If I’m taking a cab or Uber from a hotel to the Ship, do I need to know which terminal the ship is at to let the driver know? If so, how can I find out which terminal it is? I believe RCCL ships might be at A or G. Do I just need to let them know the name of the ship? Thanks.

I haven’t seen any references to boosters in the RCCL vaccination requirements, but one of the health questions asks if you have had a booster. What am I missing?

Can anyone recommend independent tour operators or companies for any of the ABC islands?

Thanks!

I've just purchased the drink package for my cruise in January. I will check the price from time to time to see if it goes down. If it does, how do I cancel the package I have? I don't see that as an option.

Can anyone provide an update on this excursion. We are signed up for it in January for our Jewel of the Seas cruise . The beach it goes to looks very nice & we are looking for a relaxing sail, a bit of snorkeling & the lunch-- but I am wondering if anyone else experienced rough seas ?

I can't give an "update" per se, but I have also been on this excursion - in October, 2006. The beach is nice, the sailing and the boat itself are very nice, and the lunch is good. I enjoyed the experience for the most part, but am somewhat susceptible to seasickness on small boats and was a little green on the return trip. The water was not very rough, but there was enough motion to get to me. If I did it again I would take ginger tablets beforehand. Others in my family had a wonderful time and were not affected at all by the motion.

On an earlier visit I did the 12 metre yacht race, which was a blast, but by the end I'd had more than enough.

I was in St. Maarten again a couple of weeks ago. The water was very rough, probably due to the early effects of TS Noel, and I was glad not to be on a waterborne excursion. I'm afraid rough or smooth seas are just not predictable.

Do the excursion, but take some ginger just to be safe.

It is VERY easy to take taxis between MIA and the Port of Miami. If I remember correctly, the fare is about $24 plus tip.
