pamssanity Posted November 10, 2013 #33 Share Posted November 10, 2013 We're traveling with you today. Parking the axe at Embassy Suites as live in Florida. We too will be staying on board at least in Nassau. So you'll have to share some deck space. I'm traveling with my DH and two other couples. We're on deck 14. Some day will get to mini or full suite level. Maybe we will cross paths. Who knows with 6000 people On Board. Here's to smooth sailing and great adventures.

Rare niksmom630 Posted November 10, 2013 Author #34 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Good morning from the Embassy Suites, all! Thanks for the replies and kind words, I'll try and answer questions once I get a reliable wifi connection on board. I purchased the wifi package for $9.95 (daily rate), and though it showed I was connected, nothing would load. I'll try and post some photos of the hotel now.

Rare niksmom630 Posted November 10, 2013 Author #37 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The grounds are lovely here. The "good" about this hotel.... - convenient to shopping - complimentary breakfast was good, but avoid the precooked eggs (horrible) and opt for the egg station, where you can get omelets and made to order eggs - the beds were extremely comfortable - nice pool area - complimentary happy hour also a bonus but lines were incredibly long!

Rare niksmom630 Posted November 10, 2013 Author #40 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The "not so good" about this hotel.... - for $200 plus dollars per night, you'd think they'd include free wifi. - the rooms are a bit dated, and could use updating. - when I booked this hotel, the website advertised, and showed pictures of "real" balconies, ya know, the kind with a table and chairs? Well, not the case here, many of these balconies are the peek a boo style Was not able to get a balcony with a view of the port, but was able to change to a room with a real balcony overlooked 17th street. Also, there is a small public balcony on the 12th floor, with a good view if the port. It was there that I spotted Oasis yesterday. Think I will run up there now to see Allure!!! Final thought--I never picked up water, wine and soda as I had planned. Why you may ask? Well I never considered how I was going to carry all this back to the hotel with me. Guess I could have emptied a suitcase, and rolled it over to the store with me, but I actually just thought about that potential solution right now....

Pebbles468 Posted November 10, 2013 #43 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Lovely pictures... I hadn't realized the Embassy Suites pool was so beautiful! Sorry when I asked about excursions earlier ... I realize you're not planning any formal excursions, but are you planning on doing your own thing in Cozumel or Jamaica or completely staying on the ship? We haven't planned any formal excursions -- and were wondering if we could do our own thing at a reasonable price once off the ship. Our biggest problem is Jamaica and having to drive the 45min to either Mobay or Ocho Rios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare niksmom630 Posted November 10, 2013 Author #47 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Sitting in the suite boarding section now!!! Left hotel at 1030, all checked in and ready to go! Our traveling companions were allowed to join us in this section, although they are not in a suite. We planned on getting a few taxis to transport us to the pier, instead if the hotel shuttle, which I believe was $10 per person. We wound up taking a van, double bb transportation company, $40 total for the 8 of us. Boarding the b2b now....
