  1. My husband and I were on the Island Princess in December for a Panama Canal cruise (15 days). The first few days were sea days and I wanted to read my book for a while. It was kind of chilly on the balcony so I sat in the desk chair. It wasn’t comfortable but the only other place was the bed. Something didn’t feel right but it wasn’t until I found this thread that I realized what was wrong. No barrel chair!! I really missed it! We did have the little table which we used for Patters, water bottles, setting up for the next day excursion., etc. We kept the garbage can under the table.

     

    We have a cruise scheduled in April in Japan on the Diamond Princess. Those cruises are different so I will make it a point to check the furniture. I will be bringing in a balcony chair and/or the teeny balcony table if needed. We have 2 Princess cruises booked in 2020 and may reconsider. We are Platinum, btw.

  2. We booked a private tour with Odyssey Tours in Puntarenas during our Panama Canal tour. We were met as scheduled and boarded an air conditioned van. Carlos the tour guide and Herman the driver did a wonderful job. The itinerary was not followed exactly and when we returned to the ship we found out why - there had been a demonstration by the fishermen. Many of the ship’s tours were canceled or shortened and others were stuck on a bus for a couple of hours.

     

    We were not adversely affected at all and loved Costa Rica. I highly recommend Odyssey Tours.

  3. We booked a private tour with Dora in December and had a wonderful time. We were met at the scheduled time and boarded an air conditioned van. She mentioned she likes to do the tours early in day before it gets too hot! Cartagena is a beautiful city and we enjoyed our tour.

  4. Good news. Heard back from Mike and we have Gerry booked for the day we are in Cozumel. Can't wait for this trip.

     

    My husband and I just returned from a western Caribbean cruise and we had booked Gerry for our day in Cozumel. We started by stopping at Los Cinco Soles for some shopping. We did a quick tour through some of the beach resorts and then went to the San Gervasio ruins. After that, we headed towards the east side of the island stopping for photo opportunities and finally a quick lunch at Rastas at Gerry's recommendation.

     

    He was standing at the head of the taxi line when we disembarked, just like Mike's instructions said and he was very professional and courteous. His English language skills are excellent and the car was safe and well-maintained with seat belts. I can highly recommend Gerry.
