OMG, this is the funniest part of this whole thread! We use the " *.* is so hot right now" meme at work when the boss is really focusing on a specific part of a project and riding us about it and he has no clue! And it changes weekly! Thanks for the chuckle!

It may be smoother as there is a 15 day cruise that started on March 29. So if there are a bunch of people that stayed on the ship after getting into Fort Lauderdale on April 7, that means a lot less folks trying to board. At least that's what I hope!

Day 1 - embark at Fort Lauderdale Day 2 - day at sea Day 3 - Belize Day 4 - Costa Maya Day 5 - Cozumel Day 6 - day at sea Day 7 - disembark at Fort Lauderdale Thanks!

Well that's the problem we're running into. The only sea days are the first and last night.

We will be on the Rotterdam on the 6 night April 7th sailing. We want to book our dinner reservations at Pinnacle, Tamarind and Rudy's but also want to see the shows. Not just the Broadway shows but the Rolling Stone Rock shows. Does anyone know what times these shows are and how often? Are they nightly and are there more than one show per night? The only dinner reservations are around the 8 to 8:30 time slots or later, which are okay with me and my wife, and if they have earlier shows (or later) we can work with that too. Oh, and on a 6 night cruise, when is the "Dressy" night? Thanks in advance

MSC Meraviglia makes an emergency stop in Miami. https://crew-center.com/msc-meraviglia-makes-stop-near-portmiami-due-medical-emergency

I did check all the reviews and found nothing. I may call the excursion company to find out specifics, was just hoping someone here may have happened to go to the same excursion. Thanks

This is all they have and I assume it is a stock photo.

Anyone have an idea where or what the name of this place is? I found it through the Costco Travel shore excursions group but it is very vague and I would rather do research on where I am going rather than just reading a paragraph. Costa Maya Beach Day Make the most of your day in port and enjoy a relaxing day at the beach with this Costa Maya Excursion, it will make all the difference of your visit to the Caribbean. Be taken on a short ride after meeting your Costa Maya tour operator at their office location, to a beautiful, white sandy beach. From the moment you arrive you will feel your cares disappear as you listen to the gentle sound of the waves crashing at the shore. Stake your spot for sunbathing or if you would rather relax under the shade of palm trees, the choice is yours. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are included as well as the restaurant bar which offers all the facilities for your comfort; bar service on the beach so you can enjoy all-you-can-drink open bar, restaurant service on the beach to enjoy the unlimited Mexican snacks and a delicious local dish. Relaxing music fills the air and there is a variety of water sports you can choose from (at your own expense). Some of the water activities you can enjoy are boat rides, fishing,kayaks, paddle boards and of course snorkel tours. You can even elect for a relaxing massage on the beach!

So if I have the premium plus package, I can get a whole bottle of champagne without paying for the bottle or I would have to pay for it? I am very confused by the different packages.

I found this video on Youtube by a blogger about going from NJ to the NY Manhattan cruise port which answered a bunch of questions I had. Specifically abut the ramp to the top of the parking deck and other stuff. I was unaware we parked on the top deck!

I found a video some blogger put out a few weeks ago, showing his trip from NJ to the terminal, it answers a LOT of questions about this port.

I found this video that answers a lot of questions we have.

How soon can one drop their bags off at the terminal on the day of the cruise.

Good points!! There is something to be said about convenience, being right there at the port vs having to walk or take a cab/shuttle or other. Thanks for your reply
