    Question about booking Country Inn and Suites at the Port

    domiii, It wasn't NY pizza, but it wasn't bad. I'm also not a snob, but usually shy away from getting pizza (or bagels) outside the NY/NJ area. We did it for the convenience of not leaving the hotel.

    Question about booking Country Inn and Suites at the Port

    Domiii, Last time we stayed there at CI&S, the hotel staff recommend a pizza place that delivered. They even let our group use the breakfast area to eat. We just cleaned up after ourselves.

    Questions about shuttle from CI&S at port

    We stayed at CI&S in August and left our car there for the week. The shuttle service was great! When we checked in, we were able to make a reservation for the shuttle. Because we had booked the package that included parking, there was no additional charge for the shuttle. After the cruise, we...

    Use hotel shuttle or park at port?

    We did this 2 weeks ago and stayed at the Country Inn & Suites. We arrived early Friday (9am). They let us check in early and the kids spent the day at the pool. (There's also a hot tub and kiddie pool area.) They had a nice continental breakfast. The morning of the cruise, my husband dropped...

    Flying in a day early. Where to stay?

    We've stayed at the Country Inn & Suites for our last 2 cruises, including 2 weeks ago, and loved it. The hotel is beautiful, has a very good complimentary breakfast, and a shuttle to the port. I don't know what the regular rate is. We paid $138, but that included parking our car there for...

    We applied February 28 and received them March 20 - just about 3 weeks. We were never able to track them online - always said that our information wasn't in the system.

    St. John Snorkel Excursion Questions

    Oops! I forgot to mention that after the boat ride, there was a open air bus to take us to Trunk Bay. The driver made 3 stops for pictures along the way. I think we had about 2 1/2 hours at Trunk Bay before the trip back.

    St. John Snorkel Excursion Questions

    We did they St. John Trunk Bay Beach & Snorkel Tour thru DCL in October. We loved it! Since you've been to St. John you already know how beautiful it is. We opted to go with the DCL excursion because I was worried about travel time if we did it on our own. The boat to St. John left from right...

    Kennedy Space Center?

    We had no trouble with luggage, just left it all in the car. Since we were there so early, we were able to park very close. I don't know if there's a tram if you end up parking further away. Also, on the bus tour (which was great) they don't allow any food on the bus. We had bought snacks to eat...

    We spent the day we got off the ship at KSC. We were through customs by 7:45am, hubby took the Budget shuttle to pick up the rental, picked us and luggage up back at the port, and we were at KSC by 9am. We did the bus tour, the 3D movie, a simulator ride, and another walk through exibition all...

    How do you feel about the 2009 prices?

    We booked a "dummy" date (10/18/2008) while onboard in October, then moved the date to 8/15/2009. The '08 price was $5511 (2A, 3C in 2 cat. 8 cabins). Got the same cabins for '09 and the price was $6128. I expected there to be a price increase because August is more expensive than October...

    which disney(grand cayman) stingray excursion is best?

    We have never been to the Turtle Farm, but we did do Stingray City with Captain Marvins and had a great time. It was a small group on the boat - less than 15 people. We made 2 stops for snorkling before heading to Stingray City. My kids are still talking about that excursion 2 years later...

    Drop off at Terminal--please explain what DH can do to get in..

    Thanks mmouse37 and 2angels inheaven! :) I will probably check him in so he just needs to pick up his KTTW card. He doesn't deal well under pressure and isn't happy that he won't be arriving at port until about 2pm. It will be much less stressful for him if he just has to pick up a card! ;)
