  1. They definitely start before Black Friday. So start checking mid to late November.
  2. We had priority tendering (first tender) and it still took sometime. Probably best you allowed some extra time to get where you're going. We go on this itinerary often and tendering time can and does vary.
  3. We spent 2 nights pre-cruise and it was a good value for us. Would definitely stay there again.
  4. For many years we have sailed in the JS (tub/shower combo being the reason). Last few years since retirement we now sail in (depending on RCI ship) the GS and more than likely the OS and have gotten some really good prices on them. We actually spend time in our cabin (done with the nightlife onboard) and so having it be more like a hotel room works best for us now.
  5. Our extended family really enjoyed our pre-cruise stay at Home2Suites. We used Cruise Control for our transportation.
  6. After you exit your tender and as you walk along the marina (on your right) when you come to a display of surfboards (standing upright) on your left walk just behind them to the street is where you'll find taxi cabs. USD will be fine to use...just know the price before you get in. Sorry no idea how much that will be. Hopefully someone else might and post for you. We were just on the Navigator in January again...Enjoy your cruise.
  7. We'll also be there. No plans other than to enjoy the town as we've also done excursions there on our past port stops. Not really concerned about it being "jammed" on this particular day.
  8. Usually it's the first stop and is where most people get off. The main pier in town...get off there.
  9. We always take a shared taxi (they fill up fast and usually hold about 8 people) from the taxi stand when going to Maho. $12.00pp round trip but we have them drop us off in town and water taxi back.
  10. We have a taxi driver take us to the end of the Malecon (by the bridge) and walk back then take a taxi back to the port. $5.00 pp that's cheap enough for us. We used to take the bus but now it seems sooo crowded.
  11. You could have booked this when the bookings opened. We booked our Europe 2024 cruise when it opened around Nov 2022.
  12. We always purchase the internet package. Usually the two device option. I wish it was included with suites and not just only on certain ships.
  13. No...A JS is a suite and you'll be able to board using the suite line.
  14. Just ask your cabin steward for an extension cord and distilled water if needed.
  15. Agree. We've always used a taxi (rate by zone) on our many trips to San Juan.
  16. If you decide you may want a private tour with a small group, check out Halifax Historical Titanic Tours with Paul McNeill...Just one of the best tours we've done. Highly Recommended !!
  17. If you use a vendor it will be based on a timeframe they will give you at each stop. Once you return you'll have plenty of time to walk around Sitka before taking the ship shuttle back to the port.
  18. No, you don't have to board together. Just print out a SetSail Pass for each of you.
  19. We have a GeoBlue annual policy and use The Trip Insurance Store to purchase a policy as an addition at times.
  20. We've made this flight time easily several times. We self disembark, grab a taxi and on our way.
  21. We usually stay at Hyatt Place (convention center) next to the Harbor Shopping center. A Publix market and shop[ and our favorite place to eat is Duffy's. Check pricing directly as a member with Hyatt or use ValueTrips.
  22. We've booked the Hampton Inn on International Blvd. for our October 2023 Canada NE cruise. Newly refurbished and we've always enjoyed this location.
  23. Just at these port stops in January and all took USD. We've cruised the Mexican Riviera many times over the years and have always used USD for the small purchases we make.
