Update:

I received an email this morning from Chris and our tour is still on. Thanks!

Has anyone used Chris Jamaica recently? I emailed back and forth with him in March to plan a tour on July 11. He was always quick to reply and answered all my questions. I decided to email him on Friday to confirm the plans for the day and did not hear from him. I tried emailing yesterday as well, and still no response. My husband just tried calling one of the numbers on his website and he said a child answered then hung up on my husband. DH said he would try again tomorrow around lunchtime.

This is the port I was most excited about touring and now I am worried we will have no tour. I do not want to try to plan with another tour operator in case everything is ok with my original plans with Chris. Anyone seen or heard from him recently (within the last week or 2)?

Thanks!

Jillbur: I do believe they were delivering alcohol on Friday evening. In fact, I'm nearly certain that they were allowing guests who purchased alcohol in the duty free shop onboard Friday Evening actually just walk right out of the door with it. This was a bit later, maybe around 10:00 p.m. But I made a mental note of it because it was right before Quest lol.

 

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for all of your information!

Do you happen to know if we purchase alcohol in port when we are able to get it before disembarking? I'm hoping it'll be Friday night. I've look on their website but could not find the info.

Thanks :)

I am interested in this as well. I found a few resorts that are cheaper to book a room for the night than get day passes.

Please report back on this when you return. We are on the Divina in July and have this exact excursion booked. Thank you and have a great time!

Hope you have a great trip!

Can anyone tell me how cabin 9240 is on Davina? Thanks!

Sorry to hijack :)

Is there anywhere to find information on themed cruises? My family is taking our first MSC Divina cruise on July 9 and would love to know if it has a large group on board. Thanks!

Hi! We are new to MSC and are booked on the July 9, 2016 sailing. It will be myself, DH, DS13, and DS10. I have been reading about a lot of themed cruises. How do I know if our sailing is a themed cruise?

Also, I have searched and cannot find the answer for this either. How do I request a dining time? I looked online but cannot seem to find it on my booking. Do I call and request it?

Thanks! I'm sure I'll have more questions as time goes by.

I am not sure with booking with the ship. I know if you book with the ship you may pay a little more but you take the ferry right off the port. I emailed blue lagoon island about the dolphin excursion and they said since we were with royal we had to book through them for contract reasons. But I see a lot of people book through blue lagoon to save and don't say anything about being on a cruise. They didnt say anything to us about we could only stay there a certain amount of time. We were able to stay as long as we wanted just as long as we were back before the ship was gone. They have ferrys that go back and forth every few hours. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for the information. We watched some videos of the dolphin encounter & swim last night and now my 8 year old wants to do that lol. My 11 year old would rather go scuba diving, so maybe we will split up for part of the day.

Newbie here! Thanks so much for your review. We just booked this cruise (our first) for August. It'll be me, DH, and sons 11 & 8. We are pretty excited!

Your pictures were awesome! We are planning to go to the beach day at Blue Lagoon, but not sure if we should book with the ship or another excursion company. We'd like at least a few hours on the island. Do you happen to know how long you are at Blue Lagoon if you book with the ship?
