I used to always carry my water bottle or 2 on board... with WATER in them and was never questioned. We all had to dump or drink the water this time. I haven't cruised since 2019, but it wasn't an issue then. I was surprised.

I live in Charleston and just happen to see this. The horse tours are not too far away from the cruise terminal. There are a few vendors. I've take a few. It's very interesting how they direct the horse traffic. lol. You will really enjoy them. There are no bus tours that I am aware of. The market is also near there and the whole downtown area is very walkable. You will have a delightful day. I will be very happy to answer any specific questions you may have.

I don’t know but I use the correct term of who I’m booking with. Be it Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, etc. I have to say I mostly use Airbnb to book properties though.

Got it! Thank you so much again.

Thank you SO much. You've been so helpful. I didn't even know there was a Babies and Tots section in the app. 🤦‍♀️

That's what I thought. Thank you for the info about the other activities though. That at least is something to do. How do you know when those times are? Should we visit there for a schedule or would that be in the Cruise Compass? I read about someone bringing a small inflatable pool and I thought that was a great idea for something to do too.

We are going on the Jewel in March. Traveling with a 2.5 year old. In very early stages of talking about potty training. Is there an Adventure Ocean program for that age? I didn''t think there was. I am the grandmother, and was just looking for things to do with her on the ship since the splash area is a no no unless she's a quick study in the potty department. Thank you for any and all information

Looking for a nice beach with amenities easily accessible with toddler. Is this possible. I read a few years back that there was sewage problem near the beach in town? That would be the easiest, but don't want to chance that. Traveling via car is tough with/without a car seat. Pinel Island looks like it might be nice, just not sure the best way to get there. TYIA

I can't even find restaurants on the app? Where are they listed? I looked under the restaurant tab but not pkgs on mine anyway>

Who do you call? I got through once to book an excursion, but didn't realize I could add my ds and dil. The price just went up plus I can't add them.

Me too!

Tried all that... even changed the password... Now I can at least log in but when I click on a cruise, all I get is

I can't even log in!! I suppose everyone is bombarding the website right now. Kind of like getting Taylor Swift tickets from TIcketmaster. 🤣

Thank you!!

Thank you. That looks like fun. 🙂

We are also taking a toddler next March. I was looking for. playgrounds and I think I found one near the fort but now I can't find the information. I am also interested things that might interest her.

Can someone tell me how the prices compare to last year? I am new to European cruising. We are doing a TA next October and I thought the rates were reasonable. These rates seem high to me. Also, is Europe like the Caribbean in that the cheapest rates are usually in the early release, though they will bounce around a little.

Anxiously awaiting....

Thank you so much for your responses. I really appreciate your insight.

Bless you!! That's awesome and so kind of you to post this. Thank you so much for the picture.

I unfortunately can't drink like I used to and even then I felt like I was overindulging just to get my money's worth. My ds and dil who, in their 20's, without children, and typical drinkers of that age, felt the same way.. On sea days it's not a problem. but on port days if you go ashore, you are really having to play catch up. The drink packages used to be cheaper and I loved not having to worry about the final bill then, now, even at $68/day + sc, too much for me. I would love the convenience, but know it's just not a wise idea. I'll stick to the beverage or water package and my free drinks. (I sure hope they don't quit that) I am amazed, reading through this thread, how much some of you can drink. No judgement, just saying I would've been passed out in a corner somewhere, even in my "heyday", LOL

LOL!! Thanks for the tip. Do they have DeCaf or just regular?

@Tree_skier me too!

What kind of specialty coffees can you get in the DL and is it on all ships? Is the regular coffee there pretty good too? I am D but was going to buy the bev pkg or the coffee card because I hate the coffee on the ship. I like a little stronger coffee and it always just tastes blah. Maybe I can get away from the coffee card too.

I can't thank you all enough for all these great tips, ideas and information. Hopefully this thread will also help others too. Happy Cruising!
