We're trying to decide if it might be worth it when we're on the Reflection in September for our 30th anniversary. Also, if anyone has done it, do you think it's worth it? Thank you in advance! Lisa I’ll ask later today 👍🏼 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Reflection in November and are booked for July 2919 to Scandinavia, and March 2020 Caribbean as well. As a non US citizen I’d be interested to have you post about disembarkation in Port Everglades when that sad day arrives. I have read several reports of chaos for non US citizens, even for the walk off crowd. Thanks for taking us along. I sure will, I do have global entry but may still get stuck in line as Julie doesn’t have any priority entry, saying that we will be getting a nexus card for Julie when we get back to Canada so we’ll be good to go from the next trip 👍🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_T Posted March 15, 2019 Author #230 Share Posted March 15, 2019 So we got back from our tour around an hour ago, I must say it’s a very interesting city and full of culture, bright colours & plenty of interesting people watching opportunities, Tour details - Tour company - Tour in Cartagena Tour name - Highlights in Cartagena website - http://www.tourincartagena.com/ Tour Guild/Owner - Marelvy Peña-Hall Tour Legnth - a little over 4 hours Tour Price - $65pp for a party of 10 Tour Transport - we had a 22+ seats van with A/C and was very comfortable Review - As neither of us have been to Cartagena before we opted for this tour as it soundered interesting and the tour guild had good reviews, we really didn’t have any info of the country or city so wanted to get a bit of knowledge from a local, Marelvy is from Cartagena so who better to have as a guild, We started off with being driven up to a high view point for panoramic views over the city & port, and from there we drove around stopping at various points of the city where we got out of the van for a short walk around where Marelvy pointed out historical sites/info points and stuff of interest, throughout the tour I must say Marelvy was very interesting and had all the answers to any questions we had thought the tour the tour ended back at the port, however the port it’s self is very interesting as they have Parrots/Monkeys/Ant eaters & Peacocks... maybe others as we could have missed something, Below are a few pictures from the tour of various stops around the city, Any questions please let me know 👍🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also gives you TSA pre check. Good for 5 years. I have a Nexus card. Have never seen a separate line for this at the port, only the airport. This change I’ve read of is quite recent, as we cruised in November in Reflection and were fine. Since then and perhaps related to the shutdown, I’ve heard all US citizens are off first. Everyone else waits So I’ll be interested in Mr Ts input. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_T Posted March 15, 2019 Author #236 Share Posted March 15, 2019 So we are now stitting up on the lawn listening to Charlotte (solo artist from wales) enjoying a glass of bubbles before dinner @ the lawn club grill 😎🥂😋 I’d say the live music on the ship has been very good 👍🏼 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love following your blogs. We won't be on the Reflection till October for our first B2B Lisbon to Ft. Lauderdale. Right now we are getting ready for our SA cruise next week on the Eclipse. I am pretty sure we met you guys on the Eclipse from Southampton in 2011 ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welland Posted March 16, 2019 #239 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Mr. T: do you think you could find out if any of the Senior Officers will change at the end of the month. Wondering who the Captain, HD and GRM will be. Any info you can obtain would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a separate Global Entry line (no kiosk) where we showed our nexus card and passport to the officer. Believe the same for Fort Lauderdale. Mr.T will confirm.

MR_T Posted March 16, 2019 Author #243 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi All, So tonight we ate at The Lawn Club Grill and I must say it was very good, we both really enjoyed what we had and finished every last tasty bite from the flat bread to the apple crumble 😋, between the 2 of us we had a flat bread, the fillet minion, chicken kebab, shrimp & scallop kebab, vegetable kebab & lamb cutlets and everything was cooked perfectly as we requested, and of course I had the apple crumble to finish up 🐷😋😂 We also had a great waiter to top the night off! This place is always our favourites place onboard and we are looking forward to spending our last evening there, We’d definitely recommend this place for anyone looking at the specialities 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll try to have a sneak peek when it’s quiet outside 😜 I’ll also ask the cabin dude/dudess when I see them.
