I have never had a problem getting a space, but I do understand that it could happen.

OP says they are from the u.k. At least that’s the way I read it

What does Orlando have to do with this plan, I don’t understand? If you are leaving from Miami, why not fly into Miami?

It’s possible, if everything goes along perfectly. But I wouldn’t chance it if it were me. If they miss their flight, it may be difficult to get on a later one as those flights after a cruise are usually booked up.

Thank you

Thanks for your info. I will probably cross it off my list because I don’t eat seafood.

I tried to switch cabins a couple weeks ago for my cruise in September. Same category, identical cabins in a better location and was told I’d have to pay the current price which would have been $1500 extra.

We will be staying at the Hyatt in Titusville before our cruise, any recommendations on places to eat dinner?

Do you have a travel agent? If so that person could answer all your questions. Good luck

If you are talking about a free shuttle they are few and far between. You’ll most likely pay for one so better to just use taxi or Uber

I agree with the above response, you’re going to be rushed. Make other plans. Once I booked a pedicure on embarkation day. Trying to do that and eat lunch was stressful. Just not enough time unless perhaps you have the massages at a later time that day. Plus you don’t really know what time you will actually get on the ship. Your check in time and the time you actually get on the ship could vary.

Thank you, this is helpful.

I am an older person but this is what I’m going to say… Just soap up the kid and hold them under the shower to rinse them off. I’ve done this many times… Many many years ago… with my babies. I’ve also washed kids in a small sink. Just make do with what you’ve got, it’s the old fashion way.

We park right at Port Canaveral as a matter of convenience even though it costs more. We like getting off the ship at the end of the cruise and being able to go right to our car and get on our way home.

Since it is your first cruise I will say there are lounge chairs all over Coco Cay that are free to use.

When we flew into Orlando we stayed at the Hyatt which is right there at the Orlando airport. The next morning we used Cortrans shuttle to get us to the ship and then back to the airport after the cruise. It all worked out very well.

I have been to Coco Cay four times and always used the free beaches and pool so I am familiar with that. But thank you for your response.

I would not go back to blue lagoon. The ferry ride was almost an hour and we were packed into the ferry like sardines in the heat and the beach was overcrowded with not enough lounge chairs for everyone and the lunch was terrible.

I was talking about the tour operator, not the ship itself.

Are there enough lounge chairs at the pool and beach or is it crowded? What times were the options for lunch reservations? Thanks

Could somebody who’s been to the CocoCay Beach club give me information about it. We’re interested in knowing if there’s enough chairs at the beach and pool for everybody and is it worth the money compared to just getting a lounge chair on your own?

Perhaps it just depends on what port you are in. Last year when we docked in Cozumel I asked if they could take me to the place where I would meet the tour bus because it was a long walk. They were more than happy and in fact had five or six wheelchairs lined up there at the dock in case people needed them. When the tour bus returned there was a guy there with a wheelchair waiting to take me back to the ship. He seem to remember me.

I would assume they would give it back at the end of the tour.

Yes I had the beverage package, maybe the assistant waiter just sensed that I wanted my glass refilled or maybe he was just especially attentive.

On my last cruise the assistant waiter kept glasses of wine coming with no cash incentive given ahead of time. I only tip on the last night and I’ve always had wonderful service.
