Itchy&Scratchy

Please do. We are in E512 in December and were wondering about it.

both E332 and E502 were great cabins. E502 was closer to the stairs and elevators which was a plus for my limited-mobility dad.

E332 was a deluxe room, so it had a single sofa bed which was more comfortable than the regular single beds, so I used it for myself instead of my kiddo.

My parents enjoyed E502 very much.

I sent photos of the view to Renmar right after the cruise, but I checked and as of yesterday, he didn't add them to his website yet.

E502 view

E332 view

I have to say that the obstructed view was identical for both rooms.

was there any noise?

From what I see this port is a big waste of a stop

Regal out of FLL hands down.

We too fly Spirit, and if you add a bag (not carry on) during check out, it's only $30.

Also check out Southwest prices (2 bags are free).

Track suits. I thought those were only worn by terrorists and people from The Villages.

that Alfredo's is free.

that there is a coffee card.

that coffee in the Horizon buffet on Regal is real, and not syrup.

that you can ask for a mattress topper (didn't get it, though)

that you have to recheck the rates even after booking

that there are such things as upsells and upgrades

that there are sofa beds in deluxe balcony rooms, but not in regular balcony rooms

what about cabin E626 on Regal? would it be affected on a Caribbean sailing?

Good we agree that you need to be a legal immigrant permanently living in the United States to join the U.S Military as an Enlisted member.

for argument sake - what about MAVNI program?

The OP said 'motel' but I think they mis-typed and meant at the port.

With so many of us saying Falmouth is a not so nice port, why do cruise companies still go there?

that is a million dollar question...

Voice of the Ocean, like the International Crew Show, will be missed.

we had it on our Thanksgiving cruise.

Falmouth or Cozumel.

ripped off over the years by completely different drivers with a different amount of passengers riding? Back in 2009 with 2 people we paid $16. The price has been steadily rising over the years, and now with 5 people the meter was $24 and it was right.

I am having trouble with the prices.... Before I login, the cruise I picked are priced $899 1/2 person, and $499 per 3/4 person. Once I log in, the price is $759 pp 1/2 person and $699(!) per 3/4 person. It doesn't make any sense! Why would the 3/4 person price go up after I log in?

I always take a taxi. I tell the driver here’s a $20. What ever the fair is the rest is yours. The most it ever read on the meter was $12.00.

from FLL to Port Everglades the meter is $12????

Something isn't right.

We had a metered taxi two weeks ago. 5 people. Meter was $24 and some change, and I gave the guy $27.

On the way back the other taxi driver refused to meter and charged us a flat fee of $30. He received no tip.

My kid is more or less omnivorous, but we have found the kid's menu food to be rather inedible. So, my kid (he is 6 now) has pretty much stuck to fruit salads and bread'n'butter in MDR on every cruise since he was 4. On his first cruise at 3 all he wanted was ceasar salads and bread.

Kids could behave differently on a cruise, because of the new situation. You never know.

Oh, and check out the Travel with Disabilities board for additional tips on sailing with allergies and autism.

on our latest cruise 2 weeks ago, we chose the latest time to disembark on the questionnaire and received tags for the 9 am group in the casino. We didn't want to wait in the smoke cured casino, so we stayed in the buffet till 9:30 and then disembarked in less than a minute. The suitcases were already waiting for us at the terminal, of course.

And the answer is

 

...Never mind

nope. The answer is 42.

It may not know if you speak English or not but in Guest Check In for the cruise, it does ask your preferred language. That definitely gives them some idea.

"Onboard Documents Language Preference Select "

lol, that didn't work for us. I chose Russian for my parents, and they still got everything in English. When I inquired at the Service Desk, they looked at me as if I had two heads.

Last year Russian subtitles were available on the on demand movies. Not this year, though.

The menus were available in Russian last year and this year, if requested from your waiter, but they were google-translated most of the time and it made for a very funny situation when I compared the English version to the Russian version.

Plus, Princess would not be able to determine whether I speak another language just going by last names or our language preference if I don't change it to another language.

Are the clubs maybe bigger on the two ships you mentioned and better equipped to deal with additional bodies in the rooms?

What was hugely disappointing about Caribbean princess is that the jungle gym was in the room for 8-12 year olds, instead of the much younger crown that would enjoy it more.

Others have mentioned that they have been permitted into the clubs - this used to be the case when we first started cruising (and certainly is still allowed if you have a child under 3 as they are not permitted to stay alone). However, in the past 5 years or so this is strictly frowned upon and you aren't even allowed past the main entrance at drop off or pick up.

Not on Princess. Two weeks ago on Regal both my DH and I walked in with our kiddo in the middle of the day and felt very welcome. Now, DS didn't stay (he never does), but still. And last year on Caribbean princess we actually stayed with the kiddo (he was 6), and other parents were also in the club with their kids. Most of us were playing computer games, and nobody ever told us to leave until it was time to close for lunch.

We had a problem with a taxi driver with our last cruise there. Tried to charge us a fixed fare from terminal to airport. I said it is meter and he quickly changed his tune.

On our trip 2 weeks ago FLL to port was a metered taxi. On the way back the other guy was a horrible driver to begin with (very aggressive, changing lanes every 3 seconds, etc.) and charged us a flat fee, even though I asked to run a meter AND there were huge signs at PE about taxis having to use a meter. I gave him his $30 flat fee and not a cent more.

Enjoy the couch!

by the way, I found the single sofa bed that the coach unfolds into to be more comfortable than the regular single beds.

and make sure to wear water shoes while on Princess Cays. The island has horribly sharp rocks under the sand and one can get badly hurt.

Born to Dance is also one of our favorite productions. Thanks for sharing.

We liked it a lot!
