Noticed this on the main board today.

So for our Platinum/Gold cruisers.....what was the check in time deal when you completed your forms?

Sorry I really can't help much since I am using DCL to get from AKL I just picked the 1:00-1:30 option since it did not matter and I did not want to take a early time from someone.

Yeah, we're kinda at the mercy of the hotel shuttle ourselves. I really wish they'd just give up this pick-a-time stuff if they don't plan on enforcing it. Its just annoying when you have no idea when you're gonna get there.

We're being magically transported to the port from Bay Lake Towers. I have no idea what time we'll be arriving. But from past experience, I know the bus never arrives at the hotel when they tell us it will be there and we have never gotten to the port before 1 pm. So I too will just pick a later arrival time.

I just realized that today it is 100 days before we leave for the airport! Tomorrow we will be in the double digits. I can't believe it is that close. I still have so much to do but part of me wants to pack right now and take off. We will be staying at MCO so we will be at the bus at the earliest possible time to check in and leave for port.

You can take a 10 minute water taxi ride from the cruise ship tier over to the philllipsburg pier for $4/person. It should be a short walk from there to the casinos. There is also Great Bay beach right there for those no interested in gambling and relaxing on the beach instead.

Thanks, that doesn't look too bad.

Thanks, that doesn't look too bad.

I never figured out just how long the walk was But we never got all the way down to the casino. We walked from the pier to the beach, and walked around on the walkway and it looked quite a ways down. We aren't gamblers though so it really wasn't a goal to get there. I think we walked halfway down and then turned back

Hello everyone. I haven't posted in a while. And am now trying to catch up. I just started reading up on everything again since it's been since 2009 that we cruised. So many options in St. Maarten/St. Martin and St. Thomas and St. John.

Would you go to St. Thomas or St. John? Have a great 4th! Gotta decorate DS's jeep up for the neighborhood parade.
