Shocker

We are docking at Colon from 9A-6P on the MSC Divina. We are looking for a recommended private tour van size vehicle or smaller. We would like to see the canal (not on a boat) and other interesting things in the area. A tour for about 6 hours or less would be great.

If you had a great tour please let me know who to contact.

Thank you

Dave

If you get bad service can you decrease the tips or eliminate them and then tip who you received good service from?

Does anyone know for sure if Red Stripe Beach is still open? I emailed Royal and they said they have discontinued that excursion. What a shame as there is not a decent beach I can find within 1 hour of that port. I think Falmouth is a wasted stop and will not book another cruise that stops there. If someone finds a beach that is not all inclusive please let me know before 1/7/18.

Since RCL has now eliminated the beach tour at Red Stripe does anyone know of a beach that is not all inclusive close to Falmouth?

This seems like a worthless port stop to me.

Does anyone have a beach suggestion at Falmouth. I contacted RCL and Red Stripe is no longer available. From what I see this port is a big waste of a stop. To do anything you must travel an hour or more to Montego bay or Ochos Rios.

Please someone prove me wrong and give me information on a beach.

I called NCL and was informed the beverage package will not be honored on Harvest Caye and there will be a charge for food. There will be a water taxi to the Belize mainland available for a fee also.

Anyone who has boarded the NCL Jade in Tampa, what time do they allow boarding to begin. I like to get on as soon as possible and often the cruise line will post a time later than they really allow boarding. Also is the boarding process excellent, average or poor.

Thank you for the information.

It seems silly to me that they will give you a drink of scotch that comes from a $70.00 bottle but will not give you a bottle of water that costs them maybe 20 cents???

Celebrity includes water and coffee.....

Thanks for the reply...

I had several Irish Coffees and they were included.

I like that idea drinking the irish coffee at 9AM..thanks...

We had the same experience as the previous posters on our last few cruises: alcoholic cocktails made with espresso are included. They are listed in the menu at the coffee bar, things like "Buena Vista Irish Coffee" and "Mississippi Mud".

 

I don't know if this is a general policy on all ships, or if it changed recently, because occasionally we would get a server who told us that these drinks were not included and that we would be charged (but we never were).

 

I don't know how they would react if you asked for an Irish Coffee without the whiskey, or with the whiskey on the side. We just drank the Irish Coffee, at 9am… :p

We have the Ultimate Beverage package and I can't find if it includes any specialty coffees. It does say it excludes select Lavazza coffee beverages but are there some that are included.

Thank you in advance for this information if you have it.

Dave

thanks for the replies i will check into everything offered. Dave

What is the exact date you need? You won't find a beach hotel for that rate if around Easter vacations.

 

For how many people? Kids?

Thew date is Thursday April 16th checking out on the 17th 2 adults. Thanks for your interest.

Hi Shocker, what part of FL?

Well thanks working Mom I figured everyone knows where I am going or maybe being from Kansas there is not much coastline. I guess i left out an important fact....

It is Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale and this is only for one night precruise....

Thanks again Working Mom......

I know there are a lot of hotel posts but I must be lazy to look at them all. Does someone know of a clean beachfront hotel that is under 150 in April that you can walk to stores for wine and places to eat. I don't care about free breakfast or shuttles. We are from Kansas and want to stay where we can see and hear the ocean.

Thank you to all that reply.

I have read many reviews on the beaches and am still undecided which one to visit. What is the best beach that has beach chairs and umbrellas with a beverage service with reasonable prices. Thank you for your input..
