We got the BC for $117/person.  I had OBC so I can use it for that and that's paying for one person plus.  We are the type that sits on the second level around the pool. Do not like being on top of each other.  We will be at CC all day. We are early risers and will be there very early and stay all day.  So for me, I think it's worth it.

Yes. 

Thank you.  I just cancelled hideawy and purchased the club.

You definitely should go with the beach club. Hideaway is a party area and the loungers on the beach are very close together. As someone else mentioned, Hideaway has a heated pool, which made it worth paying to go there (we went 3 times in February and March). I wouldn’t pay for Hideaway this time of year. I was at Coco Cay earlier this week. The water temperature in the ocean and Oasis Lagoon was perfect. 

Thank you for this. I think we will do the club. Is there a beach there as well? 

Thanks RFerrington for the reply. I feel it's more FOMO than anything.  I just feel the last time we were there, we had a day bed.  It was great not being on top of everyone else. I think that's more what I am looking for.  I hate that all the loungers are so close together.

Good morning

We leave next Monday on Indy (yeah).  I know there is a big difference in price, but I am wondering about the difference in experience of these to spots on the Island.  While the "adults only" is a big draw for us, would we be better at the Club?  Access to beach and pool?  I have read quite a bit and it seems the day pass can be loud, but I read you can go to the end of the beach and it might be quieter.  Wondering if the club is loud also?   TIA

Thank you for this. We sail in September.

Anyone chime in on the check in process?  Still easy peasy?  Also what terminal will she go out of the the May 27th sailing? Any info on current show/times?

My TA does everything. I use to do it all. Now when I want a change, I just email her.  She is very responsive. Also,I did my on OBC transfer to my own account. Showed up about 2 weeks later. FYI, it says you will receive an email when OBC transfers, however, I never got one. It just showed up on my planner.

For me recently it showed up about 2 weeks. Never received the email but it just popped up on my account.

I just did this a few weeks ago. Took about a week.  Funny thing is, I never received and e-mail that it was put onto my account. I noticed it there when I went in to log in. Whalla. There is was. Still never received  an email like it said.

We have been doing the non refundable. I purchase travel insurance.   Have not had to use it, but I know that it's there.

No problem.  The west coast does not have sargassum predominantly it is intermittent due to storms and currents.
 

One webcam is by International pier,  other further south between Paradise Beach and the southern piers at Intercontinental Presidente. Just google Cozumel webcams, they will give you an indication closer to your visit. 

C-leg. Thank you so much for this.

As stated by PP what has happened historically won’t help you plan.

 

If you are going to the west coast check the webcams it can change according to storms and prevailing currents.

If you are going to the east coast in the summer assume there is sargassum and be thankful if there isn’t.

Thanks for this. We are going to Paradise Beach at the end of May.  Will still enjoy the place as we had a tough winter up north in NE. Again, much appreciated.

Any updates on this subject?

We sailed Song of Norway for our honeymoon back in 1990.  Loved going to the viking crown lounge for a pre-dinner drink. Loved the horse races by the pool,  ice carving, midnight buffet with carved fruit and such. Such wonderful memories. Thanks for bringing this back up.. 

I did it on the app a few weeks ago.  I could not find it on the website. 

I print out sail pass as someone pointed out. I print the luggage tags.  Personally too much going on when trying to check in to be bothered writing on the tag. We go down a day head so when we hit the hotel, we just insert over our address on our clear tags.  Again. all personal preference.  We all have our own routine. What ever works for you.

This gives me hope for our 11:40 flight.  Good job on your part. Always stressful of all the unknowns. 

Haven't been on a RCCL ship in a couple of years. Do they load your card day of embarkation?  I thought I read they changed something up with the drinks.

We are down to $34.00 for each of us for the end of May. Will be memorial day weekend.  Hopefully the  cruise will not be too crowded.  Keep waiting for the price to dip a bit more. But happy with the price we are at.

I was  in there earlier. All good.

Just redeemed for our Icon cruise, only took 2 days to post on our reservation.

rock the boat.... did you book yourself? Or through at TA? 

I just did mine. I will let you know when I hear from them. I leave in 32 days.

It will only be two of us on a Sunday morning.  I don't mind paying, but seems pretty high. Only 2 pieces of luggage.  So smaller side.  We usually go out of Ft. L and it didn't seem so high. I did read somewhere that they got rid of flat rate.  Ugggg

If mobility is not a problem, you can take the light rail to about 3 blocks from the Hampton Brickell. Seems to me it was about $5pp last time I took it. The Hampton has a shuttle to the port. I think it was $8pp.

Thank you for this. I feel I am looking for the taxi price.  But knowing about the mover helps. I am not cheap but $50.00 plus tip seems high from the airport to the hotel.
