This IS the Florida Departures board, isn't it...?

I second the Hampton Inn Brickell. But watch their rates....I've seen it range from $187 to over $300. / night.

yes, we're just back actually. We did that each night....no problem. And, no complaints about the food!🤓

....ya.....mostly booked up.......🤷‍♂️

thanks folks!👍

We're on the Silhouette next week. We booked the Anytime Dining option. Just wondering, do you/ can you make MDR reservations for a set time in advance (when?), OR do you just show up when you want to eat, and hope they have room?🤷‍♂️

...how 'bout you have TWO drinks.....? would that make it better? you poor thing!🤦‍♂️😉

I'm looking for suggestions for nice, reasonably-priced restaurants near (walking distance) the Hampton Inn Brickell. Something above 'fast food' but not necessarily 'fine dining$'. ...basic-type menus...maybe Italian...or.. Mediterranean....or whatever.....🤷‍♂️

👍👍

👍 what time are cabins usually ready anyway? and, what's the going rate these days for tipping the porters??

🙁

we're on the Silhouette 4-day cruise next week. Is there anywhere to see the Main Dining Room menu(s) in advance?

gotcha. I suppose you could take it to your cabin, & just leave it outside the door, like they do....? No?

ya.....I tend not to buy seats when I book flights...cheapskate I pull the trigger at the 24-hour prior check in....always get seats together ... I like the old days....when the ticket ALSO included a seat! (this is Air Canada, BTW....other airlines might be different)🤷‍♂️ yes, I think I did it at the Guest Relations desk last time...

We're on a short cruise next month -Celebrity out of Miami. We'll probably have 1 medium-size suitcase OR 2 small ones between us. Do you HAVE TO hand your luggage over to the porters? Or can you lug it onboard yourself thru check-in etc. on your own?🤷‍♂️

we're on the Silhouette next month. we won't have any internet package, and no cell-phone (yes, some of us still survive like this!). Does the ship allow any access to 'free internet', or whatever, for people like us to get online onboard to complete our 24-hour in advance airline check-in? Its been a while since we've cruised but I do re-call it was do-able before....not sure which cruise line. Anyone?

aw, shucks...We booked The Hampton Inn Brickell....Not good??

I hope so....can others confirm this?

we're on the Silhouette 4-nighter next month. I selected Dining Anytime. just went on da app to make a reservation in DR for 1st night....earliest time. slot available is 8:30....!? we'd like to eat a little earlier than 8:30. Problem?

did they ever...?....hic!....

🤦‍♂️

👍🤫👍

do they have a way of knowing if you ACTUALLY DID watch the video?

....soooo.....no more of everyone "mustering" all at same time....? I sooooo enjoyed that!! 🤪😈🤪

we're old-school dinosaurs. Don't do "apps" very well... Other than perhaps time-saving, is there/ are there advantages to doing your check-in on the app thingy vs doing it the old-fashioned way with passports & paper in hand? also, re Musters. Do you now just have to "stop by" your Muster station some time after you board? as opposed to the old way of everyone gathering when the alarm sounds?🤷‍♂️
