Flygirl, I by chance caught your post on here, we are on the same Glory cruise as you and I was checking for hotels tonight. I have to say I used LMT to book the SpringHill Suites for $77. I owe you a drink because I never would have thought about it! :)

Any one recently have a massage at paradise beach, what is the rate now/

does anybody know what the rate for massages is now? Trying to determine if we should do an all inclusive and add massages or just go to Paradise like before & pay for food, alcohol and massages separate.

Thanks for the info

We are flying in late into MIA on a friday night (11pm) and looking to book a hotel that has a airport to hotel shuttle, is there any recomendations on which to stay at that may offer a shuttle to POM the next morning or should we just get a cab Saturday morning?

We have had nothing but great professional service with SAS. Very easy to book and easy to get in touch with when your on the ground. No stress! Will cost you about $15 per person.

 

 

We didn't do too much this night either because the sun has a way of making you tired. They were playing Godzilla tonight on the dive-in movies and we decided to watch that. We didn't really feel like getting ready and going to sit at a real dinner this night, and this movie started at 7 anyway. We'd miss our dinner, but my BF and I had never seen this movie and I can't think of a better place to watch it. We ate a quick snack when we got back on the boat and then went to our rooms to shower and get ready. And then we all met for movie time.

 

 

 

 

The movie was great, but it got really chilly out on the lido deck while we were watching the movie. The sea wind mixed with the sun going down provided the need for a blanket. We didn't leave to get one, but maybe bring one with you if you plan on watching a movie up there at night, especially this time of year. After the movie we went to the buffet to catch a quick dinner. I will say, although the buffet serves a lot of the same foods that you'd get on this nights dinner menu, it was cold by the time we ate it which was close to 9pm. I get that they were going to be closing at 9:30, but if your still going to serve food until 9:30 it would be nice if it stayed hot until 9:30. We were glad we didn't go to the dining room tonight to eat because we didn't care much for the food at the buffet. My bf's brother's wife had left for bed already while the rest of us ate so when we finished eating we all just called it a night. The last three days exhausted us and we knew we'd get 2 more relaxing sea days to enjoy. When we got back to the room, we watched another movie on the laptop that my boyfriend brought, but we didn't even make it halfway because we were so tired.

 

Tonight Camelia left this guy for us.

 

 

And then on a side note about Camelia, I wanted to share how amazing she was. She always had our ice full, she always remembered our names when she saw us walking by, she always had a smile on her face when we saw her, she remembered how I wore my robe(with the sleeves folded up a little bit) and would hang it just where I always did when it wasn't on the floor to be exchanged. But the thing that shocked me the most was we would leave her money on the counter, and every time we did that I would write her a note saying thanks for all that she does and one night I didn't leave a note, but it was the same amount that we had been leaving when we'd leave tips and no other money was out around it so we figured she'd take it, but she didn't touch it. Camelia was so trustworthy she didn't even take a tip that was left on the counter for her because it didn't specifically say so. I loved her so much for everything she did and especially because we could trust her. If you guys get Camelia, she will take good care of you. So I hope you take good care of her too.

I have a question about the Little French Key...you I think mentioned next time you would book it through the cruise line (we are leaving Nov 8 on the Glory out of Miami with all the same stops almost)...anyway it's called French Key on Carnival...I may sounds crazy but do you think that would be the same thing? I definitely am going to the same place you did, I've seen tons of reviews on it!! And btw I love reading about your trip!!

Used Pack and Play to book a cruise on Glory in November. Balcony on 7th floor for $120 per person. Total with taxes was $503 and $100 OBC. $403 for a cruise I probably wouldnt have taken. I did confirm with my PVP that its a casino offer.

FTTF is the best $$ we have ever spent!! We just booked this cruise on the Breeze last week that leaves in 5 days and I would pay $100 to have FTTF right now...especially due to the fact that I have a really bad ankle that is about to have reconstruction surgery when we get back & I would love the fact of not having to wait to embark, disembark and several other different scenario's!!! But unfortunately we are S#it out of luck...

So while others think it's a waste...I'd pay double and even triple!! :confused:

This review is awesome!! We leave for this same cruise in 5 days and I'm already excited BUT after reading all this from your review oh' man I'm even more excited now :)

We just booked this cruise last week...was originally booked to leave Sat on the Dream for different ports for a 7 day cruise (but due to the loss of a parent we had to cancel it) and didn't even think we would be able to go on a cruise this year...but my wonderful husband surprised me when he booked the Breeze and said "hey babe we are leaving for Miami on the 16th, be ready to go". So now we don't have FTTF as we did on the Dream & it's sold out :(

But after reading this wonderful review I do believe it sounds like we will be just fine!! Sounds like there is not much of a wait on embarkation like on all our past Carnival cruises without FTTF. Since you all have been what do you think?? not that it matters now!! lol

:confused:

You could also fly from FLL to MLB (Melbourne Florida) which is the closest airport to Port Canaveral and maybe save some time and/or money instead of shuttling from Orlando. Whatever you decide to do, listen to some of the others here and do not try and get to the port on the day of your cruise!!

Our flight gets in at 11pm to FLL and would love to stay by the Port of Miami if possible. Are there any good shuttles that run that late or we "stuck" in FLL hotel until the next morning?

We are on the November 12th Sailing of Destiny and we were looking for pics. The review and pics are great.
