    Galveston flooding

    in Gulf Coast Departures

    Posted

    Galveston is NOT under water; all of Houston is!

    Yes, we have had a lot of rain, but it drains. Houston area is impassable and will be for days.

    You are better off on the ship.

    Should they disembark, stay on the island, there are many hotels.

     

    Do not put yourself or anyone else in danger. The situation in Houston is critical.

    I can't stress enough how bad - Our son and family were fine last night, now can't leave the Woodlands for higher ground - surrounded by water!

    Houston was pretty much shut down today...

     

    Why is there no water pipeline, to take floodwaters from place that do NOT need it, to California, that DOES need it???? I mean, really....

     

     

     

    Sad. It probably because there's not enough money in it.

    Beach day pass

    in Cozumel

    Posted

    Nachi has no water toys, etc. If you want paddle boards, kayaks, etc. for an extra fee you are better off heading to Sanchos.

     

     

     

    We rented a paddle board last time we were there and hoping to again in September.

    Mayan Princess May 31, 2017

    in Roatan

    Posted

    We visited the Mayan Princess off of Liberty of the Seas on May 31, 2017. Below are my observations.

    We did beach day passes for $35 per person - we had sent them an email before we arrived, and they provided a van so the $35 included transportation and a beach chair. The pictures you see of the "condos" at Mayan Princess are not where you stay for your beach day, and the pool is not included ($10 per person more) but once I got my mind wrapped around that fact that we were next door/attached and it was the same beach I was OK. The beach is GREAT!! We were able to rent snorkel gear on the beach for 2 for $15 - and then we walked down the beach (near the buildings with the tile roofs) for some great snorkeling. We walked off the beach and had a great time. We saw some beautiful fish, but never did see large schools of fish. For me, the part I enjoyed the most was the "drop offs" in the reef. One second you are maneuvering over and around very shallow water, and the next you were swimming over a 75 foot drop off!! It was breathtaking.

    Back to the beach - I do have to say that I did not like the constant (and I do mean constant) peddlers on the beach - I finally got to a point where I ignored them and tried to pretend they weren't there - but I don't have a problem being a little rude - but others in my party are always very polite, and they must have said 10,000 times - no thanks, Thanks for asking but not today etc etc etc !!!! Did I mention that it was constant??!!?!?

     

    But overall the beach and the water were very beautiful and I loved the walk off the beach snorkeling.

     

    After reading this paragraph to my wife, she says that I have not said enough about how beautiful the beach and water were. The sand was powdery and soft, the water was clear and calm, and an incredible blue color. Again an absolutely beautiful beach.

     

    We have the $75 AI deal with them. I was told via email that the pool was included. Guess we will see.

    Did you snorkel off the beach or a boat? Did they offer a boat snorkel trip? I may want to do that and get away from the vendors:D

    Thanks for the review, this is the only place we're going that's new to me.

    ALL things Liberty of th Seas

    They don't charge for bags, they don't charge to change a ticket to another flight or date or even to cancel a flight, and they will, like David says, refund the difference if a ticket goes down. We like SW a lot!

     

    In Houston, the SW bonus is that Hobby is closer to Galveston than to IAH Bush.

     

    We're also SW fans. Keep checking the price after booking, I've found 2 price drops for our Sept cruise.

    They don't do refunds really, it's a credit to use in the next year.

    Transportation from Houston airport to hotel in Galveston

    in Gulf Coast Departures

    Posted

    I have used them before and highly recommend them. They are very reliable. They will call you at the airport if they can't find you before leaving plus we got a ride in one of those large Mercedes benz vans. Also leaving Galveston heading home they were there on time, some other companies were not. Several other cruise passengers were asking if they had room to take them since they couldn't get ahold of the transportation company they booked.

     

     

    Great to hear, thanks
