the first day or possibly the second day. I have to go to a specialty restaurant to reserve the next three (day and and at the same time) to change the date and restaurant if it is not what I’d like. I really do not like to eat at a specialty restaurant on the first night as I may not have the proper clothes to wear. On a previous cruise my luggage was not found until 10 pm. Are the restaurants randomly chosen? This has got to be pretty crazy on embarkation. Any advise will help.

DISEMBARK at 6 am POM. Will a 12 noon flight at MIA be a rush if I am not carrying off lugggage, will go through customs and taking the shuttle to the airport?

Thank you.

Devotee of the Hampton Brickell. Shuttle to port is $8.00. Just sign up at the downstairs concierge desk after you check in. Easy walking distance to all sorts of nice restaurants. Short walk to the People Mover to journey to Bayside Market. Also, a nice shopping area past Mary Brickell Village that's an easy walk from the hotel. Publix market about 3 blocks away. Nice breakfast and there were free cocktails offered at my visit before the last one. (Alcohol doesn't like me so I didn't inquire this time since I was traveling solo. I gave my coupons to my friend previously.)

THANK YOU! This info was very helpful for me! I’m looking to book the Hampton (Brickell) for a one night stay pre-cruise.

My iPad has gone bonkers and posted my thread before I could submit it. Sorry CCs. I’d like to know what and when I can make reservations for specialty dinning and entertainment prior to sailing.

Thanks

20+ years of cruising but I’ve not sailed RCCL since the onstart of the Oasis Class. I’m booked on the Symphony of the Seas. So much has changed with pre-booking reservations.

Not a fan of “Hairspray”. Although I am a Hairstylist and former salon and spa owner for many years (retired and miss it everyday), I was disappointed to read that this production was showing on the SyOS. Sooo would have preferred “Jersey Boys”. Bummer!

All I eat these days are salads.......but I won’t on my next cruise. Had I seen this bug in my food, I’d have a difficult time eating after that. Hopefully NCL has been alerted to this post and will be diligent with food inspection.

Hi Mark...if you’re still on CC since you returned from your cruise....THANK YOU for your review. I loved the Escape but am going on the Getaway soon. I do not know how well attended it is, but because of your review, I will be attending the 80s party. (I wasn’t sure about packing the extra clothing with the weight restriction for air travel.) again, thanks!

Just printed the best 6 pages of reading material evvverr!

I’ve been cruising for over 20 years. Many years back before I became a NCL Groupie, I once used a TA. Because of booking through a TA (3rd party) I found it a bit tricky to solve an on board issue. I only, and will only now book with a PCC. He is so knowledgeable, professional and helpful. Just this week he immediately helped out with a reservation glitch (no fault of NCL) on an upcoming cruise.

Thinking of using Uber or Lyft from FLL on a Saturday (arrival 1p.m.) to South Beach. Will there be difficulties in getting a driver and will there be a long wait?

Does this new directive include non surge protection extension cords?

Anyone else hear crickets?

Why the sarcasm?

:DA”MILLION” THANKS YOU TO BIG AL AND MARAZAD16!! This most certainly helps!! :D

Thanks Big Al for the review. What nights is Million Dollar Quartet showing? I can see by posted dailies that the first night is day 5. I’m suprised that it is not playing sooner in the week. Surely it’s showing more than one night:o
