    Perhaps a shared shuttle to the port instead of an Uber. Try Cruise Control or Go Port.

    Yes there is a parking lot full of Taxi's at Sunset Bar & Grill that will gladly take you either back to the taxi stand or drop you off in town which is what we do and then water taxi back to the port. All the taxi's are shuttle bus type that easily have fit our group of 6-8.

    We saw an area sat up by the terminal entry doors for this which was just across from the door to a public restroom.

    Not free...I believe it went from $2.00 per room reservation to now $5.00 per room reservation. They offer a hotel to PE shuttle for around $10.00+ pp...check directly with the hotel for current rate.

    I don't believe it's ever been free. Has been $2.00 per room reservation (for many years) and I'm pretty sure it's $5.00 per room reservation recently. But do check directly with the hotel if it's even being offered now at all.

    I believe it's actually "permanently" closed now. It was horrible last time we ate there.

    Agree that you got a great rate. For us the stay at Banks is just part of our cruise vacation and so willing to pay a bit more. Best of luck with whatever works best for you.

    We love Portland, ME and looking forward to our port stop again this October. It's an easy DIY docking right next to the city center easily walkable. Becky's Diner is popular for a lobster roll but also check out Holy Donuts...they'll be a line.

    We booked the Banks Mansion for July 2024 (cancelable of course) when their schedule came out. We've stayed there before and loved the all inclusive and the location. Sounds like you have a great rate...enjoy.

    We did the last RCI cruise of the season this past September roundtrip Vancouver. We had one day of mild rain day in Ketchikan otherwise it was fine. Of course mid to late May (north bound) is our favorite month/time but when taking the whole extended family September just worked for us.

    No we did not cause of having two large bags etc. We took a taxi and sorry I can't recall the price....but it was not a big deal. These hotels are in the upper area and it would have required to take the funicular so not worth it to us.

    When I read "nice" didn't seem it was a make or break need so I gave them an option...Nothing wrong with that.😉

    Price was less at the Blue Lagoon, they have a shuttle from MIA and the Publix area across the street works for us on this trip. I don't need to see the ships morning of cruise...I'm busy having breakfast and getting ready to checkout and be on my way.
  14. Ashland
    Agree...not unusual at all.

    Try booking Hyatt Place with ValueTrips when the schedule opens end of October for 2024. It sits just behind the ES and has better reviews (ES is old/tired). It's next door to the Harbor shopping area that has stores, restaurants and a Publix market.

    I opted for the Hampton Blue Lagoon for our one night pre cruise in Feb 2024 instead of the Hampton Brickell. I also booked it for our extended family for May 2024 another one nighter.

    And if by chance their not just get tags at the port and write your new cabin number on them yourself.....Congrats !!
  18. Ashland
    Perhaps it's because of the change in conjunction with the limited cabin service for some categories.

    So glad our Oct 2023 (Liberty) cruise is still porting in Bar Harbor.

    Hotel Clarendon is a great location as is Place d' Armas where we stayed pre-cruise.
  22. Ashland
    We book when the schedule opens. Some good pricing on our 2023, 2024 and 2025. Just waiting for the rest of 2025 to open.
  23. Ashland
    Lemon Drop, Chocolate Martini, Bushwacker are good ones to try.

    We did an amazing tour with our roll call group at Puntarenus Oct 2022. Used "Thumbs Up Tours".
  25. Ashland
    We easily (Oct 2022) took a taxi from the port to just outside the entrance to the Walled City and did the same when we returned. Easy to do.
