Does anyone know which dock the Royal will dock at in St. Thomas, Havensight or Crown Bay? I'm on the 1/9/18 sailing.

I saw your post and did a quick Google search and I think this may be the website that you're looking for.

I was having trouble the other day and cleared my browser history and was then able to do what I needed on the website.

For private tours we usually figure 10% of tour price for guide and if you have a separate driver 5% for them. If you're on group tours, $20-$30 USD (converted)/person for guide and $10-$15 USD for driver. I got the XE currency app to convert. It makes it easy to calculate what you'll need for each country's currency.

I see now that Oasis is leaving out of Port Canaveral. Is the closest airport Orlando? How far of a drive is it to the port and is it best to just rent a car or are there shuttles at all from the airport to the port? Thanks.

We used this company roundtrip for our family cruise of 10 persons on the Freedom from Port Canaveral from Orlando airport. http://www.port-canaveral-transportation.net Very reliable. Driver was waiting at airport with sign and met us at ship on time upon disembarking.

When we were in Labadee last month, the boat to Columbus Cove wasn't operating (can't remember why) so we had to take the tram to the beach. For the people who had the bungalows, they were driven in golf carts right up to the beach.

Thanks!

I am considering reserving a Beach Bungalow in Columbus Cove for our family cruise stop in Labadee this July. My mother-in-law has a hard time walking any distance. Does the tram go all the way to Columbus Cove? Also, I read on one thread that there is/was a water taxi to Columbus Cove. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!

We used Road to Italy for our day in Rome. We had a very knowledgeable private guide and driver for the day and got into the sites bypassing large groups and lines. Here is a link for their Naples excursions. http://www.roadtoitaly.com/shore-excursions-italy/shore-excursions-naples/

We didn't like it. There is a curtain to divide the bedroom from bath area. The cabin's main door opens to the bath area. Which can be difficult if you're changing/toweling off and someone wants to come in room from ship corridor.

I am at a loss when it comes to Kona. I don't think that I will want another tour day though. I am open to beach/snorkeling suggestions and good restaurants with a great view or a boat trip but I haven't found just what I'm looking for. Any suggestion is welcome because if it's not for me it may just be for someone else who clicked on this thread who is also looking for ideas. :)

We spent a week in Kona and went out with Kona Honu Divers for the Manta Ray night dive. They offer other snorkeling and diving too. They also have a this Open Ocean Safari Ihttps://www.konahonudivers.com/best-snorkel-boat-kona-and-freedive-whale-watching.htm

If you're there during whale season that might be fun. They are a very organized and friendly business.

You might want to try Resort For a Day website. We've used them before for another port and we're very happy with them. Here's a link to Cabo resorts they offer http://www.resortforaday.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=Cabo+San+Lucas&Submit=Search

I will be visiting St. Croix in mid March. I have heard that there are humpback whales migrating this time of year. Would you be able to recommend any whale watching tours. I can't seem to find any

We used budget right at port one time. Their rental location is on the first block of store fronts and cars were reasonable and in good condition. https://www.budgetstcroix.com

We've done the Isla Passion by Twister twice in Cozumel. It is a ship tour only and cost $89/adult (Tour CZ1F). It is a really fun boat ride to the island where you have an all-inclusive day on a beautiful beach. There are water climb-on things for the kids and in-water hammocks to relax in. Food and drinks are great too.

I have a cross body Pacsafe purse which has a cable through the strap and it has an RFID pocket built it to it as well as locking zippers. Love it for travel.

Just booked Anthem for this summer. They're running this promo right now where balcony cabins are the same price as outside cabins.

 

It meant the D2 balcony was 2150 less than my usual JS.

 

I ALWAYS sail in a JS. Wife, me & kids. (Ages 3 & 8) Only did a regular balcony once on Celeb reflection with my wife alone. I remember it being small but fine for us, but thinking about doing it with 2 kids, I'm thinking that may have been a bad idea. Especially since Anthem and the Solstice class are essentially the same ship.

 

Any other families of 4 on Anthem who can give me some advice? Was your balcony cabin super cramped? Should I shell out the extra 2150 or use that cash for some fun pre/post sailing in the Big Apple.

Like one of the other posters said, I would price the cost of two cabins with a connecting door. That is what we did when our 2 kids were younger. It also gives you two bathrooms with showers, but on the other hand, the JS gives you a bathtub (good for 3 yo).

we ran into this challenge when trying to plan our excursion for St. Maarten (we're on the same sailing as you!). The independent tour operator told us we would be on Atlantic time; however, the Celebrity rep couldn't confirm if it would be Atlantic or Eastern time. Since the start time for the tour was close to the arrival time, we decided not to take a chance of missing the tour. We opted for something different that doesn't start until mid-morning.

 

See you on board in four weeks...Sunset Bar at 4:30pm!

It seems, from reading the responses to this thread, that it's up to the captain to change the clocks or not. I've never been on a sailing that did not change clocks to island time. We've opted for a day pass at a resort in St. Maarten so we'll be on our own schedule. See you at sail away.

Looking at Cosol tours in st Lucia ... Great reviews ... Anyone used them ? We are there Sunday March 26 ... They need a min of 6

We did the Cosol Full Day St. Lucia Tour in January 2014. My husband and I were put with other couples who had booked the tour into a van of 10 people for the day. It is a great way to get an overview of most of the island and some beach time in too. If you are interested in doing this tour, I would email them and ask them to place you with others who want to do the tour that day. It was very popular and I believe he fill multiple vans with cruisers. Or, you could try to get 4 other cruisers from your Roll Call to do this tour with you.

Hey Charleston I am on the 3/18 cruise, write up a review on here if you can thanks, Huntington,WV

Ok, Huntington I've never written a review, but I'll give it a try.

We used cavetubing.bz for our family group of 10 private tour and had a wonderful time. They also do large bus transportation for this excursion too.

Thank you, this will help. I just booked this cruise and so I'm late planning excursions.

I'm on the same 3/4 cruise. If you haven't been to the roll call, we're planning a meet/greet at sail away at the Sunset Bar 4:30. Feel free to join!

Thanks, I just posted on the Roll Call today.

I just booked Reflection 3/4/17 Eastern Caribbean. Can anyone tell me if the ship's clock changes to match island time?

Our extended family of 10 used Vital Nature and Mayan Tours last summer. They were wonderful and a lot,of,other cruisers from our ship went with them too. Here is a link http://cavetubing.bz/#_=_
