Hi, cj1000. Which line/ship are you cruising on?

 

 

Yes, the airport is pretty much tents but I'm told it's pretty streamlined.

 

 

On the Espirit in December. I've heard about the airport but no first hand which is what I would like. Crystal hasn't responded yet about what we would do after we disembark. Thanks and enjoy.

What is it really like going in and out of the airport at SXM? I heard they were using a tent for customs/immigration. Amount of time going through there? We get off the ship early in the morning but we don't have a flight until late afternoon so I don't know what we will do.

We had a character breakfast on my March cruise on Fantasy. Shoreside concierge swore that only the Wonder had a character breakfast and there was nothing on the Fantasy. When we got onboard the concierge asked if we were interested in going to the breakfast. It's good if you have little kids but if they don't have it on your sailing, you're really not missing anything. All the Jr. characters can be seen at other times during the trip. IMO, the breakfast is pretty bad and thrown at you pretty quickly to get you in and out for the next group.

They will ask you for the booklet when you check in (along with the signed printed page from online). Also, it you are doing the direct airline luggage transfer at the end of your trip, there is a page in there that you need to fill out.

Last week. Everything you copied is exactly what I had until the last night. As I said before, it was only this one document that I ever saw it say 1p. Let me see if I can find that paperwork. I'm not sure I kept them because I started dumping stuff from my backpack but I will check.

It was in the on board airline documents that they delivered the night before. It was the first time I saw any mention of the 1pm cut off. I know that to use the DCL transfers it says after 11:30a but this pertained to the airline luggage check in. I don't know if it is really enforced or when it started but it was in the paperwork they delivered.

The on board airline check in is great - you don't have to claim your bags to go through customs however they say that you cannot use it if your flight departs before 1pm. I don't know that they will generate airline luggage tags for you if it is earlier than that. You should call and ask because it's very convenient.

There's a 15% off offer right now if you purchase ahead online. It says it is fully refundable if you cancel before the last day of the cruise. So if you see that you haven't taken enough photos or just want to buy a few of them you can just cancel it.

Our tour was canceled as well. Does anyone have a recommendation for a private tour to Jost or another beach? We were really looking forward to a day ate the beach.

I have cabin 11022 booked on the Fantasy but I see that it is next to the pools. I'm concerned it is going to be too noisy and feel like we are in the crowds the whole time. Anyone familiar with that cabin that can give me a sense of how it is? I've never sailed DCL so I have no idea. It's the only cabin left in concierge so I can't switch. Thanks
