Love a road trip to a cruise!! We're flying for the first time in quite a while in a couple of weeks. Seeing your road trip makes me a little jealous 😉. Looking forward to the rest of your review!
I definitely will. I'm going to have my son video it. BTW, I'm not talking about little kids, the grandkids are teenagers. One asked to go on a cruise with us for his birthday. We are beyond excited.
We have 10:30 arriving time. The port shuttle from our hotel only has 2 runs, 9:30 and 1:30. My son is driving down from Orlando and there seems to be a lot of construction along the way so he wants to get a super early start. The plan is to do a geo cashe for the kids to follow and we'll be the the "treasure". We'll be in constant contact with DS via texts.
We have used Trip Advisor for many excursions in various ports. Just be mindful of the times of return to port. We always opt for very early start times with getting back to port a few hours before all aboard time. A lot of excursions guarantee timely return to port.
We're cruising with our son and his family. I'll be doing the platinum check in two days early. Our bookings are linked. He asked if I can check them in, too. I don't think so, but I told him I would check. Is this doable?
We haven't sailed out of Miami since turning platinum. Is there a separate waiting area? We will be sailing with my son and family and we are surprising the grandkids, they don't know we'll be sailing with them. We don't want them to see us before we board.
I've seen this on the menu but have never tried it. It looks really good. Can you tell them how you want the steak cooked? The above is just a touch rarer than I like.
I usually bring my own hair dryer, but we are flying this time and I'm trying to pack light. Does anyone know if the hairdryers on the Magic are the kind that you have to hold the button down for it to work?
After seeing the gold by the inch on several cruises, I broke down and bought a bracelet and charm for my granddaughter. What a POS. I don't remember how much I paid, but what ever I paid, it was too much.
Off topic, I attended a couple of tapings of Family Feud last month. Steve Harvey is hilarious. I sure wouldn't want to be the person to do the editing for airing. Sorry to highjack your post.
