Does anyone know how long the taxi ride is from the port to Maho Beach?

Thanks, was wondering the same thing.

If there is only one ship in port there will not be crowds.

I'm just reading these older post because we are taking our first cruise in Feb 07 (NCL Sun out of New Orleans).

The tips are added to our account and will have to be paid by credit card at the end of the cruise. My question is pre-paying $10/person/day for our group will be $280 for 7 days. I don't think that is too much to ask for the service we will receive, but if we were not required to pre-pay, I don't think I would tip $40 on any given day.

We don't plan on getting many room service orders and if the room stewart gets tips everytime we see him, how much can that be a day?

My sons are teenagers and won't be expected to tip (just the parents right?)

I'm just worried that with the $280 already added to the bill, we might feel bad about not tipping when we should, which would end up costing another couple hundred dollars that we didn't plan on. Double tipping seems excessive. I might feel different once the cruise is over, but the reason this is our first cruise was financial.

Thanks for listening to be run on.........
