You can wear your shoes if you wear matching socks and obey the sign that says all shirts must be buttoned properly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always think it's a good idea to go down the day before. The very 1st cruise I went on, with my Mom sailed from San Juan I think at 6 pm. We had an early flight from O'Hare to San Juan but it was delayed and several other problems once we landed. I remember her and I running down the dock to get to the ship. Pulled away from the dock as soon as we boarded. Luckily my Mom was a travel agent at that time and was able to contact someone so they didn't give us much static. From now on - I go a day early.

Good point, better be safe than REALLY sorry; dont have a TA in my pocket hehe. Is there a hotel RIGHT next to the port by any chance? That would be TOO convenient lol

 

[HappycamperGRF]

We like to stay at The Radisson at the Port the night before.

Ack and here my previous question was answered! It is at the port??

Hi George,
We used to travel by Disney Bus. Friendly atmosphere traveling with others going on the same cruise, and they play disney shorts or something like that on the monitors. For just two people, this is probably more cost effective.
Lately we have been renting a car at the airport and driving to Cocoa Beach the day prior. Several hotels there will let you leave your car at their hotel during the cruise. The car give us more flexibility for dinner and supply purchases. It also gives us a place to store stuff not going on the ship. At least one person on here said they do the same, but return the car during the cruise (I think from the terminal?). The hotels then use a private bus service to shuttle guests (for a fee) to the terminal.
As TiggerMeToo says, the ship leaves whether your flight gets cancelled or not. So I agree with Tigger, better to arrive early.

SOLD ! Arriving early, there will be four of us and I think we would be getting in the night before. If I can get right next to port I think there might be a service like you said to shuttle from hotel to port. Then again, buy some stuff from ABC is sooo much easier with a car! Decisions Decisions

I wanted to post the Victoria Room's menu per W@LL-E's request but I went to the instructions and it told me that I could upload an image (copy of menu in PDF format I scanned) by checking the manage attachments button under the message box but there is no button to click. So now how do I copy this PDF file unto the thread so I can make W@LL-E happy.

It's not as close as some of the others (only by a couple of blocks), but it's pretty close. It's a good deal...you can get a room for as little as $100 and they provide free parking during the cruise.

HI CHUCK!!! to the DISboards! Just be careful that you're not logged in under Vicki's account when you post.


If you open up a Photobucket account (free) and upload your picture to photobucket then copy the bottom (of four) links onto here, it should work that way.

Hi Chuck,

Plus, your post will add another tally for NY (and the northeast). It a very close race for first place.

It's nice to hear your words coming from a male sounding voice for a change.

Hi folks,

I can try to keep this updated as long as my scheudule permits, if you like.

I am geographically challenged. So, if I have your state placed in the wrong region, please let me know so I can change it.

Thanks

 

[TIGGERmetoo]

Thanks John - I think it's interesting.
