Most car rentals offer a key drop box for after hours returns. Check with the rental agency.

We will be in Tenerife for the second and third times in November of next year (2024) while we are on 2 different cruises that stop at the island each time. I see that whale watching is in season at that time. Can anyone recommend a tour operator that operates out of the cruise ship area for whale watching? I doubt if we would want to travel to the other side of the island to do this. It is still early, but I don't see a ship excursion doing this. We have done a regular island tour on our first visit a few years ago.

I would love to do an excursion from Malaga to Gibraltar. Did you book through the ship? And yes, Alhambra is beautiful. But we have been there so looking for another experience in Malaga.

Thank you both for the responses. If you go to the MDR at a popular time (6 -7 pm?) is there usually a long wait? Is there a trick to getting in at any particular time? Also, do the menu;s change daily? I have cruised RCI so long and am so accostomed to making reservations in advance for MTD that this seems really different. But I am looking forward to new and different menus!

We are booked on the Celebrity Apex for the westbound TA in 2024. We are D+ on RCI and have cruised a few other lines, but have never cruised on Celebrity. Looking at the Main Dining options, it does not look like what we are accostomed to on RCI. We usually have My Time Dining in the main dinig room with a few specialty dining options thrown in. What should I expect on the Apex? Are we to sign up for each night in a different main dining restaurant? Nothing is open for dining on the website yet, so I can't tell from that. Thank you in advance!

We have now booked a group of 6 with Thenford Grey for January. We have toured St Kitts before, but the others have not, so it should be fun. My sister in law is a quilter. I can't wait to see her reaction to Caribelle Boutique! I bought 6 placemats from there in 2015 that I use all the time (still in great condition) and I want 6 more!

We did the HOHO bus the last time we were there. It was a nice ride, but we didn't get off because it was raining. I'm not sure if it is still running/ That was in 2015.

My experience has been that it is better to catch a cab to the fort and then walk back down! I shop along the way and stop for a bite to eat at one of the many eateries along the way. But that is me.

That is what I thought. I just wanted to make sure that pier could handle an Oasis Class ship Thank you for the response.

No. We cancelled that, sorry. I had a total knee replacement instead. 😉 Carry on. 😊

We are booked on the Oasis on Jan 5, 2023. We now have San Juan added as a port stop due to a recent itinerary change. It is a relatively short day (7AM - 3PM), back on the ship by 2:30PM. I am wondering where the ship will dock? I am hoping at the pier in Old San Juan so we can just walk off the ship to the shops and restaurants, but not sure if the Old San Juan per can handle an Oasis Class ship. 🤔

I was wondering if there is a catamaran snorkeling tour offered that is easy access from the ship in St. Maarten? We have been there several times and would like to do something different than the usual land tour with beach stop. thanks in advance.

Are there any licensed private Tour Guides or taxi's that are allowed to pick up cruise passengers in St. Kitts? My research shows that you need to book tours through your hotel concierge, but nothing that applies to cruise ship passengers. I would like to go to Caribelle Batik & Romney Manor, then be dropped off at a good beach for lunch and sun time before having the same driver pick us up and return us to the ship. My last visit to St. Kitts was in 2014, and the operator I used at that time appears to longer be doing tours.
