Thank you. We will be in St. Croix for the first time in October and are looking for our best option. Would prefer an island tour, but does not have to be.

Did you find a non RCCL tour to do?

I know St. Croix is not visited as frequently as other islands in the area and as such there are fewer posts here and fewer 3rd party options so I'm starting my search early. We will be visiting St. Croix for the first time in October. Normally I like to do an island tour the first time I visit an island, but I honestly don't know if I'll ever visit St. Croix a 2nd time, so I'm looking for what might be considered a must do excursion/activity. Our trip has plenty of beach days, so unless the beach is better than St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Barbados it does not need to have beach time. Royal Caribbean does offer an excursion over to Buck Island if that's a better option that staying on St. Croix as I have not been there before either. If an island tour is the right option, does anyone have recent experience with local tour guides? Thanks in advance

Thank you!

Thank you, but I don't really understand. I thought on my ship card there was a code to use to sign into the Internet. I've never done the 2 device, so maybe there are 2 codes on the card? Or a different code inside the MSC for Me App?

We too are sailing on the 31st. I called them, no hold time, talked to the rep and they finished our check in for us telling us they would do the pics at the dock. This is our 4th time sailing with MSC and the 1st time the web interface would not let us skip the picture part. Of interesting note, we could do everything but the picture on the computer - web cam would show our face, but not actually take the picture AND we could easily take the picture in the app, but it would not scan the passport. I could not find a way to combine the 2 processes, so I just called. They emailed me my ticket as I was on the phone with them.

We are on the Seashore later this month and our package includes Internet and 1 device. I know this is literally 1 device per person. Because of some stuff happening at work, I'm going to need a 2nd device. I assume I can just go to the MSC site and select the Browse & Streaming 1 device, prepay and be all set. Would that be accurate? Once on board I would then have 1 browse device and 1 Browse & Stream. How would I make sure the Browse & Stream was associated to my laptop and the Browse was associated with my cell phone?

We are seasoned cruisers but have never made it to Costa Maya. Assuming our ship makes it later this month, we are looking for someplace to go outside the cruise pier similar to Paradise Beach (our favorite) or Mr Sanchos in Cozumel. Looking for someplace with both beach access and a pool. There are 4 adults and 2 teens and we are not big drinkers, but don't mind AI since we do like to eat 🙂 If I'm reading other forum posts correctly, it looks like Mahahual Beach is the right area, but I can't seem to find someplace with a decent pool too. If there isn't someplace with a decent pool is there part of Mahahual Beach that has clearer water than the other? Is the water at Jamie's Blue Reef about as good as it gets?

You can get canned soda. I do it on MSC all the time, they typically give you a can and ask if you want a cup of ice.

Thank you both. I didn't see the soda machine when we were on in November. How does it work for just those with drink plan? We were never issues cups with RFID like on RCL.

We were on the first sailing back from the US in November after the Seashore had been in Europe. On that trip they seemed to have Coke, Pepsi and Keurig DrPepper brands on board. I'm assuming some were left over from Europe and some were new for the us sailing as I don't see neither Coke nor Pepsi giving them a good deal if they sell both. So, does anyone who has sailed on the Seashore since then know what brand they have in the US and more specifically, what diet soda options they have?

I'm familiar with the ferry ride as I've gone a few times, but I'm looking for options to get to/from the ferry terminal.

Belci, I'm not sure if you are back yet or not as it's still January. Did you end up going to Pinel Island? My wife and I have been a few times, we have always gotten the "tour" with Benard's Tour which is really just $45 per person for a van ride to and from the ferry. I just came on here to see if I could find a way to save a few $$. That being said, does anyone know if we can just get a taxi back and forth and what that cost might be? My biggest concern would be taxi back to Philipsburg.

We were there in November and had no issues in the garage itself, but all of the outside parking was under construction and closed. That meant less room in the garage of course. The luggage drop off area was not affected. Does anyone know when the construction is expected to be completed?

Card does not show table size.
