Also, I recall reading about a year ago, a newlywed couple rented a scooter in Coz. They were hit less than a mile from the port, 1 died at the scene and the other later at the hospital. It was the beginning of April last year.

It is Budget. You didnt miss it sir, I did..... :confused:

I need some direction from some folks experienced with Port Canaveral and returning rental cars. We sail 4-29 on Carny Magic. We have a rental car to return that morning. The current plan is to drop my people and luggage at ye olde port then return car and hop on their shuttle. I am looking to accomplish this somewhere in the 1030-1130 window. We have 11-1130 check-in. Just to give complete information, i checked out Goog maps/earth and guesstimated approx 10 walk from car rental to port area but unsure if that is a valid option/fallback. Thanks errr-biddy.

We sail the end of April and I'm super excited to see all the horribly-abused-and-damaged veteran cruisers that will be throwing hissy-fits because *DUN DUN DUN* NO TABLECOTHS...... OOHHHH THE HUMANITY!!! There will hopefully be a big group sitting outside the Bridge holding their breathes until the Captain brings out his private stash of table-clothing. Naked tables.... sheesh....

oh and after last years cruise with American Table menu, I am super excited to try the new port dishes. As someone that grew up in food service their food is good quality. I would truly LOVE to see the nasty slop these "foodies" shovel down their talk-holes when they are on land. I'm sure they arent eating at gourmet restaurants daily. Are there a small amount of problems in the MDR, yes. But I havent heard of anyone dying on a Carnival cruise because they couldnt find anything to eat. *drops mic* :*

I have a feeling that getting a "big sealed bag of pipe tobacco" onto the ship would be significantly easier than the explanation when you debark.

Customs: Sir, step out of line please.

Guy: It's legal, for my pipe! D'OH! I mean it's not the devils lettuce!

Customs: (you hear the glove snap) Sir, bend ov-ah please. :eek:

This may or not be how this plays out. But I am definitely interested to find out. :cool:

I would have just given them their space. It doesn't bother me. I feel we have bigger issues in this world than marijuana. Its becoming more decriminalized nationwide d/t the heavier drugs taking precedence. In fact, MANY of the islands and ports we all visit during a cruise grows, sells and distributes.

 

What concerns me more are the prostitutes and their **** that were on the Breakaway out of NYC cruising with us in February. Take a moment to let that set in... :o

That's funny, although I am really struggling to figure out what four letter word you hid. There was an 80's pirate movie, Yellowbeard, that had a woman with a moustache drawn on her face and they called her Capt Prostitute.

Maybe you should just go up to the bar every night at about midnight and start drinking. Then make sure every one else keeps the noise down. Then by like 430 - 5am it should be good for you to get some rest :halo:

It was the harbor pilot, he was late. He put Routan in his GPS instead of Roatan..... pilot got mis-roated....... see what i did there.....;p

We have a spa balcony on the Magic the end of April, if no robe I will request one. I am one that does wear it out and about in the mornings, heaven forbid i am comfortable when acquiring a breakfast burrito. But i may just bring my Dr Strange robe I got when the movie came out, just in case.....:*

La Romana looks like we are going to spend some $ on a good excursion to get much out of that day. I was excited about going to the DR until i did my research on that port.

We walked outside the fence, took a right. Ticket booth had bus tickets, $7pp to the little recreated village. It was a short ride. It was basically a side thing to a big golf resort. A couple restaurants, a cigar store and a few others. The customary locals in costume, costs $1 for them to pose with you. It was an ok thing. My parents took a bus into town and said the vendors were really pushy and was not a good experience. But again YMMV.

We did the Southern last year. Want to do the Eastern next year. La Romana is kind of the weak link. But we want to go back to Aruba.

Take half as many clothes. Take more money than you think you will need. Spend $20 in the casino to remind yourself why you dont gamble. Join in a Lido game, join a line dance. Get up early and watch a sunrise. Find the "wind tunnel" door at the front of the ship and take silly pictures! (Our 1st cruise on the Paradise we spent probably 20 min every morning doing dumb stuff at those doors!) And HAVE FUN and TRY NEW THINGS! :cool:

We stayed there last April. It was a nice hotel. We've been staying in Spring Hill's when traveling lately, they've all been excellent! Edge of a neighborhood but a very convenient location to interstates, right at an exit. Prob 10 min or less to port. Everyone was super polite and helpful. Not really walkable to shopping so you have to drive anywhere.

We are booked on our Magic sailing 4-29. We booked last summer before the price increased, i am taking my confirmation email to make sure. So if you booked before the price increase just take your email.

I was really disappointed on our last cruise when it wasnt on the menu. I did get it on the buffet but, you know 'Murica. I heard someone talking that they just written it in. Well, we are sailing at the end of April so I will follow-up when I return.

It may be time to pick-up some of the new Bacon-Runners i saw on Amazon..... need to stop smuggling booze and plums:D and start smuggling BACON!!

Warning, Belize is not safe. I died there, twice.

7 more to go meow.

I want a stretch Camaro having a nice scrotch on the rocks waiting for me lol.

We sail from PC in April, I'm not interested in the Camaro but I'm always looking for a good scrotch on my rocks, let me know what us know what you find! :D

Im going to book that little 2 day run. It will be a nice little getaway! And a nice way to ease onto a new ship :cool:

There is usually no one in the library. It's near the front entrance to the 2nd level of the MDR, on 4 i believe.

Hey there all! We will be in Coz in a couple months and want to do an all over the island day. We rented a car last time but I'm thinking it would be easier to have a driver. There will be at least 5, possibly up to 9. Any recommendations would be appreciated! TIA!!

Good afternoon, I want to take a survey. We will be on Carnival Magic in April with a stop in Belize. We want to do Altun Ha and have seen some good reviews for Reg's tours. So my questions are: Has anyone had any issues with returning "close" to all-aboard? Basically, we want to do some ruins without all the extra upselling and wasting time. Still a little apprehensive about doing an non-ship excursion so far from port. Also, any other recommendations are appreciated.

We did this itinerary in April, here's my take: La Romana, we walked outside the port fence and got $7 bus tickets to go to the ye olde tymes village with the ampitheater. My parents took a bus into town and they said it was not very good, like they didnt stay very long. Curacao, we took a Carnival excursion that was a tour that went to liquor "factory" then we got a couple hours at a beach. It was an ok tour. Aruba, that was our fave!! We rented a little car just passed the bus circle outside the port. It was like $45 for the day. We drove all over the island!! Stopped at a beach for a couple hours, it was great!! We also walked around some stores by the port after we returned the car, never felt unsafe. I wish we would have walked down to the moving bridge in Curacao. Our dd is 12 for reference. Hope you have fun!!

Lowes is the only store in south central PA that has them. I keep trying flea-bay when someone mentions the discount code but it never works for me. We have Food Lion but I dont shop there.
