We are hoping to be on the first sailing out on her July 1 from Rome. Hope to pack light, but will still need some laundry service. After all the cruises we've done, no over-packing anymore! But noted rkacruiser had 61 cruises! With a dozen, we are newbies!

For my CRUISE on July 1, GREECE is open--and the EU is moving that way. At THIS time, the issue is the stop in Ephesus--Turkey....   We are doing the HAL Greek Odyssey

WELL--they were happy to take my money for the JULY 1 sailing out of ITALY to Greece, Turkey, and ending in Venice! That was paid APRIL 1....!

My issue--I'm coming into Miami on Sun--return on THURSDAY--is what to do with the luggage. I looked at a bunch of tours and it seems almost all of them specifically state "we cannot carry luggage..."/etc.

We won't have a LOT, but we will have a couple of carry on sized bags. Someone mentioned a luggage drop. I need some more details on that.....

(I don't think RCCL has the feature of sending our luggage on to the airport for us--maybe if I bought the transportation package?)

THANKS!

I finally got some info on the private shuttles...

ISA you posted before I could! THURSDAY to MONDAY.

So, I'm thinking of looking into this--where do we drop the rental car off?

Pick-up is FLL. Do we drop at the Miami airport?

When I ran the rate on the National web site, I got a rate of $79.00. I've got some discounts to use, but what rate were you finding?

THANKS!

If this is possible, I'd like to do the same!

Great information here! Trying to wade through it--whew! We can get a much better rate coming into Ft. Lauderdale FLL airport. But our ship sails from Miami. Don't like flying on the day of the cruise, so we are coming in on Friday night. Ship sails on Saturday.

#1--Are their hotels that run shuttles from the airport to hotel then to cruise port?

#2--I've checked the shuttle info, looks like hollandlimo has a good rate from the airport that is $65 to the cruiseport. Taxis are $70. Any better options?

THANKS!
