You're definitely not being annoying. Believe me, I, along with a lot of posters (I am sure) would love to be in your shoes right now.

I would do it at the very latest 7:00 am but I'd try for earlier. You can go on and check in with Express Airline Check-in (I think they open at 5:00 am, but I could be wrong). You should be able to do express check out with your room if you have placed a credit card on your account, so no need to go by the desk to do that. From there, I'd walk over to Aruba, catch a bus to MK and head into MK for ADR at CP.

thank you!!

I'm so excited for your trip coming up I can't stand myself!

This will be my first trip to CBR so I have a question.... on our last day we were just going to stay at CBR and swim before our flight (8pm) we have done this before at POP but I'm wondering are there any showers near the pool like at POP? I like to shower and change after a swim and we will have to check out before we are ready to leave with such a late flight!

There is a bath house right at the pool with showers, restrooms, and I think lockers. Check out post #2 on this thread, you'll find all the info you are looking for. You should be fine.

I hope that CBR to have the Family Suites like All-Star Music!

We are down to 18 days!!

Questions:

1. can you buy wine or beer in the market?

2. Using ME. Flight lands at 8:05pm - does than mean my luggage won't come until 11:00 pm?

3. What all do you pack in your carry-on (we are flying) ? I was thinking bathing suits, PJs and toothbrushes.

Thanks guys - first time staying on property in over 20 years and won't be renting a car - first time doing that. I want to be prepared.

bring a change of clothes too

I hope that CBR to have the Family Suites like All-Star Music!

So since we are staying in a Pirate room I did not make any requests. I know they are all in Trinidad. Is there any building that is better than the others that maybe I should request?

14 days to go!

There are no suites at the CBR. There are pirate themed rooms in Trinidad South and all others are Nemo themed. All rooms are 340 square feet.

I did a quick search, but couldn't find an answer.

Can you fit a rollaway in a king room at CBR? We're thinking of going for DD's 3rd birthday in August and checking in when she's still 2, so we should still be able to have a king room with a rollaway bed, right? I just think she might be too big for a Pack and Play by then and want to be able to go the rollaway with bed rail route.

Any chance someone has a photo of a CBR king room with a rollaway in it?

Hi Everyone - We are thinking of switching our reservations from POFQ to CBR b/c I've read how so many families love the resort. We love POFQ, but have stayed there the last two times and thought it would be nice to try someplace we haven't stayed before.

I have some questions I hope you can help me with.

Is there a certain building or area I should request? I read one post where someone mentioned paying for *preferred*. What does that mean and how much more is it?

One thing I am worried about is the size of CBR. How far are most rooms from the restaurants/pool/bus stops?

I'm sure I'll have more questions, but wanted to start with these. Thanks so much for any help/advice. My oldest son saw the photos of the pirate pool area and is begging to stay there now.
