I believe they would.  I returned a car in Port Canaveral this summer and the car rental shuttle was going to take too long, so I order Uber.  They picked us up by the street and took us to the cruise terminal.  I hope this helps.

They offered both paper and electronic on the Royal’s sister ship the Regal when we sailed on her.

We used lanyards when we were on the Regal two years ago. They just have to be punched in the correct location.

I have a son with food allergies to all diary and nuts. Princess has been the best cruise line for offering him a variety of choices to eat. He loves their gluten free breads. As others have written, make sure you contact Princess ASAP and put it in your personalizer. Make sure you talk to the MaitreD and head waiter. I even called Princess two days before our first cruise with him, when we sailed on the Regal in 2016 to ask a couple of questions while we were shopping at Wholefoods for him. The special dietary rep was awesome answering my questions.

I have upgraded at the pier a couple of times. When we want to upgrade, we make sure we arrive early between 9:30-10 and get near the front of the line. When we get to the counter we ask to upgrade and are sent to a supervisor. I am sure there are several post here on cc discussing strategies for upgrading at the pier.

I was booked on the Caribbean Princess last June and cancelled my booking and went on the Oasis of the Seas because of the problems on the CP. They changed the original ports we wanted to visit and moved all the ports closer together. They were definitely overpriced for what they were offering with all the problems CP is having.

We just stayed at the Residence Inn in Port Canaveral. Very nice hotel within a mile of the ship. Staying close to the port, made our first day on the ship stress free and relaxing. I highly recommend staying by the port.

Does anyone know the current rates for playing bingo on the Oasis? Any special deals during your cruises?

I second Hertz at the Crown Plaza. They have been great every time we have rented a car from them.

Does anyone have a picture of this year’s refillable drink tumbler?

Jay,

I have a 11 year old son with severe food too to all nuts and diary. We carry an Epi pen with us all the time. We sailed on the Allure of the Seas last July and had no problems. We are book in 3 months on the Oasis of the Seas.

I have a few suggestions for you. We also stopped at a Whole Foods before we sailed. First, Royal Caribbean does not offer diary free butter/margarine. I talked to special needs department and they advised me we could bring dairy free options onboard with us, such as Country Crock. We also took our own snacks for him. We kept the Country Crock in our cabin refrigerator. We would put some in a small glass and take it with us for his food.

As soon as we boarded, we visited the dining room because we had my time dining and made reservations at the same time every night. After the first night we felt comfortable with the waiter and head waiter. So, we requested the same staff every night because of my son’s food allergies and they were happy to meet our request. The head waiter brought my son the next day’s menu every night and modified as many items as he could to make his food safe. He would also take his breakfast and lunch orders if we wanted. If my son change his mind for lunch or breakfast and not want to eat at the MDR, they did not care. They even made diary and nut free deserts every night for him. The deserts were average and did not compare to our Princess cruise, but it was something special for him each night.

Anytime we went to the Windjammer, we advised them of his food allergies and asked for one of the chefs. They made sure he did not get cross contaminated food and advised us what was diary and nut free.

This summer will be our 4th cruise with him and the cruise lines have always taken his food allergies seriously. I believe they do a very good job accommodating people with food allergies. We feel very safe sailing with him.

I hope this helps,

Scott

Avis was great for us and had the best prices.

We like to stay at Embassy Suites when we cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale

I used the app on the Allure this past July and liked it. They also have computerized boards you can navigate outside the main restaurants on the 5th or 6th floor to see what events are going on that day, as well as a map.

I have rented from the Hertz at the Crown Plaza location and they are right across the street from the security check point. They are very easy to deal with and do not hassle you on anything. I highly recommend them

Hi all,

 

I've emailed native choice to ask about booking a group tour. And I'm just wondering if anyone here has done this and how you went about it.

 

 

 

We are sailing with at least 40 people as of now in feb 2018. I'm not sure how many would like to do the tour but I'm guessing at least 20, probably more.

 

 

 

IF you have booked a group like this before with them, did they give you a group booking # so each person could go and pay for their spot on native choices website? Or would one person need to book everyone and collect the monies from each person?

 

 

 

I'd like to book a group, but avoid having to collect from everyone myself if this helps :)

 

 

 

Thank you!!

We used Native Choice last year and did not have any problems in Costa Maya. It was an easy 10 minute ask from the pier and the guide was very knowledgeable. Our driver was not the fastest, but that was the individual, not the company.

We loved Duffy's too. This is a sports and family restaurant. The whole family loved the food and atmosphere

Does anyone know if the open air taxi's will take us from Havensight to Lindquist Beach and what the cost would be? I know the regular taxi's will charge $8-10 per person.

Thank you

Thank you for the replies

We are cruising to St. Thomas in a few weeks and I wanted to see if anyone knows if there is a discounted taxi rate for kids or are they full price?

Thank you

Thank you for the advice. I have been on six cruises before, but this will be our first on Disney. For those with the relax post, I do that on every cruise and enjoy being spoiled. I am looking for special or hidden gems that make sailing on Disney unique and different.

Thank you. We are sailing on the Fantasy on July 30th
