We are flying into Ft L but our cruise departs from Miami. Any recommendations on convenient and economical travel between cities ? Thanks.

We are cruising out of Miami but because of scheduling we are flying into and out of ft. Lauderdale. We read somewhere that there are reasonably priced shuttle services between the two cities. Does anyone have any info or experience doing this? We would appreciate any information. Thanks in advance.

Funny how different folks look at this differently. My husband tends to order the smoked salmon EVERY MORNING for breakfast with a bagel, BEFORE, he orders his "main course".

 

We have frequently commented that the amount of smoked salman on any one plate is enough for two people.

 

Having grown up having smoked salmon (lox) very regularly, and knowing how pricey it is, two pieces seems like a more than adequate portion to me.

Yes, sorry I meant the Lido. I agree it is pricey but that is one of the reasons we chose to book on a premium line. If we had booked on a lesser cruise line I would have no expectations, we would pay less and would not complain. HAL are pretty clever in that they dont actually remove an item, they merely make it more difficult or inconvenient to obtain. Sadly, this is an indication of yet another cutback that is met with not even a whimper.

As for portions, well who is to say whether 2, 4 or 6 slices is enough. Others may love prime rib or pork chops, personally I wouldnt touch it; and its not for me to say.

A recent veendam reviewer indicated that help yourself smoked salmon is no longer available for breakfast as it once was. Apparently it is now doled out 2 slices per plate. This is one item I was so looking forward to on our nov cruise to hawaii. Have other veendam cruisers found this change as well. Say it aint so!! Thanks.
