I thought of that.  But our cabin is near the midship elevators.

I'm trying to figure out if we can take the stairs or have to wait on elevators.    We are on deck 10 so three flights if we embark on deck 7.   Now you know.

From the picture it looks like deck 7 to me.   So... two votes deck 7 and two votes deck 5.   Anyone else?

We will be sailing on the Sky Princess out of Ft. Lauderdale.    When you embark the ship in Ft. Lauderdale what deck do you find yourself on?

Thanks everyone!  I understand now.   Yes I plan on WiFi calling but I wanted a last ditch option if all else fails.

Thanks but that link provides numbers for those calling the ship originating outside the US and Canada.  Anyone else?

I am looking for the phone number for the Sky Princess in case the kids would need to get us in an emergency and can't reach us via cell phone.  I have tried to find this information on the website but haven't found it yet.  I would appreciate it if you can tell me where to look.  Yes, I know its very expensive.

Have you looked at Valuetrips.com?     You might be able to get the Hyatt Place Cruise Port for a reasonable amount, depending on the date.   It might be worth a try.

I did this and am booked for $219 plus tax for a Friday night (weekend are more).  Non weekends are $189 I believe.

But how do you know that they are not in the pool or at a bar?   You wouldn't.

This will be my first time using EZAir.    How do you handle problems such as flight delays, cancellations etc that would normally be handled by the desk at the gate or by phone?    Is the procedure to call EZAir first?   Or can I contact Delta?   If I have an issue I don't want to waste time calling the wrong company.

We will be staying at the Hyatt Place on 10th st this time.    I want to take a taxi to the port rather than the hotels shuttle.   I believe the cost of a taxi is less.     Are there taxis readily available at the hotel or do I have to call one?   Or can I have the desk call for a taxi?

On our very first cruise on Carnival I didn't realize that the laundry room had "hours" and as a result our laundry got locked in the laundry room.   I think in that instance it was 8:00 pm.   Anyway I had to go down to guest services and they had to send someone up to unlock the door so I could retrieve our clothes.    So always check the hours.

I can see some things, including the movies on MUTS.   I am 45 days out.

You should be able to see some things on the Princess app in the section Journey View.   I know for our cruise on Feb. 25 I can see Pickleball listed.   I am sure more will be added to Journey View as we get closer but you should see some now.

If your cruise was booked (and paid for BTW) before Dec 14 when they changed things, but the cruise is after Feb 20, will I still get our medallions mailed to us free of charge?   Are we grandfathered in?  I am not clear on this.

We are taking a Princess excursion in Belize which is a tender port.   How do they do this?   Do they have your group meet somewhere on the ship and then go to the tender together?     Are the excursion groups given "priority" on the tenders?    I can't imagine how it would work if you had to get off yourself and meet someplace on shore.   That just doesn't make sense.

I am booked on Feb 24, a Friday night so the rate is higher.   My Valuetrip rate is $219.00 and $28.47 in taxes for a total of $247.47.

I was really hoping the WiFi calling would work on the ship.   Good to know.   And also good to know that the ship will turn off its cell network in port.  Thanks everyone!

I have used EZCheck before.  But it has been 8 years.   I found it very convenient.   

I assume if you want to print your own boarding pass that you would have to do so in the Internet Cafe.

If my ship is in port.   And I am still on the ship.   And I turn airplane mode off in order to get a cell signal.   Will I pick up the signal from land or will it somehow connect to the ship and thereby cost me a lot of money if I use my phone?    I am thinking that this might be the best time to catch up on email, phone calls, etc.   I have T-Mobile and I will have unlimited text and 5GB of data for free in port.   Voice calls will be $.25 per minute.    But that is assuming a connection to the towers on land and not the shlip.

No, I was talking EZAir.  But thanks for the tip.  I also want to use EZCheck.

We are using EZAir for the first time.   My question is regarding check-in.    Do you still check in 24 hrs before your flight with the airline and get your boarding pass?  We are flying Delta.   Or do you have to go through EZAir to get your boarding pass?

We booked all three dining rooms also.   Wanted to try them all.  I know it is only a decor and location thing but still.

You might try calling the hotel direct and inquiring if they have a reservation for you.   I would wait at least a week or two from your request date before doing so.

Just curious.   Why is the bathroom floor elevated 3 inches?   Why can't it all be level?   There must be a good reason.
