  1. We've done a search, but couldn't find specific info.

     

    We are interested in doing the Bacardi Factory tour--must do it on our own, Carnival, doesn't offer the tour.

     

    Are there any tour operators that include transportation to/from the cruise ship port where Carnival docks?

     

    We know about taxis, buses, and the water taxi, but looking for operators that specifically include the transportation in their package.

     

    Thanks!

  2. We've used Resort For A Day in the past and they are totally legit.

    As a matter of fact I had to cancel a booking during the pandemic and I received a refund to my credit card right away-no hassles.

     

    And-we went to Margaritaville last week--had a great day--lazy river is good as is the beach area. Not a bad walk from the dock.

    Yup, I totally agree. Exact same thing happened to us. Had a balance of $73.64 on it and received a gift card in that amount about 2 weeks after we got back home. And using it on our next cruise. I've heard talk of a way to get the refund back in cash by going to the casino, but I'm not ready for that.  👍

    I've cashed out in the casino on previous cruise-was always easy.

     

    This time I just figured I'd leave the balance on a gift card since I'm paying for a May cruise--worked out very well--I've made a payment today with the refunded gift card.

    Right - that's why I suggested adding a credit card to your account when you check-in online, so you don't have to rush to guest services right when you board the ship, to add the credit card.  Just wait until the middle of the cruise when the lines aren't long and add the gift card then.

    Excellent advice regarding not going right away!

    15 days left,  I’ll be there to test it out.  Just gonna wonder what the rental car is going to say or try to do something.  

     

    I pretty much prepared myself for this.  Got the pass, got my own rental car insurance,  will verify that the rental car transponder is CLOSED and tape it shuts. 

     

    What did I miss.........

     

    oh oh oh yeah gas money 

     

    what else ????

    I rented from Dollar and they said nothing.

     

    The people with the transponders are in the area of the car rental counters. It took less than 5 minutes to get it.

     

    The return boxes are near the crosswalk from the garage--looks like a mailbox and is easy to spot.

  6. Returned home from MCO yesterday.

     

    The whole process was so easy--from getting the transponder at the airport on the 11th, to returning it to a dropbox yesterday.

     

    My account shows all transactions, and I assume the charges are discounted as they claimed.

     

    From our standpoint, this program will be a huge win for visitors who rent cars in the area.

    hmmm ... SUNPASS website says this is the current policy for DOLLAR:

     

    $52.49 maximum weekly fee. PlatePass® All-Inclusive Tolling must be sold for the length of the rental contract. It cannot be purchased only on certain days. ... If not enrolled at time of reservation or at the rental counter, and user incurred toll charges by utilizing a dedicated or express lane, a $9.99 administrative fee + toll is assessed for each infraction to a maximum fee of $90.00. 

     

    And this new program says you pay for tolls ONLY . . . you may want to go here and read details (recommend the FAQ) https://visitortollpass.com/  but were it me ..... I'd be 'reserving' on this site right now!!!!!

     

    If you discover I missed something PLEASE come back and share . . . 

    Based upon what I'm seeing at the Dollar site, and all the other info available, I will save money by picking up a transponder tomorrow at MCO, and returning it at the end of our two week stay.

     

    I did sign up and have a confirmation #.

     

    Thanks for your help!
