I am curious how the reefs are post hurricane?

Can you bring a twelve pack of soda onboard? Can you bring water bottles?

Thanks DaveKathy! This is one of my favorite things to do on a cruise. Anyone know what movies are playing currently?

We are going in 2 weeks, curios about the entertainment and movies. Does the Jewel have a screen by the pool for movies under the stars? What movies did they show on your cruise? Also no ice skating rink on this ship, right? Do you have any compass you are willing to post? Thanks

We are a group of 12, depending on costs and plans.

$30 sounds rather a lot compared to most places in the Caribbean - how much did you actually pay for two loungers and an umbrella, if you don't mind me asking? We have only ever taken a table and chairs for free since we have never stayed for more than a couple if hours.

It was $10. We had misunderstood them and thought it was $30. When we figured that out all of the chairs and umbrellas were gone.

The company from Palancar is Cozumel Diving and Parasailing. They were fantastic!

We were there with our kids last week. We brought some outside food for snacks (cookies, fruit snacks). We ordered lunch, but be warned if you want a lounger with umbrellas they charge $10(we misunderstood them and thought it was $30 for 2 loungers and an umbrella). We paid the cab fare.... there were 10 of us and it cost us 140 roundtrip. We wished we had rented a car through hotwire. In the past with gas it has only cost us $35 for a compact car. Since we were traveling with kids we didn't want to mess with the car rental. I wish we had done it since it would have saved us $70. For your smaller kids we found it easier to use swim goggles since the snorkel masks were too big. Bring sand toys.

We were there last week. Right next door is a beach where they are redoing a resort. They had comfy chairs and umbrellas. Kids snorkeled all day. There was only a couple of other groups there besides us. Massages on the beach. We ordered drinks from Blue Kay. We never paid a fee to use the beach. Down the beach we could see how crowded the other beaches were and we were happy to have a nice relaxing beach mostly to ourselves. A little tip....a vendor came by selling fresh cut up mangos. He sprinkled them with what we thought was nutmeg..... it was chili powder.

Loving all the updates and loving that you are sailing without problems. Looking forward to being on CB next week.:p
