Ok, fair point, but 2025 is widely open, why is Alaska so different?

RCL has bookings open into 2026 for other cruises, but Alaska 2025 has not opened yet. Any idea, from past experience when it will?

TIA

I have not been on Celebrity - exploring ships now. I don't see Jameson or any Irish Whiskey on either list - how is that possible?

They do NOT do the first for you... they ONLY book a time slot and you still have to pick a place when you get on board.  I just spent over an hour with RCL trying to get an answer on why I can see a UDP booking for Day 1 (August 5th sailing) of a time BUT no place?  They confirmed that only the slot is reserved and you still have to pick a place when u get on board.

Damn, it was so much easier when u could prebook everything before the cruise... Shows too! 

In my Cruise planner it shows me booked for Chops, 8 pm, 1st night.

looking at other pictures - are these the "tables" at Lime Out Taco Boat?

I received an email from Trip Advisor to plan my St. Thomas excursion, and one is a boat tour around St. Johns, with lunch at Lime Out Taco Boat - what are the yellow couch boats and  how do I get one? They look amazing 

We had Alaska booked for September 2020 and 2021 and kept pushing it - we decided we don't want a smaller ship (RCL Serenade) in cooler weather so we moved it to our home port, Port Canaveral, Harmony, October 30th. Very excited - love the ship and Perfect Day.

The price I mentioned is for two people (per cabin), not per person.

Oh that's good! I look at it per person since that's how Royal quotes it, but I get it since everyone in the cabin of age has to get it.

Is there somewhere we can see when drink packages are discounted before we book the cruise? 

 

We have found a Royal Caribbean cruise we really like but the cost of the drink package is holding us back.  

Book it - you can cancel the drink package and rebuy it as you see better prices. Our October 30 on Harmony shows $69.99 and I'll pay that, but it will be lower. You just have to watch

RCI has perpetual “sales” and prices can change daily - figure somewhere between $100 and $120 per day (assuming two of you) + 18%. 

Wow what cruise is that on? Right now my October 30th is $69.99 - our last cruise I got it for $49. 

There is so much to do at the Good Hope Estate, and even the thrill seekers excursion DCL offers is only 3.5 hours? That doesn't seem like much time.

Take Disney transportation from the airport—they send you special luggage tags and your bags magically appear in you cabin!

You can buy them online! The styles will be limited on the ship and there are sooo many! I got my pirate Minnie ears on eBay

It is in Cocoa Beach, not CC—about 4 miles south, 2 blocks off the beach near Ron Jon’s. Cape Canaveral has a Country Inn & Suites, Radisson (older but great pool with grotto and pool, pool bar), Residence Inn, and new Homewood Suites. I work in CC and happy to give you info about restaurants and things to do.

There are also counter service food court places out near the pool deck—and self serve soft ice cream

Our favorite Caribbean cruise itinerary is from San Juan on RCCL to Aruba, Curaçao, Dominica, St Martin. Our favorite cruise line is Disney—headed on their Eastern itinerary on Fantasy over Halloween!

I work right there. If you are Hilton Honors, there’s a new Homewood Suites, for Marriott, a Residence Inn. Then there’s a Country Inn & Suites, and the Radisson. All are within a mile or so of the Port Canaveral cruise terminals in Cape Canaveral. There is also great casual waterfront dining with fresh seafood in the Port—Grills’s, Fish Lips, Rising Tide, Seafood Atlantic.

The Appleton Rum Factory is at least a 2 hour drive (each way) from any of the major ports in Jamaica (Mo Bay, Ocho Rios, or Falmouth). We have gone there twice and it is a very nice tour (land based vacations, not cruises). Nice tour, unlimited free tastings.

 

There is The Hamden Rum Company which is fairly close to Falmouth. We haven't gone there yet.

 

Local food - hard to go wrong with Scotchie's, Pork Pit, or Miss T's Kitchen.

I was just looking at it--it's spelled Hamden Distillery.

How far from the Port are the eateries you recommend?

skhThis is my home port -- I can see the ships from my office and I've been on Premier Cruise (wow remember them?!) Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Disney. Our last Disney departure was by far the smoothest of any cruise. As noted, the ship arrived late that day. Sounds like a bad day--this is a great Port

I work two doors down. They just began construction in the past month--the outer walls are in place--the entire 6 stories is concrete block with steel studs. I'm putting in a standing reservation for hurricane stays!

I noticed this week they are not open--yesterday was my latest trip past there. There is a sign on the door but haven't driven in to read it. Could bd vacation but doubt it--I read yesterday that July is our second biggest tourist month. They seemed to have lost momentum when they moved. They weren't a local dive anymore. But seriously, people come to Florida in July--on purpose?!

I live near Cocoa Beach--my company frequently uses Residence Inn, Radisson, Country Inn and Suites and International Palms. The first three are not waterfront--but Intl Palms is a huge resort with a lot of differently configured rooms. It is in Cocoa Beach proper but only a couple miles south. It is an old Holiday Inn Complex and somewhat dated but clean and friendly. They have a great outside bar on the ocean and great pool/playground.
