We normally get off the ship, because:
Everything is closed, the pools are either cleaned or drained.
We usually take all our dirty laundry off the ship and throw it into
our car ( at port ) we live in S florida so we usually drive up.
We do a wine or beer run along with a Starbucks latte break.
( The coffee on the ship is not the greatest). We can get our new keys at guest services before disembarking( we have new keys even if in the same room. But at port we still have to wait online along with everyone else.
If I book ahead of time I get the same room, but this time
since I booked 30 days out we have to switch. Luckily I was able
to get a Nav Ver and a Reg Ver. ( I perfer the Nav Ver since its
enclosed )
I never noticed but I will assume they charge port taxes twice since it is 2 separate cruises.
The CMs are always surprised to see us again, since we never tell people we are coming back on. They want to know if we are
trying to catch up with Barb's #29 Trip. ( I wish )
Any other questions, let me know. I have traveled with kids and without.
