Take the TriRail commuter train between the airports. $5.00 per person. Safe and reliable… https://www.tri-rail.com 

To/From FLL Airport and TriRail FLL / Hollywood International Airport at Dania Beach Station - free bus.

To/From MIA Airport and MIA TriRail Station - MIA Mover free.

Key Bridge clearance height was 185’. Hopefully, when they rebuild her, they’ll make her tall enough for larger ships to clear at high tide (Oasis Class is 240’ above the waterline).

Yet another opinion. . . 
 

I see the possibility of the returning ships using one of the piers at Sparrow’s Point dockyard; guests being debarked and bussed over to the cruise port to recover their cars, and BWI airport for their onward travel.

RCI and Carnival will relocate their returning ships to other ports and adjust itineraries as necessary.

Between clearing the debris of the F.S. Key bridge and rebuilding of a replacement; it’s going to be months (if not a year or more) before we see pleasure cruises resuming out of Baltimore. 

Thank you both, very much!

Regarding the on-board laundromats.

What is the cost for one washer load? Drier? Do the machines take quarters, or tokens only? And, if tokens only, how much do they cost?

Big "Thank you" to you both! Really cleared that up.

Now, to start packing. Only have 4 months to go . . . . !

No. But, can we switch which devices we are using without charge? Doesn't each one have a separate IP address?

Have a cruise booked with the Princess Plus package. This includes beer, wine and spirits (up to $12 value), prepaid gratuities and internet (for one device per passenger). We will have four devices (his cell phone, her cell phone, his iPad and her laptop). If we upgrade from Plus to Premier (which would give us each internet for four devices), the cost is an additional U$ 25.00 per person, per day. The cost of an internet package for only one device is U$ 9.99 per device, per day. My question is:

Can we keep our Plus Package and add two devices for U$ 19.98 per day?

Has RCI resumed hosting M & Ms?

I understand some cruise lines are limiting bookings to 50% of full capacity, while others are accepting every booking for every cabin they can. What about RCI? Are they limiting bookings, and if so to what level?

Yes, you still want to tip the staff person that brings you room service a few bucks even if there is a surcharge. 👍

 

😎

Contact  your bank and order $100 in $2.00 bills ((yes, there really is such a denomination). They are perfect for tips and ensure that you are remembered!

We give one per room service delivery, one per bag to the porters, etc.

Hi Jenn,

Princess has made a change on their 6 August 2021 12-Night British Isles sailing. The itinerary and dates are the same; however, they have pulled the Crown Princess and replaced her with the Sky Princess. Can we get the roll call retitled from "Crown Princess: Aug 6, 2021 - British Isles " to "Sky Princess: Aug 6, 2021 - British Isles  " and moved from Crown to Sky on the boards? Thanks. . . 

Ahoy Avonne! 

There are many waterproof pouches you can purchase to hold your cell phone and cash.  Just do an Amazon, Bing or Google search for " watertight cellphone case ". You'll need one big enough for your cell phone, folding cash, credit card and your SeaPass card. 

We'll see you onboard!

Thank you Von & John. I knew there was someone out there with good info.

When the cruise lines resume operations, will we be required to provide the cruise line the results of a recent (within 14 days) Covid-19 negative test; and/or proof of vaccination (if one becomes available)?

Thinking that this would allow each sailing to provide local authorities with information to facilitate port clearances.

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything on this, from RCI, or any of the cruise corporations. Assuming that what one does, the others will follow . . .

Based on scheduled end-of-cruise port arrival of 7:00 am; what time does early walk off begin?  

You chaps (see I'm trying to "speak English", as opposed to "talking American") are top notch! Thank you, again . . .

Again, thank you. My greatest concern on the car hire is that the sum total of my driving experience is on the wrong side of the road (from the British point of view). But. if the locals are adept at dodging tourists, I'm willing to give it a try . . . 😲   

Ahoy Simon and John Bull;

Thank you for your prompt responses. Wow . . . National Express is a significant difference over National Rail. Enough, in fact, that the savings will halve the cost of our pre-cruise hotel. Not sailing until next August. Confident that everything will be back to "the new normal" by then. Will hold off on purchasing Express tickets until final cruise payment date.

Post-cruise, we would like to spend a fortnight touring Cornwall and the Midlands for some genealogical research. Will probably get a Flexible 8-Day BritRail England Pass for that. Any recommendations on that?

Planning on arriving London Heathrow around 9:40 am. Want to take train from the airport to Southampton. Then, will take taxi to hotel. Any idea of how long it will take? Hotel is asking for projected check-in time.

How about having a "Magic Carpet" on both port and starboard sides?

You're not limited to how many appetizers, entrees or deserts you can order. On a recent cruise one of our group, looking at the desert menu, said, "There's just too many to choose from." I, jokingly said , "What the hell MIke . . . Order one of each." It took him a while, but he did finish all 13 in one sitting . . .  !

Seriously, you can order multiples of any course, or multiple courses, or both, or all . . .
