We took this excursion and I would highly recommend it - much personal attention and photography tips. We took the morning trip and had time to re-visit the falls on our way back to see how it had changed since we were there earlier.

We enjoyed the Royal Pacific onsite at Universal and enjoyed all of the amenities that E050377 listed. We did our stay before our 4-day cruise. Car rental makes the most sense in your case.

I did a Google search for Coconuts and Rastas and found photos of their menus. They are hand-written on boards and may or not be current. Both menus were priced in pesos.

They don't notify you about the start time until about 2 weeks before your cruise as it's based on how many people from each of the cruise ships in port that day have signed up. And they also take people from the hotels in the area so the day is a "work in progress" as bookings come in. As I understand it, they may even run two busses. The route the bus takes back to Senior Frogs after the tour passes right by each of the cruise terminals so there would be no reason why they wouldn't drop you off. You can see the bus route on the website.

We have taken the Cozumel Bar Hop and will be doing it again on our Oasis Cruise in May. We loved the tour - we visited 4 bars on the opposite side of Cozumel which is very beautiful. We spent about 1/2 hr to 45 min. at each bar. You meet the tour leader at the downtown Senior Frogs - our trip left around 1:00 so we did our shopping before the Bar Hop as it was close to sailing time when we arrived back. They will drop you at your ship's pier when you get back. The FAQ on their website is pretty comprehensive. The experience is great fun!

Port of Baltimore is one of the easiest ports to sail out of - easy to find, plenty of parking and very nice people working both in the parking area and in the terminal. No worries!:)

LOVE The Field - we never miss an opportunity to stop in when we sail from Ft. Lauderdale!

I use AT&T and had no problem with extra charges for my cell phone use in Alaska last year. Some areas didn't get a signal, but those that did were on the AT&T network.

Actually when we were on the Oasis in 2015, the Windjammer had Snow Crab legs on the first formal night. They also had a special seafood the second formal night but I don't remember what it was since we did not eat there that evening.

I always pick one up at Walmart - very reasonable price since I leave it behind. I have a small duffle that holds the rolled up topper so I just zip it up in that and check it as luggage. Then I use the duffle for storing laundry onboard.

We did a 13-day Land/Cuise tour in Aug of 2014 and loved it! We are in our 60's and enjoyed not having to worry about planning a DIY experience. Although we found it worthwhile, many on the Alaska Board feel that a DIY is the best was to see the most for your money. We were very pleased with our tour though & would happily do it again.

I LOVE Titos and asked while on the Enchantment. I was told they had it for awihile but it was removed because it wasn't popular. I think they jumped the gun! Thanks for the recipe Judy - sounds like something I will like so I will try it next time I'm in a mixing mood.

I think they are always there. If the excursion is offered through the ship, then that would imply there is something to see.

We thoroughly enjoyed Chops on the Enchantment - excellent meal & service. We generally do not do Chops anymore but this was a special anniversary treat from my husband's daughter & granddaughter. We are so glad we agree to go! And check out the outstanding bartenders in the R Bar - wonderful martinis and very special service - especially from Sandra the mixologist onboard.:)

Depends on the ship/bartender. On our last cruise (Enchantment) I was asked to sign in some bars and not in others.

I have started bringing my own egg crate to each of our sailings and just leaving it behind when we depart. Other than the Crown Loft Suite on the Oasis, I find most of the beds on RCL ships to be too hard or too old and saggy.

Sorry you had those conditions on the Enchantment. We sailed on the 4-day right before you and had perfectly calm seas (almost like glass) and sunny weather the entire trip. Coco Cay day was splendid. You just never know what the weather will do!

Of course every cruise will be different and weather patterns can easily affect the ship, but I usually get very seasick (and have since I was a child). I take Bonine to alleviate the issue. On the Oasis however, I have actually been able to skip the medication occasionally! Hope your little guy will have an enjoyable cruise.

I manage to get all of the marketing emails from RCI to my hotmail address but don't ever seem to get confirmations of shore excursions or drink packages. As long as I can see those on my cruise planner then I don't worry about that.

Last time I received an email promotion regarding the drink package (for our Aug. sailing on Liberty) I went armed with all of the documentation in the email and they refused to honor it. I tried all week at guest services and with bar managers. My TA even submitted all the paperwork to RCI after the cruise and never heard a peep out of them. Wonderful if you get the perk but I wouldn't count on it:(

It is still there - it will be gone after their dry-dock coming up in early 2016.

We haven't done the MDR in a couple of years. We either do the WJ, eat a late lunch on shore if in port or hit Coastal Kitchen when we're lucky enough to have a Suite. Don't miss it at all!

We've stayed in Kingsland many times as we drive to all of our FL cruises. Our favorite hotel is the Best Western Plus - good value and close to restaurants. Don't remember the exact exit number....

That answer would make me uncomfortable. It's been my experience that my RCI charges appear within 3 days of the day my TA makes my payments :(
