Hampton Inn Ybor City offers free shuttle to/from the port(approx 1 mile) and self park though not free but has park and stay rates.

 We stayed here a couple of weeks ago. Shuttle is very helpful and in walking distance to anywhere you'd like to go in Ybor City. Friends got park and cruise for $159/night.

It was not on the Miracle last week.

I'm a Salomon gal personally. Usually if you check the Steep & Cheap page of BackCountry.com, you can find them on sale for $40 - $60 instead of the $100+ price tag. 

Got some of these for our upcoming excursion at the REI Outlet

I would go to Ybor City and have a nice long lunch at Colombia.

Thanks, but we have dinner there the night before our cruise. It looks like it will be fantastic!

We just booked NCL star May 2020. Had a great itinerary! 

Our flight out of Tampa isn't until 4:30. We are spending the day before the cruise in Tampa, but any suggestions for killing a couple of hours. We will have our carry-on luggage with us. TIA!

Grand Turk. There is so much to see in San Juan.

We have booked the Hampton Inn Ybor City based on recommendations here and good review. They have a park and cruise package.

52 Days 19 hrs 21 mins til the Miracle!

When we were in Nassau a few years ago, we were going to take the taxi to Atlantis to check out their humidor, and our taxi driver had a box of Cubans with the stamp/seal that he sold us at a decent price. Now I know that we had no way to verify that they were legit, but our cigar lovers enjoyed them nonetheless, and it saved us the cab ride and high prices of Atlantis.

We were on the Conquest 5/31-6/8, and it was a great cruise! I thought the adult pool was plenty sufficient, and we always were able to find a place there. The ship is a good size, and the crew was outstanding. I would sail on her again tomorrow if i could.

We just did the 2nd cruise and loved it. St. Kitts was our favorite (My Island Tours by Javin!!) But having that extra day really was a big difference for some reason.

Great review, Joan. I'm the person who recognized you at tea! We really enjoyed our time on the Conquest.

We got off on 6/8 and they were doing maintenance on the thrusters.

Just off the Conquest and had a great cruise. You can also smoke in Vincents lounge which is very convenient to other activities on the promenade level. And there is so much shade with tables around the aft pool, and we never had an issue finding a spot.

We were in 8457 and were right under that area. I only heard chairs twice the entire time, but did notice that the the ships movements and vibrations were more pronounced.

Thank you!

You have to submit the raised seal birth certificate and they will send the documents back to you.

If you opt to send them without expedite, if you haven't received them within 3 weeks, call your congressional or senate office. They generally have folks that can contact the passport agency for you. Just give them at least a week to help you get it done.

I'm not a drinker, but occasionally I like to try something.

 

all drinks mentioned sounds good, but

 

what is "kiss on the lips"

 

whats in it?

 

thanks

To me it tastes like a frosty peach. So good!

Another vote for Kiss on the Lips.

Gorgeous photos!!

I am dieting now in preparation for my cruise in less than 6 weeks. I completely agree with your philosophy. Don't want to think about anything when I'm on that boat other than enjoying myself!

Flying back from FLL. Getting transportation before cruise from the hotel, just not sure what do to after. Thanks for responding.

Our flight isn't until 6:45 the evening after our cruise. Carnival's only option for an activity is an Everglades tour that looks poorly rated. Any ideas of things we can do for a few hours? We are a party of 6 with luggage, so I'm needing some help with any been there done that advice.

TIA!

Great review so far, and better late then never!
