$27.50 for Altun Ha and River Wallace in Belize and $18.69 for Barrier Reef Snorkel in Grand Cayman.
Please also post the competitor website or else what's the point..

why not just carry your US passport? You never know where it will be useful since you are traveling to foreign countries. What if you miss the ship or something and have to fly back? I always carry my CA drivers license and also my US passport.

I was in PR on a week vacation(non-cruise) with my wife and 9 yr old girl. We are not beach people but there are no beached walkable from the pier. In fact we stayed at Sheraton Old San Juan which is right across the cruise terminal. Our private guide on day 4 took us to Luquillo Beach which was great but far from cruise terminal. You can still do a quick 30 minute visit if you want but not worth that much time.

Okay I am a frugal guy but I will be carrying some cash with me for emergency and other outside excursions which accepts only cash. Plus the fact that we are flying from L.A to FLL the previous day so cash may be required anywhere.
To keep it short, I want to know which banks have ATMs in W Caribbean itinerary which doesn't or charges the least in convenience fees if I have to use it.
To give you a background, we carried less cash during our Puerto Rico trip in december and we needed cash a couple of times and I paid through my nose to withdraw money from local branches. I just want to avoid that situation.

Was that their decision or is there an age limit for climbing up? If so, what is the limit?
Its my decision. I just don't want any mishap when they walk up. Anyway we will see how easy or tough is the climb up ..

We just did this on our dream cruise It was really a great tour remember carnival price matches too and there is a web site that offers same tour 15 pp less.
Can you please give me link to the competitor website? I tried twice to price match and it was declined saying the competitor had the tour 30 minutes less.
Other who say the tour is too long - I am honestly taking this tour cos its long and it drives you from the East coast of Belize to the Western border with Guatemala. Apart from just seeing these ruins, I get to see the real Belize and that I think is worth the money.

How big is the bottle and how much is cost at the liquor shop in Grand Cayman?

Hey everyone,
We're leaving in 9 (jump up and wiggle wiggle... Single digits whooooo!) days with 3 yo ds. I'm thinking the turtle farm and hell. Curious about taxis. Are they in the same directions? Which should we hit first, I'm thinking Hell cause I know ds will get dirty/wet with the turtles? What should be the approx cost for the taxi? Will I have a problem getting a taxi back? Is it worth it to haggle with the excursion guys at the pier, or just do it alone?
If there is an excursions I should consider instead please let me know.. I'm open to suggestions as well (but I just don't think ds would be up for the stingrays this time around).
Thank you!!!!
Just yesterday, I booked the Stingray, Hell and Turtle farm Carnival excursion for 5 of us. The price seems to be comparable to what others offer.

On Conquest for the W Carib cruise on april 6.

I have never understood why people buy alcohol from ports or foreign countries or duty free shops(which is BS). I live in L.A and souther CA has so many options to buy alcohol at great deals..like Costco, BevMo, Vons or Ralphs etc.. I have never found alcohol cheaper outside the SO CA area. Can someone give me an example where alcohol is really cheap?

This thread is for posting successful BRG for Carnival cruise excursions. This way we have one thread to go to to see if we can save some money(and get it in OBC) on any excursions we have booked so far.

A little dramatic don't you think? I get the concept of not introducing a pest, but that means the food on the ship is potentially harboring a pest? Really? That doesn't sound right.
Does anyone think the real reason the ports don't want you to bring food off the ship is to make sure you spend money on food in their country?

You got it right..Thats precisely the point. The whole pest thing is BS. You know if you can inject fear into people, you can control them. Thats what is happening to most folks here in the US.
-
Yes that it the one I used.
I tried this twice and Carnival refused my claims saying the other tour is less by 30 minutes..***..

Does Conquest have the 2.0 upgrades?

I did the manatee swim and it was the best. I went to Chankanaab on my own and I was the only one in the pool with them. They let me stay as long as I wanted. I say when a 900lb animal grabs your leg and begs for lettuce, give it to him. The guides were very informative and the animals are well cared for.
Good to know. Can you let me know how to got to Chankanaab from pier? We will be in carnival in April so I am guessing it will be Puerto Maya dock.
-
I am thinking I will skip the Discover Mexico park and head with family in a taxi directly to Chankanaab. Me and daughter are interested in doing the zip line inside the park..anyone done this before?
We are 5 people(4 adults,1 kid) and assuming its about $12 in one taxi to the park...anyone recently done this?
-
And yes, depending on your fitness condition and the heat, you could walk. It's further than 500 yards though. Maybe 1.5 km to actual entrance, plus walking from ship and through port shopping area. I don't recall the condition of the sidewalks, if any past Puerta Maya, but would highly suggest you cross the road at PM before turning right and walking down. You might inquire with DM about any shuttle service they may have to and from the pier. I believe they still offer discounts to Chankanaab Park and a shuttle service to there (it's about 3 km further down).
Thanks for info...anyone else has any comments? Is DM worth over Chankanaab or should I do both?

Carnival uses the Puerto Maya terminal and DISCOVER MEXICO park is only 500 yards per this website http://www.puertamaya.com/shore-excursions/discover-mexico.aspx .
Since its so close, we would just walk to the park from the terminal than get Carnival excursion? The http://www.discovermexico.org/default.asp also has a $5 off entrance fee which I don't know how much is it...anyone?

In my party of 5, 3 are vegetarians and 1 is diabetic. I was thinking I should pack some food from the restaurants(breakfast) in the morning when we go out for excursions...Just some fruits, snack or a sandwich. Is taking food to go from the restaurants a taboo?
