They are not AT the port but will meet you there for delivery and pickup.  Make your reservation in advance.

Mike🙂

These folks are the best and will meet you with your bike.   https://www.eatonbikes.com/rental/

Absolutely!  You will not go hungry or thirsty on ACL and the food is so much better than the mega ships.

Mike🙂

I think you will be fine as there have always been mobility challenged people on each of my ACL cruises.  The crew is always ready to assist those needing help boarding and disembarking.

Mike😊

I can recommend without reservation The Bagatelle.   Just a few steps up Duval and I have not had a bad meal there in over 30 years.

Check out the menu to see if it meets  your needs.

Mike😊

Any good dining spots in Jekyll?  It has been years since I have been there.  TIA

Mike😊

Five Sixes Taxi will be your best bet 305-296-6666.

A few pics of my cabin.  As you can see it was quite roomy for a single.

I was on this cruise two years ago and it was nothing short of awesome.  Being able to spend the night anchored in Glacier Bay was an unexpected delight.  The Constellation left nothing to desire besides the spotty internet and of course cell service in remote Alaska is almost non-existent.   Flying in and out of Juneau was of great convenience; but don't expect much in the way of hotel accommodations there other than a clean room.  It was quite warm when I arrived only to find there was no AC, only fans loaned by the front desk.  Having been on 5 previous AK cruises this was by far my best experience.  The food was good, the drinks plentiful and the Constellation even has free washers/dryers for your use which came in handy during the 10 days.  My bed was very comfortable actually.

There is far more to this saga than the original poster has shared.

Since this is his first and only post on Cruise Critic I doubt that we will ever be privy to the whole story with ALL of the details.

Mike😊

Amazon US does not have the Sunsational products but offer a similar product Island Oasis which gets poor reviews.

Mike🙂

Given the current situation I don't think anyone can answer that question.  I would check with the cruiseline itself closer to sailing time.

Mike😊

Hi Marshhawk,

while I am not familiar with Five Sixes hourly rates I am sure they will be happy to answer your question.

Just give them a call at 305-296-6666.

mike😊

Yes you are correct.   All tables on my ACL cruises were for 6 or more.

For the freshest possible claws, go to Eaton Street Fish Market.  Likely fresher and less expensive than restaurants. 

I agree with the above Eaton Street is less expensive and fresher than restaurants.

Half Shell Raw Bar would be my second choice.

Mike😊

We also did this cruise but in reverse (Charleston to Jacksonsville).  Did a couple of days pre cruise in Charleston and had a terrific cruise.   We chose our route to end up closer to home.

Mike😊

Taking prepackaged snacks ashore is fine and there is no problem taking foodstuff back to the ship.

Mike😊

Harpoon Harry's 832 Caroline St has free wifi

Mike😀

Yes book your future cruise while onboard in order to receive the discount and then notify your TA after you get home and they can take over the booking without you losing the onboard discount.

We have done that several times with no problem and then got an additional discount from our agent on top of that.

I will be on Conquest Sept 21 2020 and it stops in Key West.   I remember once hearing that there are two ports in Key West..   and when I sailed on the Sensation many years ago, the port it stopped at in Key West was a military post/port so you could not get off the ship unless you had an excurssion booked..  you couldn't just get off and walk around..   For my upcoming cruise, how would I know which part of Key West it is going to port at?

You will dock at the Margaritaville pier B which is an easy walk off into town.

Mike😊

A good travel agent can also save you several hundred dollars as well.

Do yourself a favor and walk down Duval to Flamingo Crossing.  It is by far the best, homemade ice cream in town.  

 

If you don’t want to walk that far, Duetto’s on Greene Street has wonderful, house made gelato.  It’s up there with gelato I’ve had in Italy.  

keywester is exactly on point!   I wouldn't waste my time anywhere other than the two aforementioned places.

Mike

I agree with Ray.  Our cruises on ACL we have always had 6 to 8 top tables in the dining room.

 Are all these free alcoholic drinks standard ? Does that mean that non drinkers are helping to foot the bill or is there an optional fee one pays for the "free" booze?

Yes the evening cocktail hours are complimentary and included with your cruise.  American Cruise Line does not sell alcohol to its passengers.

Thanks for your in depth review.  I’m sure it will be helpful to future cruisers.
