Thanks for the first hand account. I'm in the exact same family situation as you with the wife and 2 kids. We have a tour booked with Oneil Tours. Read some good feedback about him. I guess guide tour aside, that will be it. Straight back to the ship after that.

This is actually a good analogy. Thanks for the constructive feedback.

Haiti didn't fall apart when we booked our trip. The rational part of my brain is telling me everything will be fine. The paranoid part of my brain is saying "what if".... Not trying to start a whole thing with this. Just wanted to get some feedback from people who have been recently was all.

While you are correct, I was thinking of the "closest points" between the 2 nations. Definitely much closer.

With the current unrest in Haiti, how does everyone feel about Jamaica? While I realize they are separate countries and islands, they are separated by just a short boat/plane ride away. I have a cruise on Odyssey of the Seas in 2 weeks that I'm getting uncomfortable with. Thanks for any feedback.

Thanks for detailed review. We also have a tour booked with Oneil and have similar activities booked, although sounds like you did more than we will. We only have the Blue Hole and Scotchies on the agenda. We will be arriving at Falmouth on the Odyssey of the Seas in April. Ship will be in port 7AM - 4PM. I'm assuming we will be allowed to leave the ship by about 7:30AM. Can you give me rough times of when you met up with Oneil, when you arrived at Blue Hole, Scotchies and finally back to the ship? I'm a bit of a worry wart with timing and would like to be back at the port no later than 90 mins, in this case, 2:30PM before the ship leaves. Thanks again for the feedback.

We sail Odyssey of the Seas and will get back to FLL at 6 AM on a Saturday. There is a flight leaving FLL at 9:11 AM. If we take all our luggage with us and line up to get off the ship at 6 AM, should we be OK? The next direct flight to the SF Bay Area doesn't leave until 8:30 PM.

What are some good restaurants near the port for lunch?

Hi all. If you can only do one, which would you do and why? Will be on Odyssey of the Seas at Falmouth. Also, would it be practical to hit Scotchies for lunch since it's going in the other direction? Any suggestions for tour operators? Thanks for any input.

The app isn't downloadable anymore.

How much is the fare from the port to the turtle center for a family of 4? Do we have to leave port to catch one? Thanks.

How is it currently? Read about some issues a few weeks ago. Safe to roam around? Have something booked for New year's week.

I was trying to brain storm solutions for our 10 year old if we were to get seperated on the ship. Didn't want to get her a cell phone solely for this trip.

Are these allowed on board? If not, and Royal were to confiscate them, would Royal give them back to us when we go onshore/excursions? Thanks.

Calls to Park West have yielded same answer as calls to Celebrity, "we'll look into it and get back to you." Crickets there after. Slight exagerration on my part in that it hasn't been a full year yet. Currently 9.5 months since the cruise, but the point remains, as someone else has noted, it can take "up to 12 weeks".
