Here’s the schedule as probably the best source of info: https://www.viport.com/schedule-seaports

Well- if its bogo or 50%?off, how would it work with drinks above $11, under both the “over $11, you pay full price” and the”over $11, pay the difference” scenarios? and can I choose to actually pay for a drink oop with HIA? I’d rather buy a $2.50 cup of coffee than an $11 drink oop.

Hal usually docks at Crown Bay.

Coconuts is about 8 to 10 minutes past the 17th street bridge over the intracoastal, for reference.,

15th street fisheries dockside, right on the Intercoastal. It’s one canal north of the Hilton on 17th street (go by land, it’s nicer than swimming it. We used to go so as kids).

It’s your body, and your responsibility. If you want to bear the risk of losing funds, you’re welcome to not buy insurance. Some people may choose that option- we’ve done so on occasion when we were willing to bear the risk, such as super cheap fare ($379- not HAL) and insurance was $229 per person.

You’re not awarded points until after the cruise you are on has completed. Since you didn’t complete a single night on the cruise, I would not expect that you end up with any nights added.

Not that I recall. HAL is a Coca-Cola customer

As long as everyone in the vehicle has government-issued photo ID and there’s af least one person with documentation. As to why the vehicle is entering the port (ticket, pickup info, or being a taxi), it’s not usually an issue. Happy sailing!

You can mix sushi into you Tamarind menu and/or your party can be partial Nami and partial Tamarind. There is overlap in the Nami menu. Unfortunately, not everything in the Tamarind menu is in the Nami menu. I am a fan of the Thai beef salad on the Tamarind appetizer menu. I haven’t found anything I have t liked as far as appetizers or entres on the Tamarind menu. We do often eat Asian or Asian-influenced meals probably 3 times a week or so, whether aboard ship or otherwise.

Very, very limited and almost always vegetarian. For a much better set of options, consider Nami sushi for dinner. It’s part of Tamarind. steve

Getting to the Episcopal church can be a little time-consuming from the Hard Rock. The church is on the north side of the river. The best route fro the Hard Rock is probably up 95 to Broward Boulevard, east to SE 15th Avenue,, and turn right and cross Las Olas. On the south side of the river, a good target is Smokers park, above the New River tunnel.

One of the “misses” on the ship is the lack of capacity to use the Billboard lounge TVs for anything but Billboard’s trivia. The screens are all networked, but they didn’t set it up where there is a connection to the satellite feed. Had they done that, the room could easily be a sports bar on the night(s) the dueling pianos are dark.

It’s a bit of a hike- a couple of hour drive. One alternative, not from my friend, (I haven’t heard from her) is the train. see https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g32655-i2013-k3270640-San_Diego_to_San_Pedro_Cruise_Terminal-Los_Angeles_California.html I figure since TripAdvisor is CC’s parent, it’s an OK link.

Hotels on 17th street or near Las Olas or in Dania Beach are not far from Port Everglades. Maybe 15 minutes in a cab for Las Olas and Dania Beach. 6 minutes for 17th street.

By Friday, the storm will be in North Carolina. See https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/025739.shtml?mltoa34#contents.

I’ve asked a friend who lives in San Diego and is a full-time wheelchair user for suggestions. She goes to Disney fairly often, so has good knowledge of transportation options. She’s online quite a bit, so it shouldn’t be too long, if she has any leads.

At the port? Yes. In the passenger cruise terminal? Probably not, since those spaces are not generally occupied. There is one a few blocks away.

Your cruise line should be able to tell you where you are docking.

You want to look at the schedule for Port Everglades. If there are 5 or more ships in port, the airport will be especially busy. While it is unusual to have delays, they can happen, so plan accordingly.

Not an unusual activity at all. There would be plenty of time to go to the Shark Valley area or Everglades Holiday Park and go out on an airboat.

I just voted with my feet. I cancelled my $ reservation for Pinnacle and made one for Tamarind. The changes in the menu and the pricing policy made it an easy call.

But it’s ongoing fine diming! (Look closely). 🙂

A foldable wheelchair will fit, folded, in most, if not all, cabins, however may need to be folded to get in and out the doorway. Power wheelchairs and scooters thar do not fold may not be able to get in the door or around furniture in a typical stateroom. You would need to book an accessible stateroom. These are few and far between and are not likely available at the last minute. Accessibility on most ships is pretty good. Ports can vary significantly in how accessible they are. Many excursions use large passenger busses that have several steps to climb up and do not generally have wheelchair lifts, although most will allow you to store a wheelchair underneath the passenger seating in a storage compartment.

This is a bad decision by HAL, especially given the lack of complexity (and comparatively low cost) of many of the apps. I’d imagine most of the apps cost less than mains. A double shrimp cocktail is less expensive than a shrimp cocktail, a filet, and the accoutrements. Not to mention, of course, that it’s unlikely one is going to have a meal in the MDR and then again in the PG (or vice-versa).
