Just checked google maps....Is there a safe place to walk between these terminals? Looks like just driving lanes.

So glad to read this..Figured we'd start our drive from Naples at 9 AM or so. Arriving on a Wednesday - 3 ships in port. Depending on traffic I don't think we'd arrive early enough to want to go to Bayside via shuttle and back to the ship. This place is a great alternative to waiting in the sun or in our car.

Saw something about Seaman Cafe which is located as you come out of the tunnel and is walkable from VV (IF THEY ARE OPEN). Thought it would be a good place to hang out if we arrive too late to head to Bayside and too early to get on line. Has anyone been there? Not sure if it is open though. Not much recent info about it.

Thanks for the tip....Unfortunately although we've cruised many, many times over the years, we varied our cruiselines so never was able to get to the higher level.

I just added the extra $300 plus $50 onto my bar tab. Could not do on app, but did it on computer. Took a screenshot of this info to keep. Question: When I registered my husband and I for the cruise I filled in the same credit card information for both of us. Now that all the monies are showing under me, can he still use his band to charge things against this same account?

I decided to call and was told that the app said $25, but their computer shows there are 2 people on the reservation so it totals $50

If I go to casino and want to use my loot there, do they take the 7%?

Someone who boarded the current SL cruise posted a pic showing a crazy amount of people at the aft bar during PJ Party along with this info: Aft bar open tonight for the PJ party. Waited forever and wasted so much time waiting to be served. Others complained that getting drinks at the bars during the day really slow. Is there a link to hours bars are open?

My TA sent me an email saying that he gave me $50 more in loot for my upcoming cruise. I went to Add On section of VV app and it says $25. I wrote my TA and he said he has his receipt for $50, but not to worry this will automatically come into the app within a day of boarding. If not, I can go to Sailor Services to get. Should I call them now or just wait to see if this happens?

We are planning to come down from Naples taking 75 to 95 to 595 to 395...Was 95 packed after intersecttion of 75? Dread Miami traffic.

Pulling out all items for our upcoming cruise. Can't find travel alarm clock. I like to turn over to go back to sleep if I wake up in the wee hours of the morning and see the time. Don't want to check my phone for it. Are there any clocks in a Seaview Cabin that I can easily check?

I see you have cruised often on other lines as have my husband and I. My first VV trip is coming up soon and it sounds like lots of fun. That being said, I'm a morning person and am hoping I can stay up to enjoy some of the nightlife. We love to dance (and drink!) and are sure VV will be for us because of that. Will try to nap during the day a bit which I never do on other cruises. In the past we cruised mostly for the ports, early off the ship, on private excursions most of the days, and were sleeping by 11 pm latest. Got to a think cruising was over for us since cruising the same cruiselines became repetitive. This cruise will be more about the nightllife for us. Considering your cruising experience, do you want to stick w/VV and use other cruiselines more for visiting other places?

Jumping onboard also...Love your posts

How was bar service throughout the ship?

Hoping to have one of these on our cruise on SL June 9th!

Thanks Sid...I'm on my PC this morning so will check there...If not, get you on my mobile later today!

Sid, or any recent cruisers.... Have you experienced extremely slow drink service at the bars and restaurants recently? I'm a bit nervous after reading some pretty awful reviews about that. Putting another $300 on my current $300 bar tab to get the extra $50 which my husband and I normally would have no problem using, but wondering if we'll be stuck with bar tab money being lost at end of cruise. Thinking service would be better if we used the bartenders you recommended Sid! I think someone said you could buy wine from the bars if you have extra bar credit the night before you disembark. Is that correct?

Do all of these appear when you board so they can be booked?

We have 3 ships that day which sounds like nothing, but still many passengers.

Do most people dress up in their "Scarlet Night" red outfits for dinner so many restaurants look "all red", or dress up before the 9PM festivities start on the ship? Planning outfits and trying to eliminate as much as possible.

I have nightmares about Miami traffic! We will be driving down from Naples and were told the best way to Terminal G is as shown in the map.....I read that traffic has been a nightmare getting into port itself. Would we be better off driving to Bayside Marketplace and driving over to Parking Lot G on Port Blvd?

Feel better after reading your post and will head for outside deck!

So the Moet was bought at the bars? Really going to go over the drink amounts later to be sure...As you said, we don't want to get in a situation where we have leftover bar tab monies. Also considering time off the ship in Puerto Plata.
