I believe that this excursion will take us to Tankah Park near Tulum.  It is a walking tour that takes us to 4 cenotes.  Has anyone done this tour that can answer questions?  How long is the walk/hike for the day?  Is it mostly level or hilly?  Is it a loop or out and back?  

Thanks

Has anyone done this zip line?  Do you recommend?  Can you tell me what kind of braking mechanism they use?  

what are the hours for the Platinum / Elite Happy Hour?

How about gratuities?  Can you pay another cabin's gratuities?

i am booking for my family so i will have all the booking numbers.  we are going to use the 'Best Sale Ever' so we won't need the OBC for the usual drinks, gratuities, ...  But, we will have lots of OBC from stock credit, FCC, Costco & Best Sale Ever.  More than we would use on our own excursions.  So, I want to be able to use it for excursions for the whole family.  

Can I use my OBC to purchase excursions for other people that I am traveling with that are in another cabin?

I am assuming that OBC is not refundable if I receive it for being a shareholder or for cashing in future cruise credit.

Thanks

When does the Magic move to San Diego? Do you mean the Miracle? 

My bad...  it is the Miracle.  I was working from memory, that isn't very good.

We will be sailing on the Magic out of San Diego

If your whole group has internet, does that work decently enough for messaging each other using iPhones.  Or is the internet not reliable.

If we buy the internet plan do we still need to pay the $5 per person for the Hub app chat feature?  Or, does that get included if you buy internet?

Thanks

I know the medallion hardware was installed on the Golden in 2018, but it's not a Medallion class ship.  Does anyone know if it has Video on Demand in the cabins?  How about the medallion internet.

Thanks

oh, ya...  and do back to back count as 2 cruises toward Elite status?

We are getting ready to book our first back to back (on the Royal out of San Pedro).  One is a 5 day and the other is a 4 day.  Typically we do not buy the unlimited internet but use our Platinum/Elite complimentary internet minutes.  If I book these as two separate cruises will I get 150 minutes for the first cruise and then another 150 minutes for the second cruise?  And if so, if the minutes are not used up at the end of the first will they carry over?

Also, if I buy a coffee card, will it be valid for both cruises or expire at the end of the first cruise.

Thanks

But it's not very much of a discount from the sale price available online to everyone prior to sailing.

In this case, it's less than a 9% discount of the pre-cruise price.

 

Do you have information on the 7 day multi-device plan price, once on-board, for platinum/elite?  Also, am I able to share that plan with the other passengers in my cabin?

Thanks

I'm assuming with this many people you had two rooms.  Were you able to adjoin the balconies on this ship?

Thanks

I am considering a cruise with my parents and just sleeping on the sofa bed in a deluxe balcony cabin on the Royal Princess.  I know that it will be crowded but is it worse than me climbing into an upper bunk?  Can you squeeze past to get to the balcony when it's folded out?  Is it easy to open and close each night?  Does the cabin steward do that just like he would do the bunk?  Anyone have input or pictures to help me with my decision?

Thanks,  Susan

Since we have returned from our trip I thought I would post here in case anyone runs across this thread.  As MNmariner said, Ken's Garage was very convenient to the cruise dock and were nice to interface with.  All went well.  I would recommend them for car rental.

We were in Edinburgh in January 2018 and purchased an Explorer Pass.  We did not have to book a time for Edinburgh Castle, we just showed up.  It was of course the off season, so it might be different in summer.  We went their first thing, but not particularly early, and went straight in.

@djh1959   Thanks so much for the response!

So has anyone 'been there, done that' and can verify that with the Explorer Pass you DO NOT need to pre-book a time at  Edinburgh Castle.  I have searched high and low and can't find anywhere that says you need to.  I'm also planning to use the pass at Stirling & Urquhart and think I need to do nothing there but show up.   Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!

Good advice.  Thank you!

I got stuck right off looking at a ticket for the Tower of London.  Specifically, the one on tripadvisor was £7 more but said 'skip the long lines'.  Didn't know if that was something worth it or just the same skip by not going to the ticket window.  Misleading I think

We will be in London for a couple of days before and a couple of days after our cruise.  I have multiple attractions I would like to buy advance passes to.  I have checked and we are not visiting enough places for the London Pass or others like that to benefit us.   But, I'm wondering if I should buy our tickets for each attraction individually from their official website or does anyone recommend a website to buy from that may have some other benefit or price difference?   visitBritian.com and getyourguide.com are a couple I've seen but I don't know if there is any drawback or benefit.

Thanks

Thank you for the advice on Island Coachways.  I had looked at that and saw they only did 2 days a week.. not when we will be there.  But, on your advice I checked again.  The half day tour is only twice a week.  But the Explorer (90 min) Tour is several times a day when ships are in port.   We will definitely consider this.   I was kind of hoping to just use the Guernsey bus so that we could stop anywhere we like.  But this is a nice alternative.

In Guernsey we mostly plan to walk around town and to Castle Cornet.  But, I'm struggling with finding concrete information about the bus for if we decide that we want to see more of the island.  I think that to travel a full loop around the island via bus we need to get a Day Pass for £5 because it will be what's called a non-standard journey.  Can anyone verify if this is correct?  And also, can we hop off where we want and then get back on another bus later?  If so, does it have to be the same route or can we jump around?

Thanks so much for  any help!

Thank you so much for all the advice.  I have to admit it is a bit daunting!  But I'll figure it out eventually.  Haha.  

Seems you are saying that in the area of Victoria tube station there is also an LTR bus station, train station, & a Nat Express coach station.  And I have to find the right one.  That part sounds daunting 🙂

So another question. @brian1 said to get off at Barons Court and switch to the District line.  I am looking at the tube map and I thought you could only switch lines where there is a white circle.  There is no circle at Barons but both lines have a tab mark.  Is switching available because they share the track there and both have stops there?  Just wondering so I understand how to read this map.

Also, Is Victoria the best place to get a coach to Southhampton or is there something else you would recommend?

Thanks for all the replies.  Sounds like a solid business and is very convenient.  We have rented for a day this coming July.
