what's been your favorite foods so far? and out of curiosity, have you ordered anything off the $20 roadhouse menu in the main dining room? and if it was lobster, was it identical to the lobster served on the formal night?

thanks so much for offering to answer questions. I will be traveling with my parents, my sister, and her husband and two young kids in 2016 (ages 3 and 4 or so). they would strongly prefer not to deal with the hassle of car seats and so want to visit Cozumel and progreso on foot. (they'll bring strollers.) ideally we'd like to go to a beach (free or pay is fine as long as it's not too pricy - under $20 is fine) that offers chairs and some shade to get out of the sun, and bathrooms. What would you suggest?

for progreso, I understand that downtown is walking distance and that there's a free beach there? is that correct, and would you think it'd be do-able walking there with the 2 young kids? and what is the beach like?

for Cozumel, we are thinking of walking to one of the hotels near puerta maya - el cid or park royal. are you familiar with either of these, know any details about what they charge/offer carnival passengers, and if it's a short walk?

Also, on elation, we are debating whether to do the flexible dinner dining plan or to sign up for the early seating. do you have any sense for which one would have quicker service and quicker lines? I've read a few places that the service between courses can be very slow.

thanks again for your help!

thanks so much! that's a big help

Hi, I will be traveling to Cozumel via Carnival in 2016 and was wondering if there are any kind of taxi services that provide car seats for 2 young children btwn the ages of 2 and 4. we would strongly prefer not to carry 2 car seats with us on the cruise if possible. thanks!
