In town or Puerta Maya?

 

What constitutes a “good” beach in your opinion? What facilities are important?

Just a nice clean beach with chair rental available. Anywhere within 1/2 hour of the cruise port and downtown (sailing Royal)

Going to Cozumel on Oasis of the Seas in a few weeks. We want to go to Pancho’s backyard for lunch (shopping at Cinco Soles first) and then some beach time after. What would be a good beach?  Seems all the “good” beaches are AI - and since we’d only be there a couple hours at best, not worth it. Alternative plan would be a short island tour. Suggestions?

Following, as my husband is also mobility impaired and we are trying to find out the same info!   

This is our first time purchasing the Key. 
 

it says to get to check in not later than 11:30 am for the included lunch. When we checked in online, the earliest check in slot was 12:30 pm.

does the Key check in override the online check in time?

I think you will find it difficult to find free cruise parking and a shuttle to Port Everglades.  You are most likely going to charged for one or the other or both.

 

In addition to www.sunny.org, a search on this board brings up these relevant threads:

https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2732776-fll-hotels-where-we-can-leave-our-car-while-we-cruise/

 

Thank you! I did check sunny.org and some other threads but a lot of the posts were older and I wasn’t sure if things had changed due to COVID.  
 

again, thanks for the additional leads, I’ll be sure to check them out.

Anyone?

Looking for a hotel tel with free cruise parking and shuttle to Cruise terminal for Celebrity cruise in March 2022.  Please suggest clean, safe affordable locations.

thanks!

In Miami the general wisdom as posted on this board is to park at the port. 

Thanks all. Glad to know this, we will park at POM.  As my dad always used to say-if it sounds too good to be true - it probably isn’t true!

Hi - recently moved to Florida - so new to parking at the ports here. 
what is the cost to park AT the port and is it super convenient? (We used to sail often from Capr Liberty in Bayonne which is literally steps from the terminal). 

Any recommendations on of site parking with shuttle? Saw an ad for “WePark in Miami” for ~$9/day. Anyone ever park there?

Sailing on Anthem in November and trying to figure out what we need to do as soon as we board. Here are some things I want to do - let me know if I’m missing anything!

In no particular order:

1. Check in at excursions desk to see if we can choose location of our cabana in the water park.

2. Try out the bumper cars!

3.  Ship tour.

4.  Sign up boys for kids club.

5. Lunch (May sign up for specialty lunch -still deciding). 

6. See if we can change our dining assignment (currently my time). 

7. Get an umbrella drink and start getting our money’s worth on the drink package lol.  

What do YOU do when first boarding the ship?  This is our first time sailing with kids and it’s their and their mom’s first cruise, so I don’t want to miss a thing for their sake!

We’ll be cruising for the first time with my grandsons, 10 & 6, in November on the Anthem.  How does it work with kids dining in specialty restaurants ? If they have an entree off the specialty menu, do they pay full price? Are there child friendly options ( chicken fingers etc)?

The 10 year old is adventurous and has a great appetite!   I could see him trying adult meals. The 6 year old - not so much lol

i want to pre-pay but not sure how it works.

Thanks in advance!

Can’t seem to find the search button on my iPad, so I’ll just ask.

do they now have Hard Seltzer on the ships (Anthem in particular). White Claw Mango is my new obsession and would love to have it on my cruise if possible.

Personalized door signs sound like a great idea! Where can those be found? Someone like Etsy?

I’m a crafty person so I make mine. Buy some cruising related stickers (look in the scrapbooking section of your craft store for really nice ones) and add their first names and city, state. 

Sadly, I’ve had generic ones (like magnets) stolen, so always put names and city/state on them somewhere. I’ve also found some cute items on Amazon like this porthole sticker!  I just used permanent marker and write our names in the “water”.

Battery operated candles, personalized door sign, hand sanitizer, sunblock, a waterproof beach bag, over the door shoe hanger. 

At BeachLimerz right now and very happy we made this choice. Beach is small and quiet. View is gorgeous. Food is OUTSTANDING and we were told it’s all you can eat (but the platter presented when we sat down was more than enough)!

Mel is so courteous and laid back. Will definitely come here again and highly recommend. 

Not a resort, but BeachLimerz is AMAZING!  Here right now and loving it. Small beach, EXCELLENT food and drink. Just beautiful.

All inclusive or pay as you go. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

i have a question,  you said all inclusive but from what i see on the site you only get 2 drinks or rum punch.  so sodas or virgin drinks are not included?

 

For the all inclusive, you get either 2 rum punch OR 2 Wadadli beers, AND 2 bottles of water is what I was told.  For other drink menu items, they are offered at a reduced cost for Day Pass visitors.

I'll be there in 2 weeks, and will take notes on everything and report back.  Can't wait!

I see on their website they open at 11am.  We’re you able to get on the beach earlier?

my DH is a real meat and potatoes kinda guy.  He doesn't try ANYTHING unusual or "weird".  But, he did try almost all the food at Wonderland and enjoyed everything.  

LOL just went to check mine, and it told me I'm "pre-gold" with zero points. I'm guessing a website error, because it has my cruises listed!

They say no but we always do and sometimes make sandwiches for the day, its up to you

Just because you do it, doesn't make it right. The rules are there for a reason. Don't encourage others to break them as well, just because you think you're so special you can disregard them.

If we just book the basic package (transportation, admission and chairs) does anyone know how costly the food is ala carte? thinking Pizza and drinks.

TIA

Does the 2nd bedroom have enough space for 2 adults? We had planned on sharing the cabin with my BFF and her husband, each of us splitting time in the 2nd bedroom and the main bedroom (5 days each on a 10 day cruise).

Will we feel cramped?
