Was on Bamboo beach this past Jan. Basic facilities , a bar , restroom, shower (outdoor , not private ) . There was no sand , just a mix of shell , coral & rock . Went on an RCI tour . Wouldn’t go back .

Thanks folks !

Hi all , We’re trying to figure out best ( also not expensive) way to travel from Hobby to the port . We are of course arriving a day before cruise on Liberty ! Any help would be much appreciated . End of Jan . 2019 .

We walked off the ship , thru the gate into town . We were going to hire a taxi to take us to Lake Gotomeir to see the flamingos . At the taxi stand they were selling 2 1/2 hr tours to go there for 25.00 pp . We hopped on a very nice small tour bus & had a great tour . Plenty of time left to shop after !

Enjoy !

We'll be on this cruise too ! So excited !

Volley Ball game in progress...

 

 

 

 

The beach is actually very large....

 

 

 

....and nicely groomed....

 

I'm really enjoying your review ! We're leaving tomorrow for this same itinerary on Fri . This beach was in Aruba by the Riu resort correct ? I'm so excited to go there next week ! Enjoy the rest of your cruise !

Following along . We leave for her 9 day in 8 days ! How are the beds ? I'm so excited !

Thanks for sharing ! We sail her 3/3/17 & I'm sooo excited !

We sail her 3/3/17 , getting sooo excited ! I've been reading about how hard the beds are . What's your opinion ? Enjoy your cruise !!

I've never been questioned about my CPAP when flying or cruising anywhere in the world. I never check it, but keep it with me.

My husband & I both use CPAP . We have been questioned in an airport . TSA demanded we take them out of the case & have them scanned separately in those filthy tubs . We complied after lodging our displeasure . An older TSA agent came over to us after this ordeal & made a valuable suggestion . We now travel with them inside a large ziplock in their case .

Hi Harry ,

I'm one of those newbie lurkers . I just wanted to tell you I'm loving your review .

I was getting disappointed not seeing anyone posting about the salmon on RCI . Our 1st

Cruise on them will be this March , my retirement celebration ! Thanks for the tips !

Just bought large ( couple gal ) ziplock bags & med size ( still ginormous) space bags to test out putting mine & DH down jackets . They're not easily wrinkled so can't speak to that . I will say the space bags are stiffer plastic, more difficult to roll to get the air out . After sitting & laying on space bags ( quite a show we'd put on in airport , lol ) I gave up . I'll stick w/ziplock .

Thank you for this info !

So excited for your wonderful review ! We do this trip 3/3/17 !

In our frequent land travels in Mexico , you are told to always establish the price first with a taxi . Many places are regulated ( taxi unions ) & the fare is set . Some taxis are privately run & you Can negotiate PRE trip . I think you would find yourself in some serious talks with the police if you tried this scam .

Mostly all good advice here . We travel with smaller bills ( 20's the largest ) . We've been told in some places that the larger currency is too often counterfeit & have been refused a number of times . Who knew ?

What does this mean??? New here.

Pretty new myself but I assume ( yes I know what that means ) the poster was meaning to put quotes instead of commas , meaning they agreed with previous

answers .

Happy it worked out for you . Wishing you great healing !

I am glad it worked out well for you, I think the cruise or an all inclusive is a great idea.

 

I tore my rotator cuff falling down stairs ( well the dog did push me) and I have been putting it off for a while, first I did PT then got really busy when it did not work out well enough it is a really small tear but still painful at times. Now I have crappy insurance ( from a very large employer) and cannot afford it. Another year or so and I should be OK.

 

So here is my question since there are so many people that replied to the thread and excuse me for asking but: "How do you wipe"? I have tried using my other hand and I know I am not that flexible (bad back and car accident) but for the most part it just does not work out. Is it me or is it somewhat common? I figure I will work on it leading up to the surgery.

You either get a PT to help you " train " the other arm to do it , go " thru " from the front ( I recommend flushable wet wipes ) , ask your significant other for help , or perhaps get

a bidet . Not an easy task , been there

This review is so helpful ! Thank you for posting .

Well said , thank you . 12 of us are doing a cruise to celebrate my upcoming retirement ( and enjoy great family time ). I 've thought about doing shirts but some of these other folks comments have really dampened that idea . It's helpful to know there are still people who see the good fun for just that .

I have never stayed there . However we vacation @ a resort up north that has a lot of sea grass . My now 8 yr old grand daughter loved the sea grass . She said it felt soft & squishy . She is a very adventurous & not afraid of getting into anything . I would be more concerned about the surf being gentle or rough .

Okay I am having rotator cuff repair on 9/6 and will be out of work for a little bit. Follow up appointment is 9/21. So I decided what is a better way to recoup with a little get away.

Just booked a cruise for 5 days on the Majesty of the Sea.. think this will make me feel better and the price was really nice too..

Looks like you've made up your mind to go ! As another woman may I share some advice please ? Button up tops will be your friend , anything going over your head needs a lot of stretch as your surgery arm needs to not move . Teach your "caddie " to help fix your hair unless you do well 1 handed . As another person said , if it's your dominant arm , strengthen & start practicing doing personal care 1 handed . Wishing you best of results on your surgery & healing relaxing cruise !

I hope your Dr. Approved your cruise ? I had extensive rotator cuff surgery ( torn supraspinatus ) & spent 6 weeks @ home . Wishing you easy surgery , fast healing & a great cruise ! You won't be allowed to use that arm for anything for a while , so plan ahead !

All beaches in Mexico are public beaches . You stated you know public nudity is illegal there . My advice is to line up a lawyer in Mexico ahead of time and have plenty of cash available . Good luck .
