Palancar Beach....we love it!

Morning. We are usually out of the cabin early and out of their way. We aren't always out of the cabin when they would do the evening service.

Loved the review! I'm so glad that you got off the ship in Progreso and didn't take other people's negative reviews to heart! I also love that you volunteered at the Humane Society.Did you contact them ahead of time or did you just show up? I will have to look into that for the next time we are in Cozumel!

Great review...I LOVE the pictures. I am curious how you managed to take a 24 pack of water on on board with you?

Take the stairs...you get a little bit of exercise and it's faster than the elevator! Also, I try to walk the track every night...I sneak in more exercise and have gorgeous scenery to look at while I do it!

and NOLA doesn't really block anyone from entering the terminal before their scheduled time. Things are moving so fast and smooth they have room to let everyone in.

 

They were stopping people from entering when we were there in May. We watched numerous people being told that they had to wait until their check in time.

We took the trip with Captain Marvin last November.  There were about 12-14 people on the boat.  Overall the trip was great.  The boat crew were very good, friendly and pointed out a lot of the island to us as we sailed out to stingray city and the snorkeling stops.  The boat was spacious for the guests on board.

 

I can't speak wo Moby Dick at all, but I would book again with Captain Marvin.

I am glad to hear this because we are booked with Captain Marvin's for our trip in May!

As long as you don't plan to hook up with any drug cartels, you will be fine. Use your common sense and be aware of your surroundings.

10 cruises and we have never experienced anything like that. It is rare.

Thanks for the review! I will be on the Glory for the first time in 87 days and I can't wait!

88 very long days!

I bring my Nook. Multiple books without taking up a lot of space.

When does online check in normally open?

About 3 ish months before your cruise date. You should be able to get your actual date from the Carnival website.

We are cruising out of NOLA.

They were turning away people who were early last May when we were in NOLA. They were super strict...as they should be.

You get to pick your check in time. Just show up at that time. Pretty simple. 

We have stayed on Deck 1 many times with no problems. You will be fine.

Our children are a little. Typically in hotels one of them sleeps in each bed with one of us with them. We planned to do the same on the ship. 

You are going to put two people in a twin bed?

Thank you for the replies!

We usually meet someone from our area (the bootheel of Missouri) on every ship. The conversations usually start because one of us is wearing a school shirt.

If you have an 11:30 check in, don't plan on getting in the building any earlier than that. When we were in NOLA in May, they were checking boarding passes and turning away early people.

We carry our luggage off the ship and we were off the Dream before 8:00.

Are the public buses fairly easy to flag down (specifically from 7 Mile Beach)  or do we need to be at a specific bus stop?

Work keeps me pretty busy. Other than that, I spend a lot of time here and on Facebook cruising groups! 

Why would (or should) Carnival reimburse you because you got the flu? It's not like they caused it. Carnival doesn't owe you anything. However, if you did have insurance, it may reimburse you for the medical bills.

I got a stomach bug and experienced some pretty bad motion sickness on my first cruise and I got off the ship thinking that I would never go on another cruise. Well, that lasted all of a few days and we booked another one a few months later. Getting ready to go on #11 in May!

I feel that Cozumel is super safe and we have never had any trouble with any cab drivers, or renting a car for the day and exploring the island on our own. That being said, just be aware of your surroundings, just like you should be no matter where you are.
