    Mazatlan tours

    in Mexican Riviera

    Posted

    Has anyone taken one of these tours in Mazatlan?   The description on Royal Caribbean's website doesn't give much information.  
    1.  Highlight and Old Town Trolly 
    2. Mazatlan Highlight Express
    2.  Old Mazatlan Walking Tour 

     

    Any insight or information you are willing to give from experience on one of these tours is greatly appreciated.  

    Refresh drink package and cost of cruise gratuities

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Posted

    I have tried to search and find the answers, but I can't seem to locate for current year.   It's been 5 years since we have cruised.  
     

    Several questions: 
    1.  What is the current  daily gratuity cost for the cruise?   Is this still a prepaid item? 

    2.  On the RCCL website I have tried to locate the current cost of the refreshment package and it doesn't give me a cost,  just a description..... I need cost.   

    3.   Are there packages where you can bundle the refreshment package with internet?      Will the cheapest internet allow you to read comments and post on facebook?    I don't need video chat,  but I do need to read and send messages and respond to post.  

    Thanks 

    ALLURE // LIVE REVIEW / Sept. 2-9 Sail Away With Meee?

    I love it BBQ-HO. I'm from Eastern NC. We do whole hog vinegar based sauce with all the red pepper you can stand. It's different than the red sauce as some say an acquired taste. Once acquired, it's heaven and you pour on the sauce.

     

    Don't get me wrong I love all BBQ. The best are the shacks that make one of a kind served in Styrofoam or paper plates. So tender you can eat with plastic fork.

     

     

    Raising my hand, we are from Eastern NC too, about 30 minutes from Jacksonville. We have a local that cooks several hogs every Saturday and most of the time it is a sell out. People drive from all around just to eat there, even out of state.

    So—... I’m pretty sure multi-quoting from the iPhone Cruise Critic app is not possible? Or does someone know a way? I’m a noob, I know. Forgive me. If I can’t do multi-quote from the phone, I’ll just respond old-school ways with an “@username” type ordeal. *shrugs*

     

    Anyways. I wanted to mention up front that this is a multi-generation cruise (family-wise). I’ll have - of course - myself and Josh to report on, and then my FIL and his wife are in their 50’s, and then FIL’s father in law is also coming (FIL inception omg) and he’s in his... late 70’s? Early 80’s? He was stationed in Puerto Rico during a war - I cannot recall which - and has not returned since. So needless to say, he’s stoked to see the changes. Also, FIL’s wife’s daughter is coming too. She’s... late 20’s? Early 30’s? Here is the room break down:

     

    1. JS Hump 14th floor: Megan + Josh

    2. JS 14th floor: FIL (mine) + his wife

    3. Central Park Balcony 14th floor: FIL’s FIL and late 20-something year old.

     

    I think from here on out I’ll refer to my FIL’s wife as C, my FIL’s FIL as F^2, and C’s daughter as A.

     

    I know that’s confusing. I’m sorry. I never was good at math.

     

    Point being - we’ve got quite a few age groups here where I’d be happy to speak to their thoughts/ease of getting around/enjoyment of certain activities. Perspective is always something I like to read about. So if your 80- year old Nana is coming along for her first cruise and you want me to compare what F^2 is doing, let me know. I gotchyoo.

    Planning a cruise now for June on Allure for the Western itinerary. We will be a group of 15 to 20 of all ages. My mom is the oldest at 83. I want to know more about the balcony. Considering a Boardwalk Balcony for her so she can watch the action without leaving the cabin if she doesn't feel like it due to cancer.

    Pier M and Duval Loop Bus

    in Key West

    Posted

    When I checked the calendar it says we will dock at Pier M. Where is that located? Also we are trying to decide on what to do and see there is a free bus route - Duval Loop Bus. Has anyone does this? How close are the stops to the sights? Suggestions........

    Boston HOHO ~ which one? pros and cons

    in Canada/New England

    Posted

    There have been mixed reviews on the trolleys. Seems to be related to the day of the week, weather, and number of ships. I believe Old Town Trolley has a bigger fleet.

     

    You're going to be there on a Sat. There are 2 other ships in port (Veendam and Silver Whisper). Weather is looking good on Sat.

     

    What are your sightseeing objectives in Boston?

     

    Historical sights, Cheers, Old North Church, Freedom Trail

    We will be on her for the New England/Canada cruise this fall. We have a special needs daughter who will be traveling with us and loves to be involved. Can you find out if there are any limits on the bumper cars (can 2 ride in it together?) and the Ifly. She loves roller coasters so she will be all about suiting up.

     

    Thank you so much. This is a big help to my planning. Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

    Where is the Park Connection Express drop off in Seward?

    in Alaska

    Posted

    The FAQ says that the morning drop off point is at Windsong Lodge.

     

    In SEWARD if you take our afternoon service from Anchorage at 3:00 PM we will drop you off at the cruise ship terminal in Seward. If you choose to take our morning service we will take you to the Seward Windsong Lodge where you can relax and they will provide you a complimentary transfer you to the cruise ship terminal once they allow embarkation. The Seward Windsong Lodge is Seward's best lodge and they have an excellent restaurant which we recommend for lunch. Transfers over to the cruise ship terminal occur usually about 2pm.

     

    I don't see the harbor listed anywhere as a drop off point. To be safe, just call or email them for clarification.

     

    Is there more than one RCCL service from Anchorage on set sail day?
