    Aft cabins are my favorite.  One advantage is you can watch the scenery on both sides of the ship.  It is also out of the wind when sailing, an excellent place to relax.  
     

    We did a transatlantic Barcelona to Ft Lauderdale in November, loved it.  Favorite port was Madeira, beautiful island.

    we’ll be in San Juan on a Saturday but it  will probably be very crowded too and for the muster thank you Ms411

    We just came back from San Juan.

    Did B2B from the Pan American Pier.

    Used Uber from the Pan American Pier to Old San Juan and back.

    Cost: $5 each way.

  4. 5 is a lot better than 3:30

    we are with my sister  and brother in law for the day, they are just doing the first part of our b2b so we want to spend as much time as possible with them before going back to the ship 

     

    thank you for your input, I appreciate

  5. Hello,

    We would like to spend some time visiting San Juan between our  two cruises, the sail away is late but we’ll need (I think so) to be there for the muster drill 

    For  those who did that before, at what time to we need to get back on the ship 

    I just want to plan some activities  in advance 

     

    Thank you for your comments,

  6. You never really know. They tend to cancel them more than a year in advance, so you might have to make a change at that point. I would book a refundable fare in case you don't like the options they provide if it happens.

     

    I agree that it is the thing to do.

    Royal has also itinararies that are similar but we prefer Celebrity.

     

    Thank you again bEwAbG

  7. Hello

     

    I know this is not something anyone including me likes to think about or even discuss but I really would appreciate your thoughts on this & help with the second question.

     

    I really do not like ships tours but going to be taking some when in the Middle East. Mainly the one that goes into Palestine-Jerusalem etc. The reason is although I am not really scared heck I have been to Africa twice. I just think with this whole conflict in the Middle East it might be better to take ships tours on a few occasions. Unless some of you that have been there could recommend a good tour company?? I travel alone.

     

    Here are my questionS.

    1. I have been thinking about buying a small can of pepper spray to take with me. What are your thoughts? I know it would have to be packed not carried on or is it not even permitted period to have for getting back on board after a tour?

    2. Also any tour recommendations for private tours to any of the following would be greatly appreciated Oman, Safaga (would like to go to a hotel/beach been to Egypt for several weeks already) Petra/Aqaba, Jerusalem/Bethlehem, Nazareth/Galilee, Cyprus

     

    Thank you in advance for your help and thoughts

    We have lived in Oman for two years and I have never covered my hair. I was always wearing a short sleeves shirt or a shawl over a no sleeve shirt or dress, as long as your skirt covers your knees you'll be fine.

    People from Oman are very nice and many of them can speak a very good english, mostly around the port in Muscat.

    Beautiful sceneries!

  8. We already have a cabin booked on the CP for the 2017 TA but we're also considering one in Australia.

    We still have one more month to make a decision.

    We know that these two ships are not new and it makes me worry a little bit. We have only cruised on the Equinox and on the Allure so far.

    Thank you everyone for all your comments.
