Is the sailing choppy during the winter months on the trip down?
This link will give you offshore marine forecasts for the east coast.
Wind speed, wind direction, and wave heights (no temperature).
http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/zone/wrdoffmz.htm
The closer to your departure date you check this, the more accurate
the forecast will be. You'll get an idea of how rough/calm it will be before
you get out on the ocean.

It's been a few years since I did the snorkel excursion at Labadee.
Poor visibility, not too many fish, and the water depth in some spots
had you uncomfortably close to the reef.
I've been back to Labadee since, but have not and will not ever pay
to snorkel there again.

Have someone wait in your designated disembarkation group area while someone else keeps your toddler occupied in another part of the ship. You will be allowed to wander. Stay in touch by cell phone, and when your group is called to disembark, meet up and disembark.
....or, request self disembarkation and leave with that group.
....or, request self disembarkation, but leave the ship at a later time. They will let you off the ship without a problem (but this method has it's critics among cruisers).
Having done all of the above, I prefer self disembarkation as the first group off of the ship.
Just remember, one of the dangers of counting on an early flight is the ship may not get back to port as scheduled for various reasons, and the ship may take longer than normal to get clearance from CBP before disembarkation begins. Not too likely, but these things happen.

This is a good idea, I'm not critical of it, however, it works as long as you are comfortable breathing through your snorkel with your nose exposed to water and don't plan on going deeper than the surface, or you will experience "squeeze" in the goggles and may pop a few eyeball capillaries.Use goggles that don't cover his noseA properly fitting mask (most likely one that you own and bring with you), a trimmed mustache, and some vaseline is your best bet if you don't/can't do the goggle thing.

I did a mini review of an Xrails excursion that I did in 2/2011. Here is a link. My review is Post #5.

I saw that and skimmed through the posts prior to linking it. I don't have kids in Adventure Ocean anymore, but I do cruise with people that do. It
is more or less the same from what I can tell.
The only thing that never changes is that things always change.;)

More stories about people immediately calling after discovering things had been left in the cabin. Told everything was turned in to L&F in Florida. Called Florida, no items.
Exactly what happened to me! VERY disappointed with RCI Lost and Found procedures.
It's nice to see the OP is making an effort to reunite the lost item with it's owner. More than what RCI did for me.

Several years ago, had some time to kill after a cruise. Took RCI transportation to Tampa Airport, rented a car, went to a movie, then chain restaurant for food. Kids were happy=parents were happy! Went back to airport, dropped off car, flew home. Everyone Happy!!!

I came up with 2 seperate web sites (see the links) that indicate parking at Cape Liberty is run by "Central Parking."
http://www.cruiseliberty.com/dirpark.htm
If you go to their web site and search for parking at Cape Liberty, you won't find anything. I tried calling their 800 number (800-836-6666) today
(Sunday) but they are closed on weekends. I suggest you try contacting
them during the week to see if they operate the parking right at the pier and ask them about your motorhome.
FOS Grand Cayman tendering question
in Cayman Islands
Posted
.....so I tried the search function here on Cruise Critic and it doesn't seem to be working.
I'm trying to plan a shore excursion in Grand Cayman not through the cruise line. I'm trying to get an idea of when "rush hour" is off the FOS when it is tendering in Grand Cayman. I'd like to know in reality when I could expect to get to shore without any priorty tendering as my shore excursion will not be through the cruise line.
Time in port is scheduled to be 8x4.
