We have reservations in April from the Cozumel port to Chichen Itza.  Long day on a bus, I understand.

Q:  Is there an opportunity to get food (ferry, local vendors on site) on this excursion?

Thank you in advance.

 ... the earliest we were able to get was 7:15. We just showed up every evening at 6:45, went to the line for people with reservations and were seated. Worked perfectly. Of course if everyone does this it won’t. So let’s keep it our secret. 🤫 

 Good advice. I will follow it. 7:15 is the earliest I could get too.

FWIW, I always have battery votive candles in my shower bag.

First-time Royal Caribbean visitor here. Does RC have a benefit for veterans similar to Princess (which is $100 OBC for a 7-night cruise)?

On the Emerald Princess (boarding on Saturday 7-1), the medallion app shows 2 new eateries on deck 15 aft, Planks BBQ (starboard) and Steamers Seafood (port). However the website doesn't doesn't shows those on the deck plans and doesn't mention them on the Food & Dining page.

Has anyone seen if these eateries really exist and are open yet?

We don't eat meat or shellfish. I've seen the delicious Sabatini's menus and that's cool. We've made reservations for our forthcoming trip. Question is for the Crown grill. Do they have straight-on fish mains? (without the shellfish add-ins?). We have the Premiere and two specialty dinners. Would love to try Crown if they have fish. Advice, anyone? Or are we better off with Sabatini's both evenings?

From the sample menu on Princess's website:

Sea scallops, salmon caviar

Chilean sea bass with prawns (you could eschew the prawns)

Just a quick question. I haven’t cruised on Princess in many years. What is the dress code for dinner. Do they still do formal and semi-formal nights. Do have to suit or sports jacket. What happens if I just where a nice shirt and panes. 
 

Slacks, button down shirt, tie, sportscoat are  what I wear and I am overdressed.

We had a party of 6 last summer and I was unable to set up a table for us on the website or app. I talked to the maître d' the first night and he accommodated us that night. I got a phone call next day in the cabin; the dining room staff had worked their magic and we had a reserved table and time for the rest of the week.

What are the start times for after-dinner shows on Princess? (Obviously has a bearing on when we make reservations.)

The current CDC rules will allow cleared lines to run cruises of 7 days or less from US ports. I wonder if a B2B, being 14 days, violates the guidelines, hence the cancellation?

I have a 10-day cruise tour booked, departing Fairbanks on June 6, with the ship (Coral Princess) departing Whittier on June 9 (the departure after the original poster's), and we haven't received that dreaded email.

Based on RSF Cruiser's suggestions, I phoned Avis in Alaska. She said that they will not make cars available in Skagway until they know for sure that ships will be visiting. So, what I'm seeing online is what the Avis clerk is seeing.

Keeping my fingers crosseded, I guess.

(Thanks for the responses.)

Virus permitting, we will be in Skagway on Satyrday, 6-12-2021. I would like to rent a car for the duration of our port call (7 am to 8:30 pm). In doing preiminary web searches for rental cars, I keep getting "No cars available" on the date I entered.

Has anyone done this and/or does anyone know if there are any agencies in Skagway that would be likely to have cars available?

Are the agencies not reporting vehicle availability while waiting for the fog of Covid to clear?

Are rentals in such high demand in Skagway that I should have reserved a year ago?

Any suggestions?

Thanks again, ll. No need for any more responses.

Mods please delete if appropriate.

I am, Covid permitting, sailing Princess to Alaska in June 2021. I booked the cruise with a promo package that includes alcoholic beverages. My wonders are twofold:

• Can we order a bottle of wine with dinner as part of the drinks package or should I get wine by the glass?
• Does the drinks package waive corkage fees?

Thanks in advance for you answers.

First-time booking made on Royal Caribbean. Does RC offer any sort of military benefits (similar to Princess's on-board credit for active duty and veterans)?

Given your destination and given that you have trip insurance, I'd cancel. Resked for 6 months or a year from now.

I'd be much more comfortable with the Mexican Riviera or the Caribbean right now; you might be able to find a cabin for a spring 2020 jaunt.

Cabo:  we narrowed it down to doing the UTV & Suspension Bridge tour or Snorkeling & the Arch

My 23-year old daughter and I did the UTV and suspension bridge excursion last spring and had a blast.

In Cabo, you can get a water taxi to the arch or Mendano beach. I think you can get parasailing at Mendano (or kayaking, jet-skiing, and stand-up paddling).

Leaving on the Breeze this Saturday and hopefully make it to Bermuda! 

Never mind. You're Saturday the 21st; I'm Saturday the 28th.

 Um ... That would take a big change of schedule -- we're scheduled to go south, Amber, St. Thomas, San Juan, Grand Turk.

See you on board!

On the Ruby in March of this year, there were kids who had the wi-fi package and they were Googling the answers to the trivia questions. So, yeah, it happens.

I love hearing this.  We'll be on the Breeze next month for the first time.  I wonder if MarQ will still be there.

He's cycling out on 9-28 and a new CD is reporting for duty.

Never been to a cruise-line operated port before. Question:  If you zipline or buy a drink, do you pay with cash/credit or on your cruise card?

Am I going to get any sleep?
