Rented a clamshell last week and loved it...no heat issues.  They were in high demand, so suggest you book advance of boarding.  Some people were very disappointed.  The attendant was great, set up our clamshell, clean sand off chairs.  If you are not renting a clamshell, bring a small towel to brush off chairs, the sand is very fine and clings to chairs.

Just back from our cruise and can confirm the Three Amigos Tour works awesome!  Thanks @AlohaLivin for all your good work!  We had a fabulous day.

@lambcom  thanks.  I have never been to either airport.  I will be departing first time from Miami on return, any tips to share?

@LAMBCOM does your comment apply to the Ft Lauderdale or MAIMI Airport?

@bEwAbG  Awesome...thank you!

@regnig   Am indeed on the  Nieuw Statendam. (Excited!).  Thanks for the great info.

Thanks everyone for your comments and alternative suggestions.  Safety first!

@DFWGUYZ thanks!

Concerned about the number of outlets in our stateroom.  Power bar would certainly make life easier but I was not sure if they were allowed.  Any advice would be appreciated.  Also can you use a standard plug in nightlight in the bathroom shaver outlet?  Thanks.

Returning to HAL after a few years away, two star Mariner...three by end of the cruise.  Can I enjoy lunch in the MDR on boarding?  Any idea what time cabin access will be available to drop off carryon bags?  Thanks.

Can anyone advise if the following are within walking distance from Old port dock..

Patchouli on Cristo Street

Ole on Fortaleza Street

Mi Rincon on Cristo Street

Mi Pequeno San Juan on Calle Cristo Street

I have no idea if these are restaurants or stores, they are “stops” my travel partner hopes to find.  Any directions would be most appreciated..or views on wether they are worth perusing in limited time in San Juan.  Thanks!

@LittleYiaYia   Awesome!  Thank you.

@LittleYiaYia   Any good shopping in the immediate area?  Artisan markets?  I could use that as an incentive to convince my partner the uphill walk is “worth it”. Ha ha!

@LittleYiaYia Thank you...I believe we are at the closest dock so walking should work!

@LittleYiaYia  is the restaurant walking distance from the ships dock (on HAL )....any easy directions you can share?

@JustinPlusLauren can you advise how one pays for kayak rentals?  Cash or can you charge to ship room account?

@Ms411   Thank you.  Will bookmark for future use!

@O2B cruzin  Thank you... new to me.  Am I correct you just “flag” it down when wishing to board or does it have designated stops?

@jb008  thank you, I had not even considered the heat and luggage exposure.  Good points!

@VennDiagram.....sneaky...I like it!  Thanks🤔

@coevan “You can hop on a $2 Safari bus if you don't want to walk. “

What is a “Safari bus”... like a Ho -Ho bus ...hop on hop off...one ticket price?

Does the ships Champagne Cat tour have a place you can change to dry clothing for return trip after snorkeling?

@Djsmrs Do most catamarans have a place to change Into dry clothes for return home?  We are looking at taking ships Champagne Catamaran tour.

On Statandam this November, can anyone advise me where she will dock or a website that would show this info?

Well that would be worse case scenario.  Sounds like best plan is to give bottle to DH prior to departure and then retrieve from luggage on arrival and carry on board.  Thanks again for the advice.
