For your Uber driver to wait, the parking garage at that Publix is free as is the Whole Foods, you will just need to get the parking ticket validated inside when you purchase your wine at Whole Foods.

The parking garage for that Publix is located on the side of Publix on NE 17th Terrace.

The parking garage for Whole Foods is located in the back of the store on SE 2nd.

 

Both of those store have great wine selections. If you go to that Publix, walk inside and it’s all the way to the left in the front of the store by the pharmacy. If you go to Total Wine, it’s in the back corner by the prepared foods, past the seafood and butcher departments.

 

Wine prices are about the same at both stores but Publix will sometimes have specials or even a Buy One Get One going on a few wines. That Publix can have longer lines depending on the day and time.

 

I will tell you that having them wait more than the 3 minutes may cause your rating to go down. Uber is working on raising the wait time to way more per minute, it just hasn’t reached Miami yet.

Thank you so much for the information.

I figure I will offer the Uber driver the amount to wait for us that I would pay for another

Uber to take us to the port and he/she can let me know if they will wait or I get another Uber. Since we need

an XL it should be around $15-$20 for the second Uber. I don't want to deal with luggage (4 adults) twice.

Uber site says this....

Am I correct that this is what is charged for wait time if we make a stop?

ON TRIP

Booking Fee $2.40

Minimum Fare $8.40

Per Minute $0.30

Per Mile $2.01

Not that I want to keep this going but...in the past I have been able to pay by the minute

on the last day just to check in on SW and print my boarding passes....that is no longer available to do???

On the Social Wi-Fi Plan ($5 USD per day)...does this mean I can purchase for just one

day? All I need to do is check in and print my SW boarding passes on the last day.

I don't have a smart phone...I just have a cheap prepaid phone so using my phone for this is not going to work.

Do you remember the tour operator and would you recommend them?

I would like to know this also. Where did the tour take you? We are thinking of doing the walking tour but I don't think the trolleys are running yet.

Thank you. I was thinking of going from FLL to Publix on 1776 Biscayne Blvd and then to the port of Miami. This seems like the most convenient route? Actually looks like about the same for Publix or Whole Foods. I guess I will check prices. I would think Publix is cheaper than Whole Foods?

Thank you. I think we will be okay having them wait for us. I will look online

for a liquor store that I can pre purchase from.....If not I don't think it will be that

long if I go to Publix. Thanks again.

We are flying into FLL and cruising out of port of Miami. We usually fly in the day

before but this time we can't. We would take an Uber from FLL to the Publix near the port of Miami to buy wine, etc. Wondering if we ask the driver to wait and pay him extra or do we have him drop us off and get another Uber for the trip from Publix to the port?

Anyone ever do this?

Doesn't seem like this is catching on.....not much participation.

Thank you, I will keep trying.

I emailed both and I heard back from both. I have booked with Wet Money:cool:

I emailed wet money the day that Karib canceled the reservations on everyone (11/15 ish). I got a response the next day and was able to confirm a golf cart. Keep trying to make contact.

I also inquired on their FB pages....see how that goes.

I emailed MaxKart and also Wet Money 3 days ago and have not heard back from either. I did get an auto reply form MaxKart that they received my email and would look into my request as soon as possible. I'm not holding out much hope for either:(

I believe there is an airport check in computer in the internet cafe, could be wrong put remember seeing a screen with the airline logos. Why not just check in on your smart phone when you get signal.

Thank you. I don't have a smart phone....I'm old school and have a prepaid phone. I will see if I can find out

more information on the airport check in computer you mentioned.

Does the Glory have martini tasting, when and cost?

Does the Glory have pay by the minute or 1/2 hour min. internet package? I just want to check in

on SW for our flights home.

Is there still an option to pay by the minute or for 1/2 hour? I only need to check into SW for

our flights home. We will be on the Glory if that matters.

Yes, they do give you a map, but I don't have a picture of it. Sorry

Thank you. Was it a good map? My son and girlfriend are renting a golf cart and I want them to make

sure they stop at all of the good spots.

This may sound silly but....we have a first time cruiser (young person) with us and I have told her

about the wait staff dancing and singing etc. Do they do that at YTD?

Did you say they gave you a map when you rented the golf cart on Grand Turk? If so

can you post it? Thanks

Thank you all. You have all given me great beaches to look into.

YaY!! Awesome, be sure to come back and let us know what cabana you had and where you buried your treasure(s)!!!

I sure will....:D The other couple, my son and his girlfriend...she is going to be a teacher so maybe

she will do something for a child :D

I cruise in January and I booked in July. FTTF has been sold out since I booked. I have been checking

each morning before I go to work....I check a few times during the day...I check when I get home

after work and then again before I go to bed!!! Finally paid off this weekend. My son got his Friday night

and I got mine this morning. They go very fast. Good luck!

This sounds like fun :D I will be there Jan 6th cruise and we have a cabana.

Count us in!

I will add a note to my paperwork to remind me.

We have two couples in our cabana so maybe there will be two treasures that we leave!!!

Thank you all. Maybe we will try Emerald.

Will be on Carnival Glory the first week in January and looking for a beach....

We dock at 10am and one other ship Norwegian Escape will already be there (8am). No other

ships at this dock. I don't know about the other dock(s). Thinking of Coki since we have not been

to this beach yet. Have been to Magan's and Sapphire. Will Coki be too crowded by this time? Also,

is the "vibe" at Coki pushy as in vendors trying to sell you something constantly? Please elaborate...
