Hi All

First cruise in December on Constellation and have a few questions if anyone can answer any of them it would be great.

1 As we are flying in from the UK, we arrive the day before and stay 1 night at a Celebrity nominated hotel in Miami or Fort Lauderdale (don't know where yet). Celebrity are arranging the transfers. Has anyone done this and what are your experiences. I have read that sometimes they cut it fine and there can be hundreds of people waiting with luggage for the buses to the port. Would it be better to get a cab to the port?

2 If the ship runs a cashless system, how does the casino work, do you still use cash in the machines or is there a token system?

3 We have booked cabin 6091 on the Penthouse deck - does anyone have any experience of this cabin or similar - any downsides that you can think of?

4 We have booked the late dining option - what happens if you decide to dine casual (I understand there is a $2 surcharge for casual dining) - do you have to inform the main dining room each day if you don't intend to eat there that night?

Thanks in advance for any info. I'm sure I will have loads of questions over the coming month's as it's a long way to go yet, and sorry if these questions have been asked a million times already.
