I did it on the app a few weeks ago.  I could not find it on the website. 

I print out sail pass as someone pointed out. I print the luggage tags.  Personally too much going on when trying to check in to be bothered writing on the tag. We go down a day head so when we hit the hotel, we just insert over our address on our clear tags.  Again. all personal preference.  We all have our own routine. What ever works for you.

This gives me hope for our 11:40 flight.  Good job on your part. Always stressful of all the unknowns. 

Haven't been on a RCCL ship in a couple of years. Do they load your card day of embarkation?  I thought I read they changed something up with the drinks.

We are down to $34.00 for each of us for the end of May. Will be memorial day weekend.  Hopefully the  cruise will not be too crowded.  Keep waiting for the price to dip a bit more. But happy with the price we are at.

I was  in there earlier. All good.

Just redeemed for our Icon cruise, only took 2 days to post on our reservation.

rock the boat.... did you book yourself? Or through at TA? 

I just did mine. I will let you know when I hear from them. I leave in 32 days.

It will only be two of us on a Sunday morning.  I don't mind paying, but seems pretty high. Only 2 pieces of luggage.  So smaller side.  We usually go out of Ft. L and it didn't seem so high. I did read somewhere that they got rid of flat rate.  Ugggg

If mobility is not a problem, you can take the light rail to about 3 blocks from the Hampton Brickell. Seems to me it was about $5pp last time I took it. The Hampton has a shuttle to the port. I think it was $8pp.

Thank you for this. I feel I am looking for the taxi price.  But knowing about the mover helps. I am not cheap but $50.00 plus tip seems high from the airport to the hotel.

We usually stay at the Hampton Inn in Brickell. Close to a lot of shop and restaurants over near the Brickell Center. We no longer dress up for formal nights. But do dress resort casual.  Hope this helps

I did search the newest thread I found was back in January.  Someone in an other site indicated that they paid $50.00 by taxi from Miami airport to their hotel in Brickell. This seems pretty high to me. Anyone with first hand knowledge?  Also, how much should I expect to pay for a trip to the port of Miami?  We usually go out of Ft. L.  TIA

We are at the point that I don't want to spend cruises with other folks.  We use to.  With friends and kids that went to HS together and family members. Done with that.  It works for some, not so much for others.

We will be doing the opposite in September. Trying X for the first time.  We are not into the ramped up ships of RCCL any longer and hope this is a good fit for us. Trying the Beyond. and very excited for a bit toned down.  We love RCCL. however, it just does not fit our style any longer. Just wish X did the 4 drink/day because that's about what we need.  Not buying a drink package as hubs no longer imbibes.  We are diamond on R. ( just barely hahha).  We bounce between Princess, NCL and Royal.

Just returned from a wonderful visit to the Marriott curacao and we were so happy and satisfied with their location, service and food.  

 

I booked for a variety of factors: wave action, pool usage, towels provided, and menu.  The added benefits for us were availability of palapa style loungers near the pool (no extra charge), the close proximity and convenience of beach access, beverage and food service personally delivered in a timely manner.  There is also a dedicated adults only pool with an infinity like view straight to the ocean. And a ledge to place ones beverage. 

 

As I looked on google maps, I noticed many of the beachfront hotels have protective barrier reefs aways out.  This area did not, although a bit south had one.  We really enjoyed the rolling waves and the idea of playing in the water.  When we wanted to relax, we just went to the pool.  

We were charged $95 total, and received a food/beverage credit of about $40 total.  Bill at the end ended up around $40.  

 

We have been to Avila on a resort pass, and can compare favorably for the Marriott.  I cannot say one is better, but rather the Marriott suited iur needs better.  Transportation was offered at $20 each way via private van.  We arranged pick-up time with driver on our way in.  He gave us contact info if we wanted to adjust the time.

 

thank you so much for the review. We are still deciding what to do there in September.  Much appreciate

Just left Paradise Beach.  
 

Food and drinks are solid!  We got a daybed 14.  Highly recommended this bed, close to the pool and straight shot to the beach.  
 

Only negative is that there is a good amount of sargassum.  Workers were working hard to clear it up but I believe it has been an issue for the past week.

thanks for coming back and letting us know. I am leaning towards PB.  Someone on this site brought up Bucannos so looking at that too.

Just bit the bullet and "changed" my password. I just used the same exact one and it worked.  Just aggravated I missed out on a price drop on hide away beach. My own fault for being stubborn.

Have you changed your PW?

I don't want to do that at this point. I was hoping they would fix the glitch.  I have read some folks have changed their PW and still has issues.

My hide away went down yesterday. Only issue is I am one of the ones that can't get into my account.  So frustrating. 

Still not letting me log in. Bad UN or PW. This is not good.

Still not able on my laptop. And I'd rather not change the PW in case that doesn't work. Of course I want to get into my cruise since Hideaway Beach just dropped in price!

Thank you for this. 

We will be going to these island in September. So thank you for asking this.

I would try and call A, T and T. I have had to call them over the years for charges.  (DS was making bad 800's   Uggg). They were very accommodating. This was a quite a few years ago. So not sure if they have changed. They removed the charges.

I was only in their cabin a few times, but seemed to be the same storage we had in our sunset veranda, which is a decent amount.

Thank you for this!
