Right I've heard of deals out of the west coast but not other ports so much. That's what I said Calif had some deals for cheap, dont see them out if texas or florida. Watching Galveston and now port Canaveral where I hope to move. $100 a day next sept is best I've found in the last months out of texas. That's with my discounts thrown in or the price would be higher. Demand must be high as prices keep going up. If someone finds a $99 deal on cruisefare, please post a thread as deal alert.

Taxi from Orlando Airport to Cocoa Beach area
firefly333 replied to ClaireA1978's topic in Florida Departures
Idk but we took a taxi from Miami to Ft Lauderdale and I didnt notice but it was a larger suv vehicle and apparently charged a 30% premium. Be sure and look to see if any surcharges or get in a small compact taxi. Was $130 before tips. The distance is probably similar to yours from orlando to the port. Your distance might be be further from the port. -
Deals on rcl few and far between but I dont check alaska. Carnival had some great deals last year for alaska. Might again. But overall I've been saying for quite a while carnival prices are very high. I cant ever find anything under $100 a day out of Galveston. Maybe florida will be cheaper as I'm planning a move late 2024. I agree there used to be last minute lower prices on carnival after final payment before covid but I dont see any deals out of ports I watch. Carnival seems to have decided to cater to low priced casino deals from what I can tell. Prices for non casino deals are high. It's how it is. Take it or leave it. Take up gambling.

I could be wrong as west coast seems to have bargains more so than other ports. .. but $99 .. I havent seen a cruise for $99 .. I did allure last dec and it was not cheaper. And got sick onboard the whole 2nd week. I dont know if you get casino offers but $99 also isnt close to typical imo. My issue with rcl last minute deals is they are gty for couples that solo cant usually book and not $99 cruisefare. I think under $100 a day is low .. had some short grandeur last may 2022 but those prices are rare.

Giovannis Table Lunch Menu on Adventure?
firefly333 replied to broadwaycam's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I went to rcl site where my cruises popped up. Then clicked on planner. We bought it on sale for $20.04 for oasis last week. If you are booked look in your planner. Online works better for me. -
Time for flight home from Fort Lauderdale
firefly333 replied to OCVTSGIRL's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We didnt rush off oasis and made it about 9 am I think. We had to wait at least 15 minutes for a taxi. -
I dont think he could walk more. He had knee replacement I think hes recoving from and said he will have the other knee replaced soon, it hurt too. I saw walking more helped but he couldnt walk as much as others with knee replacement. I agree and had suggested endema socks or similar. I got my endema gloves also on amazon. I'm recovering from wrist surgery and swollen. They really do help. @Sea Dog

They have those copper infused sock and other endema socks that fit tight and take down swelling. Maybe wear at night. I bought endema gloves and they do help though cut into my incision. Marty as in marty and helen the doctor also said they are good. They say walk more or do calf exercises. I dont get them in my ankles so far but can say the glove works. I've heard epson salts but you would need a bath tub. These gloves say arthritis but are also to relieve swelling and pain. Check out socks.

I guess you have seen the Bella thread where a whole lot of us just sailed in and out of miami. 2 shootings on the beach. Stay downtown or by the airport. Simple. Stay off the beach during spring break. I assumed you were a seasoned cruiser, but this post doesnt make sense to me. Surely you have gone out of miami before and would know there are other alternatives to Miami beach itself. Last year spring break they also imposed a curfew too.

When I drove to port Canaveral condo shopping I too stayed in some big star hotel name, nice. I looked for another city to stop but there really isnt a good place to stay from dallas other than hattiesburg that I could see. Stayed there both directions and I'm sure I will again when i move. At least you will be home tonight. I enjoyed the garlic shrimp but had had it in Giovanni and shrimp cocktail and in WJ. I got shrimped out lol. And i love shrimp and lobster usually but had enough. But it was the best of the new menu imo.

Sorry we didnt get more time to talk. We briefly talked about Galveston hotels. Imo miami even lower priced were better. Galveston gets by with some that are old and in need of refresh. I honestly though beachfront was better than the la quinta I had stayed at which was much worse. Matter of comparison. La quinta my socks turned brown walking on the wood floor, yes I had a view, but I saw bugs at 3 am and my ac went out. .. that was the worst since covid. Sorry if I misled you that beachfront palms was nice, adequate .. nothing went wrong. I was pleasantly surprised my miami hotel looked better than expected for the price. ..going by what I've seen in Galveston. I think people just are reacting to the word stupid .. not disagreeing with you about liking teams. Just that one word. Not what it was about. Well as one of the Indians... every chief needs Indians to follow making this thread. Thanks for starting this love thread.

Symphony ots has 4 nice ports but I also like sea days. Hard to pick for someone else. I'd do a boardwalk balcony and hope you can see out the aft. I prefer aft view to side view. Very nice ports, unusual somewhat. Can you drive to any of the ports. Maybe look at airfare to help you decide. Odyssey does both private island. Are you a beach person. At least no extra money for excursions these ports if you just want to do the beach.

Next Cruise - No more Free Champaign
firefly333 replied to Slidell_Cruiser's topic in Royal Caribbean International
I seem to get random bottles of wine or champagne delivered. I wish they would quit. Sorry you didnt get one, you could have had mine. I give them away.
