  1. Is miami really expensive or just where I am. The only item on the menu under $10 at the Latin Cafe is a vegetable sandwich with onions and tomatoes. Yikes. Too early for a lot of onions and gotta meet people with onion breath. FOB here I come.
  2. No discounts. Not even solo. If I bid solo it's the bid X 2. Not dp340.
  3. Well I got directions to a coffee shop I'm going to try to walk to. I think the Cubans made the hotel coffee, the strongest I've had other than shots of coffee. Someone with a heavy hand. I wouldnt mind a breakfast sandwich. Woke up early and laid down again. Too early for me. Lol Got the port address for uber. I'm 30 minutes behind the others boarding 11 am. Most got 1030. I used dallas time to check in. Just missed 1030, oh well. I'm not in that much of a hurry. Time to get this show on the road.
  4. I cant find it listed on any of my cruises. Maybe only certain people got the offer or its pulled? I didnt look until tonight though as today I was busy flying to miami. I'd take it for the wifi. And the tour.
  5. Plantains on caribbean night. With red beans and rice.
  6. I noticed my hotel said check in after 1 pm. That's very early compared to normal texas hotels. So no complaints. I've also never ever had one of these and actually never been close to one. What are the handles for. Very wierd imo.
  7. I went over and asked. They wouldn't fly me out until 6 pm. I'd have to hang around the airport. Idk if its $525 future credit or cash. The time difference is miami is 1 hour later than texas time. So I lose a hour flying here. That airport in Miami so much walking. Hard to call my hotel when I got to the pick up area. About 1:30 Miami time. It was a pretty good offer.
  8. I'm in Miami at my hotel. Palm tree outside my window. Love it here. He gave me directions to mexican, fish and a coffee shop. Going out to look for a hearty meal. We got something resembling melba toast on the flight. Hooray! I'll catch up after food.
  9. My flight is completely booked. I saw last night you can bid on being bumped. Today screen shows $200 to $550 lowest bids first. We got stand bys wanting to board. Of course I'm a no thanks. American Airlines. No seats left.
  10. Me me me. Plane is on time. Boarding 8:16 am. Another hour. So far so good. Sun is finally up. As a guy near me said all we need is a airplane.
  11. I think he said margritaville in ft Lauderdale. My flight says on time. See ya all tomorrow. Leaving between 5:15 and 5:30. Dark.
  12. Yea I think I did better than I hoped by applying the solo discount in sept rather than waiting for dec. Glad I went ahead and got it. Prices have gone up.
  13. That's how I feel. Why prepay. I often have obc for part or most of my tips applied to the total.
  14. I pushed to 340 last year and booked 4 grandeur. Grandeur isnt a ship I would pick again, but I calculated b2b2b2b would get me there after my last sept b2b. Idk yet if I'd say it's worth pushing for pts, but my solo rates now look so much better. I would have hit it anyway in dec. Now I wouldnt, prices were much lower then.
  15. Checked in on American for my flight. Had to print twice. It defaulted to print with ads 2 pages. Grayed out button to print boarding pass with no ads. I'll be finding my hotel to park at dfw north entrance in the dark. Hopefully no wrong turns. Other than packing and i still havent picked up taxes they promised to have finished by today. .. I'm ready i think.
  16. Lol I thought you said you picked this week because it was Laura's birthday. I was wondering if there will be a special celebration onboard. Home, but havent started to pack. Tomorrow.
  17. I guess I wasnt clear. Yes they are mid ship on lower decks on almost every cruise ship. If the ship is rocking everyone will feel the motion. Less in the middle and lower. Think of a teter toter, and when it moves up and down. The ends get more motion. Higher also gets a bit more motion.
  18. Most ships I've sailed on have OVs lower than the balconies, deck 1 or 2 most likely. In case of storms they rarely put balconies on low decks. (Carnival cove balconys being a exception). Deck 1 or 2 OV I've had storm spray my windows.
  19. And when I'm on carnival for instance I miss my 5 free drinks and 2 days of wifi rcl gives me. I did cheers twice e but its wasted on me as I hardly drink. I like having the option of specialty coffee or fresh squeezed oj and maybe a drink or not. Dont use all 5 vouchers but it's nice having the option which other lines dont give me.
  20. Pre cruise you have to call to purchase the refreshment pkg for the other person. Idk about how onboard. High to me too. Wow.
