We passed thinking it was over priced. Even more so when you have to pay for the wine pairing.

RCI has it covered.

Is there another driver's license option besides "Enhanced Driver's License?"

My bad, I need the birth certificate too.  

All good.  Thanks for the tip.

Hi, I'm trying to check in for an up coming cruise.

We typically just use our driving license for id.

For some reason the list of acceptable states that issue drivers licenses is limited to these  5.

There is no option to select Florida.

What am I doing wrong here. Don't typically have an issue.

I tried calling, hold time 180 mins, I don't think so RCI.

Thanks for any assistance

Ahh, just realized we don't have enhanced license in our state.. Answered my own question.

But, can't we use our license anymore for documentation? 

We often cruise with UK friends out of Florida ports mostly.

Does this mean they will now need a Visa to enter the US?

We have all previously visited Cuba, I think the Brits even vacationed there.

Ahhh I guess I did. plenty of previous discussion on the subject.

I've seen people order blue cheese stuffed olives in a martini before. But that was only after a gracious tip to get the bartender to stuff the olives.

Most bars serve these. I have to ask not to have cheese in my martini. 

You would have to pay me a good amount to drink that. It sounds disgusting, must be a joke.

Did you ever find out the answer to this question? I'm booked with Thrifty at the Hilo airport. 

There were no shuttles. We used cabs for our May 14 cruise to collect rentals from the airport.

It was no biggie, maybe $15 each way.

We parked at the Mall overnight. about 25 or so cars from the ship overnight.

They were all there in the morning.

We didn't have an issue at any of the ports. They all had free parking either on the street or in Malls near to the ports.

We rented from the airport.

Avis, it was an easy $15 cab ride each way.

We just returned. 

There was no issue renting a car in every port including the 4 day pre cruise trip.

Most rentals were from the closest airports. 

Only 1 port had a shuttle, rest of the time we used a taxi to collect and return the cars.

Parking overnight was available when we booked 2 days. we parked near to the ship.

We exclusively used the 'Shaka app' for guides. Excellent value, about $20 per tour.

If I was to go again we would do exactly the same.

Just returned.

We left our rental in the shopping mall near the port overnight,.

No issues at all, parked outside of the Wholefoods store. There were about 30 other cars from the ship there overnight.

About  a 10 min walk to the gangway.

Who did you go through? Or did you do it on your own? 

Drove up in a rental car. very easy. Nice drive down in the dark.

We just did the sunset. It was amazing. 
 

Well it’s worked out well so far.  
tomorrow is the last stop so we’ll update on the parking situation since there was no definitive answer. 

We're on the May 14th cruise too.

We have cars booked for each port and have the same questions.

It seems there are a few solutions in each port. Hopefully we don't have to hike back and forth to the airport.

If so, maybe we could share a ride back and forth.

I'm hearing wait times of 1 1/2 hours to be seated for dinner. Is this correct?

A prescription of xanax

Has anyone purchased the anniversary package before? 

It lists (1) Moet & Chandon Champagne as one of the items.

Can anyone tell me, is this a full sized bottle? 

We always bring 2 bottles of champagne, the real stuff not bubbly Californian. 

1 for the sail away in the Voyager lounge, or as high as we can get.

2nd for a special dinner in a steakhouse maybe.

We ask for 2 champagne flutes and an ice bucket, they mention the corkage charge but I can't recall ever paying it.

Usually tip the person helping with the ice ect.

Quest is fun until you go with your adult kids and your son rips off his pants while your daughters and DIL are able to take off their bras while wearing dresses. I didn't know whether to be mortified or impressed with their skills. I chose the latter.

It used to be fun, last couple we attended it seemed like most teams already had all the various items needed stuffed away in their handbags.   

They need to come up with a new format, style of adult game show.

It's in Coastal Kitchen unless that has changed for Covid.

 

Very noisy, I wouldn't book it

Ours was held here in Costal Kitchen too. I wasn't impressed. Right next to the bar, very noisy, people gawking at you. 

I was much happier on majesty in a private dining room off of the main restaurant. 

The one we attended on Allur was above one of the diamond lounges, again very noise until the free bar stopped then the guests all left.

Another thing to note, there used to be a discount if you were a non drinker. Maybe that's still on offer.

Please excuse my newb question.  
we’re off on POA May 14th (we hope) 

noticed a Romance, deluxe romance package. 
 

The price is $169 or $269. 
 

Is this per person or one charge per the package?  
 

thx
