Thank you!  So you boarded down by the Atrium and RBar?  

Yes, that’s where we boarded.

Thank you for your replies.  If we can’t access our cabins and grab our Seapass cards, do we just provide our cabin number to the bartenders for drinks before 1:00?

 

I was on Serenade last week. Prior to our cabin being ready at 1 pm, we didn’t have access to our sail cards. We just gave the bartender our cabin number to order our drinks.

I just was on Serenade last week, and we boarded onto Deck 4.

Happy to help.☺️🛳️

The earliest reservation time for MTD is 6 30.  We just walked in between 5 30 and 6 pm and were seated immediately.  We were on Serenade again last week and we had no issues going in to the dining room at those times. If you plan to use MTD anytime after 6 30, you should probably make a reservation.

We had My Time Dining on Serenade in April.  We went into the dining room around 5:45 to 6 pm each night and were seated immediately.  We will be on her again in 2 weeks, and expect to have no problems with being seated at similar times.

My DD and I are sailing on Independence in November.  What is the cost of a total of 4 devices between us per day? TIA.

We’ll be sailing on Royal Caribbean, Odyssey OTS to Puerto Plata in February.  Which pier will we dock at?  TIA.

We have stayed at the DoubleTree Resort in Hollywood Beach several times and loved the location.  It’s 20 minutes to Fort Lauderdale, and about 30 to South Beach Miami.  Beautiful resort with a gorgeous pool on the intercostal, and across the street from the beach. 
 

In case our situation happens to anyone else, I called Port of Tampa parking and spoke to a very helpful agent.  We were told that even though we purchased parking for self-parking at Terminal 6, we can use that parking ticket at Terminal 3.  So problem solved.

you will be hiking…..

 

Is there anyway you can go back into your reservation and pay the small extra fee for valet?  Worth every single penny to have your car out in front of the terminal and waiting for you!!!

Thank you for your recommendation. I will go into my reservation to see if it’s possible to change it to valet.

We are cruising out of Tampa in August. I pre-paid for self-parking at the Port.  I have since learned that the lot we are using is at Terminal 6.  Our ship is docked at Terminal 3.  Is there a shuttle to take us, or will we be hiking? TIA for any information.

How far is it from the ship to the town? Is it walkable? Or should we get off the ship and hire a tour operator for a few hours?  Would like to know what sights to see, and what others have to recommend. TIA.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

We always, always, always book a cabin close to stairs and elevator, and have never had issues with noise. Ever.

Rent a mobility scooter for your cruise. You can very likely arrange to have it delivered to you at the port of embarkation.

Thank you, from a fellow Floridian!🌴🌞

I couldn't find it anywhere. Would someone please give me Michael Bayley's Email address.  TIA.

Back in the early 90s when we started cruising, we were given a booklet with a complete passenger list. I think it was discontinued by the mid to late 90s.

I live in Florida, so cool and comfortable masks are a must.  The cloth masks are too warm, so I've been using the disposable ones, and they are cooler and very comfortable.

If your changing a cruise to an FCC, can the FCC be used as your deposit or do you have to put a deposit of your own money down then use the FCC ?

Thank you for your help..............

Yes, you can use your FCC as a deposit for a future sailing.

Very true.

67 million in the UK but a big proportion won't bother getting a vaccine.

I believe many in the U.S. will not get a vaccine either.

Thank you.

Our UK chief medical officer said in a news update today that a vaccine might be available by Xmas for priority people and more widely available spring 2021.

Let's hope he is right.

Graham.

Population of U.S. is 330 million.  Mass immunization will not happen quickly.

Until a vaccine is available the possible consequences of cruising do not look 

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.  I can't even imagine getting back on a ship until there is a vaccine. 

I miss traveling, and I miss all the planning.  What I have realized, though, I miss our land trips more than cruising.  We will eventually get back to both.  Gotta stay optimistic.
