Amosmoses33 Posted October 12, 2017 #54 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Do me a favor, we just got off last Saturday (10/7). Go by the upper waves pool bar (near the tube waterslide) and tell bartender Danny that William, Jacob and Andrew say hello....Please. Best bartender I've ever had. Would see us out of corner of his eye and immediately grab us a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie Cruiser 2010 Posted October 13, 2017 #58 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Following another of your great live reviews. Really hope you enjoy Escape as much as I did. Think it might be my favorite ship so far. Have a great time Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BugsyCruiser Posted October 13, 2017 Author #61 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Good morning! It's the final day of pre cruise fun here in Fort Lauderdale! I'll be going into details today about the cruise: cabin, dining, excursions, etc. For now, I am in the process of making up [emoji6] Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BugsyCruiser Posted October 13, 2017 Author #63 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Okay some details about my upcoming cruise tomorrow! I took full advantage of the free at sea and opted for the ultimate beverage package and specialty dining package. I've booked the following restaurants in advance: Teppenyaki Cagney's La Cucina Food Republic will definitely get a few visits from me. From what I have seen, it looks like it will be great! It is doubtful you will see me in the buffet at all and the main dining rooms on this cruise. I find myself visiting these places less and less on each cruise, if it all anymore CABIN: I opted for 11782, a balcony on the hump, starboard side. I did not bid at all for an upgrade because as a solo cruiser some of the minimum bids I would have had to put in started at 800 to 1500 dollars. Too much for me Sent from my Samsung Tab S2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugsyCruiser Posted October 13, 2017 Author #64 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Plans for the ports of call: Roatan: staying on the ship. Harvest Caye: explore, drink, eat, repeat Costa Maya: Maya Chan beach resort with a group Cozumel: Beach day at the El Cid. It'll feel kind of weird looking at the ship I was on back in April, Harmony of the Seas Sent from my Samsung Tab S2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted October 13, 2017 #65 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Chris, does you cruise leave from Miami? I was just thinking about that because you are in Fort Lauderdale right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugsyCruiser Posted October 13, 2017 Author #66 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Chris, does you cruise leave from Miami? I was just thinking about that because you are in Fort Lauderdale right now.Yep Miami. I just opted to stay pre cruise in Fort Lauderdale Sent from my Samsung Tab S2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted October 13, 2017 #67 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Yep Miami. I just opted to stay pre cruise in Fort Lauderdale Was the choice due to better value for location in FLL VS MIA? I have been looking at Miami hotels and flights for our Symphony Cruise and Miami seems to cost more across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleClark Posted October 13, 2017 #68 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Been a lurker due to a heavy work schedule. At Newark airport waiting for our flight! Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugsyCruiser Posted October 13, 2017 Author #69 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Was the choice due to better value for location in FLL VS MIA? I have been looking at Miami hotels and flights for our Symphony Cruise and Miami seems to cost more across the board.That factored into it. I'm used to staying in Fort Lauderdale and even with the cost of the car service to the port tomorrow it's still cheaper than Miami Sent from my Samsung Tab S2 using Tapatalk Edited October 13, 2017 by BugsyCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy3putts Posted October 13, 2017 #70 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Was the choice due to better value for location in FLL VS MIA? I have been looking at Miami hotels and flights for our Symphony Cruise and Miami seems to cost more across the board. We are set to cruise out of Miami on Equinox in February. Air Fares are ridiculous into Miami. SWA into FLL is half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted October 13, 2017 #71 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Thanks Chris and Tom for the information. This will factor into my planning. Chris I can wait for you to board the ship. I am very interested to see what it has to offer, as it might;) just catch my eye when it relocates to NYC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
