  1. Doing both would be a great tour, but I think you'd need a couple of more hours in port to be able to take it in.

     

    I'd suggest, Dzibanche, probably a better example of Mayan culture than either Chacchobben or Kohunlich. You can climb the temples at Dzibanche, not sure on Kohunlich.

    They are still excavating portions and discovering tombs.

     

    Just be prepared for a long day.

     

    Thanks for your quick response, is Dzibanche a farther drive than Chacchobben?

  2. Thanks everyone. We want to go to Fort Rob Hill and lighthouse, that involves a transfer each way so I was thinking a daily pass. I do remember a small kiosk exchanging money on our walk to downtown so a little difference in exchanger rate for such a small denomination is OK. With 6 ships in port and only docking from 10-6, thought this was our best adventure having been there several times.

  3. Too small to read...but on Brilliance, all the shows revolve around the 2 traditional seating times. Early dining goes to the AFTER dinner show...Late seating goes to the BEFORE dinner show....MTD...it's up to you to eat at a time that works with the show you choose...if you want to see a show at all1

     

    I asked about specific times, 7 and 9, etc. Thanks Ken but the 4 day cruise doesn't match our 12 night cruise and there was no consistency in showtimes (matinee, one show only, etc). If anyone has specific times they have experienced it will help us make our dinner reservations for MTD.

  4. You may still have to wait inline even with a pass as lots of people have passes but the line will be shorter, this won’t help if the car park is full which can be frustrating when people have booked in advance and can’t get in. It may be an option for a private tour or taxi to drop you outside the “grounds”if the car park is closed because it’s busy. I would try and get there before the tour buses do if you can. Yours is the only ship in that day and the English and Welsh schools won’t have broken up so it shouldn’t be too bad.

     

    There is public transport from Inverness to the castle every day, you need the fort William bus for that.

     

    Just checking, you are aware that Urqhuart castle is a ruin? It’s nicely located but is just ruins. If you want to see a castle that’s not in ruins let me know and I can give you suggestions.

     

    I would be interested in your other suggestions for castles or alternative itineraries.

  5. Terminal de Cruceros Quinquela Martin,

    Avenida Presidente Ramón San Castillo 13, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires,

     

     

    Be sure to include the terminal's property number (13), it's a very very long Avenida

     

    I think the driver will have to drop you / your luggage at the port gate / cruise terminal (same thing) & you then take a free port shuttlebus to your ship

     

    JB :)

     

    Thank you so much, it worked perfectly!

  6. Thank you so much for your review. I used South Excursions previously from Valparaiso with great success so I too booked a tour/transfer for our upcoming (March 2018) disembarkation in San Antonio. Because of your review I have sent an email to SE saying that I am deeply concerned and asked for assurances this will not happen when we get to San Antonio. Thank you!!!

  7. We are sailing Saturday out of Athens, Greece and just got our room assignment. We are directly across the hall from the laundry room. We are not happy, only 6 cruises with Princess, but certainly hoped we would get a better room. Can anyone tell me what I should expect in terms of noise and how early it starts and how late it goes?

  8. Non-suite cabins get shampoo/conditioner combo plus a bottle of "body wash" is mounted in the shower. The shampoo part of the combo washes my hair OK, but the conditioner part is terrible. I bring a small tube (approx. 4 oz) of conditioner. Works for me. YMMV

    There will also be a small round cake of soap at the sink. The steward will give you more if needed.

    The shampoo/conditioner bottle is refilled by the steward and never really runs empty.

     

    So no small bottles for steerage, bummer! I hate the stuff in the mounted on the wall dispenser.
