Thanks. That doesn't seem to be a good solution though, maybe I am not understanding how that will help me make an emergency phone call. :confused:

I have an ATT iphone 4. Will that work in Italy?

I found the nightlife on this cruise to be poor. Not to say that the guests weren't trying to have fun. I had heard more than one person agree that it was very dead in the evenings. We were in a large group of 97 and most felt that way. The casino was empty, the disco - empty. There was a piano bar with a singer that wasn't very good. A country singer that was just ok. I did enjoy the shows. The comediene was very vulgar (in my opinion) I don't have a problem with cursing if it is called for. This was over the top. DSorry to be negative. But I did love the cruise.

They let you bring on 1 bottle of wine per person. They also tell you this can only be done in San Juan. I brought wine onboard in almost all the ports we visited. My bag went thru the scanner and no one said anything. I did not bring it to their attention either!

Make sure the resort's rooms have double beds. PL can't guarantee that but if you call the resort right away and request 2 double beds you should be ok. I've never had a problem.

You got a great deal. I paid 70. :( The hotel is nice. Good restaurant down the block. The cab ride didn't seem that long. I think we paid 25.00 for the five of us with five suitcases.

I got on the ship 12:30ish. Our hotel checkout was 12pm. I think they started letting people on a bit earlier than that. We were able to bring on 1 bottle of wine each. We did bring back 3 more later on in the evening. Also, we were able to bring more wine on in the other ports even though they tell you that you can't. They are more strict with hard liquor. I did bring on some of those little bottles without a problem.

I'm not 100% on this but I don't think they accept luggage until all the passengers are off the ship from the previous cruise. Usually by 11am.

I'd call to make sure. We had some issues on the cruise I just returned from. Some beds were cots, some were bunks, people weren't happy, etc. Its always good to know before you go!!!

I'm sure this was asked already but I couldn't find the answers quick enough. What is the earliest time for boarding. Is it 12:00 pm? The person who did the planning for our group cruise told everyone 2:30. Also, what exactly do I need to have with me to board the ship. Just the fun pass or the whole e-doc. I don't want to print out all this paper if I don't need it. Thanks.

I'm sailing 1/10 and have 2 questions.

1. Which airlines use luggage express?

2. Is there poker in the casino?

Thanks.

Try starting over and bidding 3* star lower. Marriott Miramar came in at 70.00 for me and my cousin got it for 50. Actually that is the only Marriott that has availablity for that date.

I have 3 certificates from the old Compass Reward Points. Its 100 points One Category Upgrade. I have 3 of them. Can I trade these in for onboard credit? What would 300 points get me? I have to book a cruise by 1/31/10 in order to use them but can cruise anytime until 1/31/2011.

The Marriott Courtyard is a 3* on Priceline, Sheraton is 3.5 *. Start the bidding @ $50.00 if you are doing the 3* for the Marriott. I forgot to change the bid and wound up paying 70.00 which was my limit when I was trying for the Sheraton. Don't get me wrong, I am happy because the Marriott's rate is much higher but my cousin bid after me and got the Marriott for $50.

My cousin just got the Marriott Miramar too!! She got her room for less than I paid!!! 50 for 1/9/10. We will be in the same hotel so that will be fun!

I got the Marriott Miramar for 70.00. Anyone ever stay here. It has good reviews although it isn't where I would have liked to be. I downgraded to a 3* because I wasn't getting anything for 3.5 at what I wanted to pay. I need 2 rooms.

I'll be on the Victory 1/10/10. I have a question regarding the size of the shower stall in the Balcony cabin. There is concern that it will be very tight for someone who is very large. Is there a place where I can find the dimensions. I might have to switch to a suite to get a tub. What do handicapped balcony rooms have for a shower? Thanks for any help.

Usually transfers are included with the cruise air but I would check with TA to be sure

We no longer use the cruise line transfers. We rent a limo each way. It is much cheaper and quicker. We are going to Seattle on July 15. We have a limo for $40.00 each way.

So, then you call ahead and they meet you at the airport after you get out of the airport? Do you use someone in particular? Thanks.

I sailed the Star out of SEA last year with parents aged 70+ (one has trouble walking) and they did fine. Flew into SEATAC the night before. It was a major pain to get a Taxi since you had to go up a level, cross to a garage then back down.

 

 

 

Is this after you retrieve your luggage? Is there an elevator or escator and clear signage to direct you to taxis? I was going to purchase transfers but its more expensive than a taxi and I would like to stop at a store first before going to the ship.
