Hmmm...How nice would it be to have some San Pedro to Hawaii sailings...just saying !

Nay...safe but that's not the point now. Prior to covid we used to take the bus (across from Walmart) from the cruise port to the Malacon. Now our last two port stops there (as recently as 2 weeks ago) we took a taxi shuttle ($5.00 pp) they were lined up just outside the new PV terminal...lot's of cruisers doing this as the shuttles hold about 8 people. When you want to return just hail down a taxi to get back to the port...again $10.00.

Really? I just booked Navigator onboard Serenade for her 9 nighter Feb 23-Mar 3 2024. Oops..my bad I booked Explorer not Navigator.

When is Navigator going into drydock? Also does anyone know when Explorer will be doing hers?

What/when is the next RCI booking schedule to be released?

Book two cabanas under your reservation on the cruise planner. Go to shore excursions the day you board there should be no problem getting them next to each other as cabanas aren't pre-assigned before boarding (usually a day or two before arriving at Coco Cay). If you're in a suite reply to your concierge letter that you'll get a week before sailing and they can take care of this request for you. With fourteen people and the price spread out among the adults I would hope that isn't a problem. If you decide to forget the cabana idea you should all get there to "claim" your loungers in whatever area you decide would work for you. Just a thought I believe kids under 3 may not be counted for cabana occupancy also if you rent two waterpark cabanas those under 3 are free. Check this option out if it applies to you.

I would imagine they do. Yes...cross over to stand on the outer median. The only vehicle that uses the curbside lane are bus's like Flyaway & LAX-IT etc....watch your step as you cross.

Our Alaska cruise on Serenade A couple of weeks ago the pools were crowded. We were also just on Serenade Panama Canal and the first time at least for us that the Solarium roof was opened...so extremely humid I think was the reason.

We've always gotten pretty close to Hubbard Glacier on our 5 Alaska cruises (lucky I guess)...We were on RCI Serenade last month Sept 18-24 and apparently we were able to get the closest it's gotten this whole season.

Any other port stops? Gold Rush Dog Tours is a great option in Juneau.

Call Corey at Cruise Control to get specific info for what you need. 888 416-8830

Just remember "curbside" pickup at LAX is across on the outer curb...and it's a traffic mess. Have been there a couple of times in the last month as recently as a few days ago.

And they are a wonderful transportation company...would highly recommend them.

We've been to this port many times over the years. However last week we were surprised at the new terminal RCI Serenade used. It was like walking through a very high end shopping mall. Very disappointed at this what some might consider an upgrade. To us it lost the charm the city offers. Why can't somethings be left alone or at least not completely overdone !!!

We along with others from our roll call used Tours By Locals.

Agree...Paul is one of the best tour guides we've had regardless of locations. I recommend him as often as I can.

Just cruised out of San Pedro (Oct 2nd) and no one seemed to care about much now at all.

We just (yesterday Oct 9th) did an amazing tour with "Thumbs Up Tours".

Just park at the San Pedro port...easy and it's a very large lot...getting a space isn't a problem..you may be surprised since people are coming and going look for something up close you might be surprised.

Children 14 and under must be accompanied by a paying adult to enter Thrill Water Park.

Try Cruise Control...Our extended family used this amazing company this past April. 888 416-8830...Corey the owner couldn't be more helpful.

So it only applies to those early birds...Not sure what the shuttles we saw a couple of weeks ago then were doing???

This is correct....and will include those traveling with you on the reservation booked with your card.

We were on Navigator this past January and had no problem with Voom Surf/Stream...We even used our Firestick to watch movies. However...this can vary depending on a lot of factors....just because you get a good satellite signal at times it can change.

I'm also on the Panama Canal 13 nights cruise Oct 2nd San Pedro-Tampa. I'm going to play it safe and use the proctored (Binex) tests we already have on hand and print out the hard copies. Doing them tonight. Not going to take a chance on anything else. JMHO
