Were the taxis waiting at the port or did you need to call for one?

Yes, we'll be at the Dockyard. Thanks for the Hitch info!

We'd like to get up pretty early and catch a taxi. Our goal is to have the driver wait for us at sea glass beach while we take some pictures, then drop us off nea/at horseshoe bay so we can walk the trail that connects the nearby beaches. Will there be taxis early in the morning? If not, does anyone have a contact we can get ahold of ahead of time to arrange this?

I booked January 2nd, after final payment. I had to pay in full at booking. I leave February 22nd, arrive at the embarkation port on the 24th, and the ship sails on the 25th.

I booked a cruise pretty last minute and now I need very last minute travel insurance. Any suggestions?

So my husband and I can each bring on a bottle of wine but we'll have to pay a corkage fee even if we intend to drink it in our cabin?

Thank you for the suggestion, especially about not having to change lenses. I wouldn't have thought about dust and the time it takes to change a lense. I think I'm okay with spending up to $1500 to get a great camera. And you're correct, the only camera I currently have is my phone.

I don't even know where to start when looking for a camera to bring on a South African safari. I assume I'll want great zoom and action shot capability. Any recommendations for a beginner who wants an awesome camera?

I take it you're not around a lot of teens these days 🙂? I get what you're saying. Yes, she'll understand. Will she push boundaries, maybe? I don't think she'll do anything irresponsible but I also want to eliminate the temptation. Either way, I just wanted to know if Royal would let me block her card from purchases.

I'm already treating her to airfare, a cruise, and an internet/soda package. I am being plenty nice. I don't mind buying her a coffee or giving her a small daily budget, but I don't want her thinking she's 18 and on a cruise with an unlimited magic card.

We've been on Carnival, Princess and Royal. Aside from the little perks you get from sticking with one cruiseline, I've never understood the fierce loyalty to one over another. I've only been on one NCL cruise, the Pride in Hawaii. I wasn't a huge fan but loved the inter-island itinerary. We're going to give them another try this year.

I'm going to have a very serious conversation with her beforehand and I'm pretty sure she'll do the right thing. Just wanted to remove the temptation 😆 There's no one to pay me back so I'd just be stuck.

No problem with doing that, just wondering if Royal would basically deactivate her card from being able to make purchases
