Hi! We are porting at Progreso next month. It's been years since we were there last. Do they still have the double decker bus tour? If so, can you tell me the per person cost? There are 7 of us, so I would like to be prepared. Thanks so much!

We were on the Elation and went into Freeport this past Sunday. There are a few excursions from Carnival- beach day (Taino beach), sailing, snorkeling or diving. We thought that the excursions from Carnival would be super crowded so we chose to go own our own to Paradise Cove and Deadman's Reef and it was very nice. Only 15 people total there! There was a lot of beach erosion but they are working hard to get things back up and running. The snorkeling there was very nice from the beach- lots to see and water clarity was good. https://deadmansreef.com/ They also have video updates on fb. It was our driver's first day back to work in over 5 weeks! Everyone we met were happy that the cruises are coming back- jobs and money back into the economy. The driver said that Port Lucaya Marketplace might be up and running next week. It will depend on when you go how many more offerings that Carnival will have.

Thank you so much for the update! We sail next month and were wondering if it would be worth the trip to Paradise Cove. Your review will help us tremendously!

Thanks for your review. We set sail on the Glory in November!

We are heartbroken for the people of the Bahamas! 

We'll be on the Glory in November! I'm looking forward to your review! The WWII Museum pics are awesome! Thanks for sharing them!

We are considering booking a day there, as well, so I'm quite interested in hearing about everyone's experiences!

Since you can't get a refund at this point, and they might try to charge you even more for just one person in the other cabin if you tried to, perhaps you can ask for a duplicate door key or two and just let your group sleep where they want to?

I take mine in the weekly containers, but bring my bottles with the remaining meds, as well. You never know if you may be a day or two late getting home....and I'm one of those crazy over-preparers! LOL!

We're sailing on the Glory for the first time in November, so I'm really enjoying and appreciating all of your helpful info and tips! Please keep them coming!

We've been in a cabin by the elevators and stairs and had no problem with noise, other than the typical loud people walking by, which can happen in any room. I'd go for it!

Thanks for your informative review! We will sail on the Glory in November, so we would love to have pics of your Fun Times. My email is cyoung61@yahoo.com. Again, many thanks!

I'm enjoying your review and photos! We set sail on the Glory on our 40th anniversary in November, so we're looking forward to the rest of your review!

This will be our first cruise to Key West and the Bahamas. A couple of us would like to go snorkeling. Any suggestions for Freeport or Nassau?

Also, what beach do you prefer at each of these ports? Thanks!

Hi! A couple of people in our group want to snorkel. Would Banana Bay be a good place for this?

We live a couple of hours from Galveston. Our daughter and son-in-law stayed at the Motel 6 there about 4 years ago. They said they wouldn't stay there again. There are several nice places to stay in Galveston though. When are you sailing?

I was going to order some of this for our DD7. We are going on a catamaran trip and I'm worried the sea might be a bit choppy.

I have found the MotionEaze at my local Walmart.

We just got our cabin assignment (BA balcony) and it was a slight upgrade, but it is a "connecting cabin" with the cabin next door. This is on the Jade. Is this a bad thing?

Celebrity has external connecting cabins and so it's not a big deal. Does the cabin have internal connecting doors that are not sound proof? What is your experience?

 

Thanks!

Kel:)

Hi Kel! We'll be on the Jade with you! We've only had connecting cabins on Carnival ships, but they were never a problem. We didn't hear anything louder than what we've heard in non-connecting cabins. I think we have a connecting balcony room this time, as well. Maybe we'll be next to you....it's all good....we're pretty quiet....lol!

Thanks, LocalTracks! We usually just drink the water from the tap, as well. I'm just spoiled and like to keep a bottle of water by the bed, so I don't have to get up to get a drink....lol!

Thanks for replying!

WOW!!!!! I thought I read somewhere that a 6 pack was more like $3.99! YIKES! I sure appreciate you sharing this important information with me! I'll definitely be bringing my own! LOL!

Any idea on how or where we can purchase the bottled water packages?

I have fairly severe motion sickness (watching a train go by, swinging, watching a merry go round, etc.). I take one Bonine each morning and evening, starting the evening before we sail, and have never gotten seasick on a cruise, even in the middle of a hurricane! The Motionease oil works quite well, too!

Enjoy your cruise!

I'm loving your review! Can you tell me where to find the rest of it?

I don't think you're a grumpy old man...simply one who has an opinion and shares it beautifully! Thanks for the review so far!

Here's a link to my review of our mid-January cruise on the Jade. I tried to be as fair and honest as possible.

Oh maaaan! I only saw through Cozumel morning posted! Can you tell me where I can find the rest of your awesome review?

OP - you are basically asking us to do your research for you. Grab some guides, read some forums and then come back and ask some questions. All of us who have been to that side of the Caribbean have things we like and things we avoid.

 

Lots of people like Victor Boden in Roatan, I don't, nothing that he offers interests me. Others like LFK, again I don't.

 

You need to figure out what you want and then ask us specifics so that we can give meaningful responses.

zqvol, we've done a tour of Roatan with Victor Bodden twice and loved it both times. We leave in 11 days and would like to do something different this time. I've considered LFK, but we aren't sure it's for us. What do you like to do in Roatan?
