  1. Have Coral Princess hotel booked for one night before cruise. Only going to be there basically to sleep. Any one been or have reviews?
  2. I always take these hammock floats on our cruise. They come completely flat (so go right in the bottom of suitcase), are really inexpensive, and you can blow them up with your mouth. We just toss them when we are done. They are perfect.
  3. First time on a cruise to the area. Have no idea what to do. We love chilling on the beach and having drinks with possible snorkeling. Like to do a little local shopping. Any suggestions at all? There are so many things that I am overwhelmed. Do not want to do a tour. Rather just enjoy the scenery. Possibly not far from the cruise port. Definitely not a crowded place. It will be during Spring break so I am sure there will be tons at the popular spots. TIA

  6. Leaving in 12 days on a cruise. I have all ports planned except Halifax. Any ideas on what to do ? We will be there from 1-8 pm. Just my husband and I will be there. Not a huge history fan but like shopping in unique places and eating of course. All suggestions appreciated.
  7. I use the hot chocolate packs instead and it helps the coffee a bit. LOL
  8. thank you all for your help. think we will just enjoy Portland!!
  9. Our cruise ports in Portland from 7-5 and having trouble deciding.. would love to go to Kennebunkport but cruise ship reviews are not good as most say you only get to stay in town for 1 hour. Should we just spend the day in Portland or is it worth the trip out to Kennebunkport. Cruise ship tour says 1-5 so not sure why you would only get one hour in town. We could get up early and spend 7 am until 1 in Portland then do the tour to Kennebunkport. Never been to either places. Thanks for any advice. any suggestions much appreciated.
  10. Will be in Portland from 7 am until 4 PM on a cruise. Would like to visit Kennebunkport. Any suggestions on tours or ways to get there? The excursions on our cruise are sold out. TIA
  11. Flying into LGA the day before our cruise and staying in a hotel near Times Square. What is the best way to get there? Just my husband and I with minimal luggage. TIA
  12. Have booked Hyatt Times Square for our September cruise. Anyone stayed there? We have a full day before our cruise. Looking at possibly the 911 museum. How close it to the hotel or is there a quick way to get to the museum? My husbands first time in NY city. Any suggestions for dinner close by? TIA
  13. Anyone have any experience with this excursion? The Carnival website doesn't even have a picture of the vessel you ride on? TIA
  14. Tripadvisor has rated this as the number one place to go in St. John.. We will be docked in St. John for the day. Any suggestions on this place? How to get there? Is it a good way to spend part of the day? TIA
  15. We will be porting at Halifax, St. John New Brunswick, and Portland. If you wanted to do an excursion at one of them which would it be? Which excursion? We are ok just walking around town (shopping and eating) but thinking about an excursion at one of them. We mostly just want to see the fall foliage and scenery. TIA
  16. Just booked a fall cruise from NY on the Venezia. Can someone that has cruised on this ship give me some details? Have sailed mostly out of Mobile, Port Canaveral and Jacksonville. How is the port? Is it a mid-size ship? Did I read it was refurbished? Any tips would be appreciated. Just my husband and I going. TIA
  17. YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!! THAT HELPS SO MUCH! I WILL LOOK AT HOTELS CLOSER TO THE MANHATTAN AREA.
  18. thank you so much. We are sailing on the Carnival Venezia. It says it will leave from Manhattan Cruise Terminal. We are going to be going at the end of September. After looking on American Airlines, we have booked to come in to LGA around 1 in the afternoon the day before our cruise. My husband has never been to NY but I have been twice. I am looking at the Holiday Inn Express in Woodside since we have IHG points available, but not sure if this is close to anything. It is a new hotel with breakfast and an airport shuttle. We would need to find transportation to the port and back to the airport after the cruise. The subway would make him very nervous so probably would need a shuttle service, uber, etc. Any suggestions on that would be appreciated as well as any ideas about things to do the day before the cruise.
  19. So many questions... Sorry in Advance. Doing our first New England cruise from NY in September. I know there are 3 airports but which one is best and where should we stay if flying in the night before the cruise? Any suggestions, pros/cons very much appreciated!!! Two retired teachers so not looking to spend a fortune but need clean, safe area preferably with shuttle.
  20. Upcoming cruise in April. I have a room booked at Ramada Miami Springs. Free airport shuttle and 10 dollar shuttle to port. Anyone use them? The reviews are so mixed on websites. We will basically just be sleeping. flight arrives late in the evening. TIA
  21. I love to cruise. Started on Carnival then switched to RC after my last two Carnival cruises were a nightmare. Like RC but found a good deal on a Celebrity Cruise for my time frame. Anyone tell me the comparisons? Is Celebrity in comparison to a Carnival cruise or a RC cruise? Just like to relax, not a picky person but my last two Carnival the crowds were awful ( bad language, no respect, terrible music, just a free for all party). I guess I am just getting too old for that atmosphere. TIA
  22. I am helping my son plan a cruise for his honeymoon. He has agreed on a cruise, but is an avid fisherman. One port is Cozumel. Does anyone know of an excursion where you could fish or a place he could go to fish? TIA
  23. I am helping my son plan a cruise for his honeymoon. He has agreed on a cruise, but is an avid fisherman. One port is Costa Maya. Does anyone know of an excursion where you could fish or a place he could go to fish? TIA
  24. I am helping my son plan a cruise for his honeymoon. He has agreed on a cruise, but is an avid fisherman. One port is Belize. Does anyone know of an excursion where you could fish or a place he could go to fish? TIA
  25. Would love to do a whale watching tour on our cruise in October. I have looked into the 4 or 5 tours posted on here and they are all full. Anyone done the tour through RC? I know it is very expensive but not many options available. TIA
