Coffee Vouchers/Early Morning Coffee
h20skibum replied to Edward51's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We were just on Symphony before Christmas. It was kind of hit or miss, but I was able to get a latte from the machine in the Crown Lounge (Diamond lounge) at 5am some mornings. Other mornings, some things were empty in the machine. They would start servicing the machine around 6:30 as they brought out the breakfast items. Cafe Promenade has coffee early, but it is very strong. -
We began our northward trek yesterday, which made for som interesting driving. The rain stayed west of us for the part of the drive from central Florida, until we got to I-26. It was heavy rain and high winds until we got north of Charlotte. Lots of crashes around that area. It made for an interesting drive. Today, we will get to see a mix of rain and snow on our last 400 miles.

It wasn’t crowded at all at the Beach Club. Although it said it was sold out, there were lots of open loungers, and only 3 or 4 of the OW Cabanas were in use. I guess they would rather see them empty than to charge a reasonable price for them. When we left that area, it did seem more crowded, but not too bad.

TRANSPORTATION FROM HEATHROW AIRPORT TO SOUTHAMPTON
h20skibum replied to Gitana's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
We did National Express from Heathrow to Southampton. From Southampton to London, we used International Friends. Tours of Salisbury Cathedral, Stonehenge, and Windsor Castle were included, and they dropped us at our hotel. -
As of now, since the hotel is so new, they do not have a shuttle to the pier. On a nice, sunny day like this, we could easily walk to terminal 1, but it might be more than some would want. The hotel said they may be getting a shuttle at some point, but now they just recommend private companies. I did see Ubers pulling in. It is across the street if sailing Carnival here, but not for Royal. We did that stay at the Holiday Inn in Southampton, and just walked to the ship with our luggage. It was convenient.

We are sailing from Port Canaveral. Evidently, terminal 3 is used by Carnival. We are at the new Holiday Inn Express. People were just walking across the street. The rooms are nice and new, and huge Sorry for the mess, but this is when we are getting ready to check out. I guess we could walk to terminal 1, because it isn’t that far, but we drove here so we will park at the port. Checking options to get seven of us from here to there in August.
