Do I have to pay for both adults for the beach beach? I know that may sound like a silly question.  I can't see spending $150 per adult and even more for my two kids if we are only using it some of the time. 

I am looking for recommendations for private transportation from Fort Lauderdale Airport to Port Everglades.  I will be traveling with my husband, 9 year old daughter and 3 year old son.  My issue is the 3 year old and car seat, as we are not bringing a car seat with us. I am afraid of ordering an Uber with a request of a car seat and it not being the right size or just not having one at all.  We are considering a limo just to avoid the need of a car seat all together.  We will have at least 4 pieces of luggage as well. I understand it is a short trip to the port I just want to find the least complicated option but I also don't want to pay $200 each way.  

Thank you in advance!!!

DW and I's first cruise together was on Carnival back in 2003. We found our room, entered, and discovered there was a sort-of gift basket with various Carnival swag but also some individual Tums packets. We thought what the hell is this for:confused: ?

Fastforward.

After a day drinking (and I do mean a day:rolleyes: ) at Carlos n Charlies in Cozumel we go back to the ship and just collapse. Slept past dinner. Woke up hunnnngry and decided it was time to eat so we decide midnight pizza. What could be better right? That hot, oily, spicy, pizza grease went to war in our stomachs. We soon figured out why someone might think antacid tabs were a good idea to place in a room.

Needless to say Tums are always near the top of the packing list:p .

On another note my DW and I always lose wait on cruises. We get to eat regularly and at normal times which speeds up or metabolism (we are in our 20s). Also we walk for about four hours in each port so we burn a lot too.

We were on the NCL Spirit two years ago and, except for The Bistro and the Shogun, the restaurants that you had to pay extra for, he food on that entire cruise ranged from horrible to just alright.....it was truly bad, I lost 5 pounds, which is actually a good thing....;)

 

Sushi on the Diamond Princess was not veyr good, it tasted like prerolled supermarket sushi but worse.....Other then that we LOVED the food on the Diamond Princess YUMO

Yup, us too with the NCL spirit. All the meals in the main dining rooms were bland and had zero visual appeal; just a piece of food on a white plate. Seriously, is that much more expensive to add a dash of color by some means to the presentation?

However the alternative (head charge) dining was top-notch with great presentation and excellent tasting food. We stopped cruising with NCL after that because we believe their formula had become:

If you want quality, then we'll gladly charge you extra on top of that $1,600 you already paid to get on the ship.

I apologize about the double. Sloooooow computer today.

I have to recommend Adrian McKinty's Dead I Well May Be. It's the coming of age tale about an Irish immigrant. You know, the usual boy kicked out of British Army, boy comes to the States, boy hired then betrayed by the Mob. Boy seeks revenge. A truly great read full of wit, suspense, and dark humor.
