I am waiting in the airport to take the flight to PHL which is now delayed several hours. The overall cruise went fine but we had to cancel the Costa Maya excursion due to a personal reason. So maybe next time but we did do the excursions at Roatan and Cozumel.

Yes all excursions booked. As follows: 1. Roatan booked with Let's go Roatan for sloth visit, sightseeing, chocolate factory, rum factory and dolphin swim 2. Costa Maya booked with Native choice tours for Chechoben ruins and Lake Bacalar 3. Cozumel booked an all day at Mr. Sanchos Also purchased the travel insurance. All prep activities completed. Now I can start shopping. This has been fairly nerve racking so far. I thought planning for a cruise would be easier than planning a vacation.

Thank you all for your help.

Can you share his details?

I did and I am looking for recommendations.

We will be arriving through Royal Caribbean cruise towards end of August. I will be traveling with wife and 2 kids 6 and 9. Are there any tours that combine turquoise blue beaches and ATV? Any other tour recommendations?

Much appreciated.

I know they will enjoy it and I chose ruins and bacalar. Only concern is because of the comments here. I just want to know if it is safe from a timing perspective to reach the tour operator. I am not asking about the quality of the tour, just the assessment for walking and reaching at 9am.

Should I cancel or just walk fast?

To clarify are you saying 20 mts to get to exit plus 10 mts to native choice? Is the route confusing?

I already asked them and they are saying to message them when I land and it should be enough time. Should I cancel it with them? They are saying there are others from my ship too. How long is the walk?

What should I do? Cancel it or request a different start time?

Folks - We arrive by Royal Caribbean allure of the seas at 8:00 AM. We talked to native choice who said tour will start 1 hour after. I will be traveling with wife and two kids 6 and 9. Does it give enough time to walk through the Native choice office? Also, has anyone been to Bacalar lagoon recently? Is the water clean to swim and is it recommended to add this? I just made a reservation but do have the ability to cancel if needed.

I will be traveling with wife and two girls 9 and 6 through Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas towards end of August. On Day 4 we are expected to be in Roatan, Honduras. I am looking for reliable shore excursion options which will guarantee coming back to the ship before departure. Can you please share recommendations and reliable vendors?

I started booking the shows after downloading the app. But many activities like diving, snorkeling etc seems to be filled up or filling up fast. Also shore excursions seem very expensive through the cruise line. What is the best way to plan this so that we don't miss out on activities. Also I am going on the royal Caribbean. Is there a place where I can ask for guidance on how to plan the trip with activities and what I should book upfront so that we don't miss out on experiences? This is my first time cruising

Do I just search for where the ship is going on each day and search for the port of call board on the forums?

So you used Uber or Lyft to get from hotel to port terminal? Is it reliable and on time? I see some posts about Galveston shuttle as well.

Can someone guide me on how to get activities on days on land? I was told booking through cruise line is more expensive and I should search out local providers.

Doubletree near the port or airport?

To add some details I will be traveling wife and two kids 9 and 6. We are taking the royal Caribbean cruise. I read somewhere that it is not walkable to the port. Should I take a hotel nearby that will have a drop at the cruise terminal or stay overnight at hotel next to Hobby airport and then take a shuttle the next day to the cruise? Do you recommend a certain shuttle service or should I get the cruise transfer? Also on the way back, is it easy to get back to the airport?

We will be starting on a cruise from Galveston. We will be arriving at HOU airport. We don't intend renting a car since rental would be a waste for the 7 days we are on cruise. Are there any Galveston hotels providing pick up from airport and also dropping off at the cruise terminal? We intend to arrive one day early and stay at the hotel. On the return trip my cruise arrives around 7am. What time should I book my return flight and what are transportation options from Galveston to HOU airport?
