We are hoping to hear reviews from anyone who has been to Puntarenas, Costa Rica and done Celebrity's "Combination Original Canopy Tour, Jungle Horseback Ride And Crocodile Boat Tour" #CR79.

Hello, O.P. You might do better with this question over in the Costa Rica threads:

 

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=198

 

I did an excursion with the aerial tram ride, zip lining and the river (crocodiles) tour, and LOVED it! (We set it up privately, rather than a ship's excursion.)

 

I'd say check the link above, and I'll bet you find all the information you want. :)

Would like to know what the name of the tour operator was for this tour, please?

We had one just below the outdoor bar and it drove us crazy with loud voices and scraping chairs. It was such a shame because the balcony is huge with 2 lounge chairs, dining table and 4 chairs but it was never peaceful. One mid level would be better.

Thank you for all the suggestions, I really appreciate it!

We are wanting to rent a car for the 2 days we're docked off the coast of Lahaina. However when I called the rental car agency they didn't know of any overnight parking lots in the town. Hoping someone can help me with recent overnight parking experiences and cost in Lahaina.

Thanks

We are booked into AQ cabin 9044 on the Infinity in Panama Canal. After reading the CC Cabin review of deck 9, I am concerned about the overhead noise from deck 10 with the solarium and pool. Last year we sailed on the Summit and had an aft cabin with the outdoor bar above and the scraping of chairs drove us crazy!

I am hoping that someone who may have stayed in that cabin or any surrounding ones would be able to let me know how it was. I am considering upgrading to deck 11 :)

Hi Harry,

Loving this review. We sail tomorrow on the Allure and we're super excited about it and have picked up lots of tips from you, thank you.

We're thinking of buying shares in RCL and I see you have done so too. As an accountant have you found this a good investment? Perks? OBC?

Specifically I am wanting a copy of the Compass daytime activities for Falmouth and Cozumel. We sail next Sunday and don't know whether to book an excursion or stay onboard. Knowing in advance what is offered will hopefully help with the decision making. :p

Harry, I have enjoyed your review. Could you post a copy of the Compass onboard daytime activities for Falmouth, please. We are sailing next Sunday and haven't decided whether to book a beach day or just stay onboard. Knowing in advance what activities are offered will hopefully help with the decision making. Thank you in advance....Cindy

Trainman-2: I have loved reading your daily posts and viewing your wonderful photos. We are sailing on the Allure on Jan. 25th and are really excited because of ur blog, thank you so much! If you have a chance this week, could you post the compass for each of the day and evening activities please? :)

We are sailing on Allure Western Caribbean on Jan 25th and wondering if anyone has the daily compasses from the Jan. 11th sailings that they could scan for us? Also still struggling with what to do in Falmouth for the day. We are looking for a beach day but don't want to spend lots of money (ie: 140.00 per person). Contemplating the Red Stripe Beach day offered by RCL for $30.00 per person but would love some current feedback. :D

cruising on the allure jan 25 and looking for a nice resort close to the Flamouth POrt...... i like upscale but hubby likes organized activities (volleyball) ..any suggestions? prices?

Hi jenjack, we are also cruising on allure jan 25th and are looking for a nice resort close to Falmouth port. Have you found anything promising outside of the Red Stripe Beach for 30.00 per person offered by RCL?

Just wondering if Rita's Fiesta is included as 1 of the specialty bookings to get the discounts?

Did this in 2012 with DH and DD and it was a blast! Booked directly with them through their website. One important tip, don't be silly like me and wear flip flops to do this event. :eek:

readytolose Thanks for the reply, that's definately how I will order it. After all the Christmas food I've eaten I don't need the extra calories of whipped cream on my January sailing :p:)

Is an after dinner "special coffee" (ie: Bailey's Coffee) with whipped cream included in the Premium Package or just the Ultimate? :confused:

Right now, DH and I are booked into the stand-up comedy at 7:30pm. I just read on CC that there is a "family friendly" show and an "adult show". Seeing as it is just the two of us (no kiddies) and we always enjoy a little adult humor should we rebook for the later show??? :p

A few weeks ago, we booked a category "x" guaranteed ocean view balcony for Allure on Jan. 25th 2015 and today we were assigned a D7 balcony cabin. It took 2 1/2 weeks from booking and we're 5 1/2 weeks away from sailing. We're very happy with the deck and location and saved over $700.00 for the 2 of us! :D

My hubby only drinks beer that is why I was wondering what drinks were included. Sounds like fun. I don't see it listed under dining options. How do I go about booking it? We are going over New Years.

I was able to book this through the onboard activities tab for my January 2015 cruise

We are just back to our hotel room in Venice after doing a wonderful "pub crawl" with Alessandro Schezzini this evening. He came highly recommended by Rick Steve's and it was a great night. We did his 1.5 hour walking tour of "off beat" Venice for 15€ each and then continued on with the pub crawl. He took us to 3 bars (1 was actually drinking in the lane way outside the bar, too fun!) and wine and appetizers were served at each stop for 30€ more each. The evening started at 4:30pm and our group of 14 ended up staying for another round.:) Fun night for 45€ !

I have been in Venice for 27 hours now and have gotten 5 fresh new bites! Dusk seems to be the worst time... Oh we'll, I can put up with the itching & scratching as this city is spectacular!

Hello,

Could you tell me what time the disembark started for passengers ending in Rome?

They responded to me within 24 hours, just a few days ago. Here is their email: info@saintjohn.gr.

Here is a copy of what they sent to me.

PACKAGE 1: 80euro per person

Breakfast & Massage

Unlimited use of the sunbeds next to the swimming pool or to the beach, Jacuzzi, gym and shower.

A back massage for 25minutes to our “Aphrodite” Spa Center* (arrange the appointment at least one week ago)

PACKAGE 2: 70euro per person

Breakfast & Lunch

4 course dinner(from HB menu)

PACKAGE 3:

Mykonos Island Tour 3 hours. You explore Mykonos island. 2 pax 170 euro

Packages include the transfers upon arrival/departure from/to port:

Would VAT tax also be added to this package on the Epic in the Mediterrean? If so, is it 10%?

I have read that NCL charges $10.00 for currency exchanges onboard. However, I am wondering if they will charge me the $10.00 fee to cash a USD travelers cheque for USD Cash? I want to take traveler cheques, as my bank doesn't charge for them, and will need to cash them onboard to use in the casino and for tipping.
