Bought on Wednesday morning for a Thursday night show. There were people at the check-in buying tix on the night, and lots of empty seats around the edges of the theater, but only one ship in port that day. Our Blexie guide and driver took us there arriving about 9:00 and there was a line of taxis waiting afterwards to go back to the ship.

We were assigned Romilio but at the last minute he got switched to another couple who wanted a convertible.... which was fine as we wanted a/c! He did introduce himself as he was waiting with our new guide. He seemed nice!

Havana Club glasses just like the ones the bars use for your mojitos are 3.50 CUC or six for 21 CUC at the Museo de Ron (Rum Museum) which is about two blocks to the left of the port exit, going towards the San Jose market.

Our guide quite honestly said he’d rather we save the money for a nice tip! The paladar had an air conditioned room he sat in while we were outside under the trees. The waitress brought him some snacks and a drink. He was fine. ;)

Her face painting was looking mighty chic this morning and smudged down the side of her face.

We were on this sailing too!! Look forward to reading your take on the worlds longest muster drill! We stayed the night before at La Concha on Condado and had a wonderful (though far more expensive) experience. Wish I could have shared my cold a/c with you!

Every time I've come into Miami with my mother (in her wheelchair) we've been sent to a very short line to the side of the masses queueing in the rope maze. You don't even have to ask about it. You will be directed there by the staff at the entrance.

Definitely ask for a wheelchair. There's no need for her to be in pain while she waits!

Debenson, I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that about 10 years ago we were at Windsor Castle while the Queen was there (her standard was flying over the castle and we actually saw her luggage being loaded up and her flag come down and the national flag go up as she left) and it didn't affect our touring at all.

The royal family lives on one side of the massive castle and the tourists are in the other side so just the fact that they are there does not stop your visit, unless things have massively changed in the last few years.
