Rare Sea Dog Posted May 6, 2023 #1252 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Thank you @twangster for another fantastic review. Photography stellar as usual. I really enjoyed seeing how the locks work and their history. I think I have moved this cruise up on my preference list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted May 6, 2023 Author #1256 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Ship cleared at 7:50am. Suite Concierge escorted us to the front. Off the ship at 7:55am. No facial recognition. Cleared CBP and outside by 8am. I looked earlier, here were the rates for ride share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were spoiled when we lived in NJ and could fly nonstop from Newark. From Nashville we have to change plans. The other 2 couples we're traveling with for the first cruise, arrive Wednesday. From Tampa we head to Hilton Head with a rental car for a meeting and then a drive home. Btw b2b cruises are nice. Are you flying thru DFW?? We meet up with Chuck and Carol in DFW for our flight to Vancover. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic I think we're changing in Denver. United changed our flight. Originally I think it was Houston. We flew with American last May coming home from Amsterdam and they messed us up. They couldn't care less. While I know I'll fly them again but try not to. In Vancouver we're at Marriott Pinnacle Downtown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this sounds stupid but never used Lyft or Uber (don't have them where we live in the UK) but are those prices plus tip and if so how do you add it?

Marella Discovery will be home ported from Port Canaveral soon for TUI. It doesn't look like we (US citizens) can book her, she's being offered with packages from the UK that bundle airfare to MLB airport near the port. Nonetheless Splendor a.k.a Marella Discovery will be back in the US and operating from PCN the day after we disembark from Radiance in LA. I hope that changes at some time soon. There's already one itinerary out of PC that we'd love to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted May 6, 2023 Author #1264 Share Posted May 6, 2023 My flights at 2pm. I was tempted to take the 11am flight and I could have made it toyay but I gave myself more time in case of a delayed arrival by the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all done through their app, no cash exchanged. At the end of your ride, it'll prompt you for a tip amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California has an environmental regulation called CARB that requires ship connect to shore power and minimize engine use. This machine hoists the electrical cables onto the ship. I'm not sure if it was widely known that Radiance is shore power capable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
