We will be in Cozumel on July 4th, with our 17 and 11 years old daughters. My 17 year old loves swimming in pools, especially with deep ends. My husband does not drink, so no need for AI option. Looking for best option for pool and beach day. Which option has the best pool for my 17 year old to enjoy swimming? Paradise Beach, Nachi, Mr. Sanchos? or should we look at one of the Resorts for a Day options? Allegro looks like it has nice pools, anyone been there recently? What about some of the other Resort for a Day Options?

I will be watching the Sat. night game at home on our new 75" TV that my husband insisted we "needed" The game I really want to watch is Sunday at 1pm.

Thanks!!! I just found the Roll Call thread also!

Is there any hope I will be able to watch the NFL playoff games this Sunday (the 14th) on our departure day on Ascent? I have read that there are some small TV's in the Craft Social Spot on deck 4. Are there any TVs on Deck 15 that may be showing the NFL games on departure day? Any other place that I may now know about (other than my cabin...) that I will be able to watch in the afternoon? Thank you! I know..... I am going on a cruise and should not be worried about watching football as soon as we board, but did not expect "needing" to watch the 1pm game on Sunday 🙂

I just had the most wonderful experience with the AVIS location! We had a fantastic shuttle bus driver for our group of 5 both on Friday dropping off for our cruise and picking us up on Monday morning.

I have the same question - I just changed my reservation from Bugdet to AVIS - we will see how it goes this Friday... 🙂

For this Friday - there are three ships - estimated passengers - Disney Wish (4,000), Carnival Liberty (3,000), and RC Independence (4375). My "plan" is to drop the other 4 people and all our luggage I am traveling with at the port at 10:30 am and then return the rental car to AVIS. I guess if there is not a shuttle right there, I can take an Uber to the terminal? We have 11 am bording time. On Monday when we return - all the same ships as Friday plus Carnival Freedom (3,000) - Hopefully AVIS shuttle will be available when we get off the ship... - if not I can take an Uber to AVIS?

Enterprise is sold out, decided to switch to Avis, some bad reviews but not as bad at Budget. Fingers crossed that Avis will not be a train wreck. I see it is further from the port. I assume I can take a taxi or uber to the port if the AVIS shuttle is MIA?

There will be 5 ladies next Thursday night staying at the Holiday Inn Vacation Club. We will have a rental car. We will be celebrating a birthday - what is a good restaurant on the water that would have "non fried" seafood? Any other suggestion for on the water restaurant that is not "beach bar food"?

Did you have any delays when you dropped your rental car off at Budget the morning of the cruise? I have been reading such horrible reviews about how long it took to retun the car.

Wow....just read a bunch of horrible reviews for the Budget car rental location in Cape Canaveral. Making me decide to cancel our one way car rental and go with a shuttle service. There are 5 of us, should we look into private shuttle companies? I know there are so many different shuttle options, not sure which one to start with.

Thanks for the information, can't believe the OTW is only $2299 - with tax it was around $2500. I know I will never be able to enjoy something like that in the future. Did you pick #13 or was that assigned? I plan on going to the Shore Excursion desk to select one of the ones in the "front" We plan on staying in the Cabana all day until we get kicked out 🙂

I am going on the Independence next weekend and have my "beer bag" cooler packed. I bought it last July at Labadee when we were headed back to the ship. Not sure if any beer deal will be offered as a refill....will let you know in a couple weeks 🙂

I booked the OTW cabana and then saw the price dropped even more this week. It was only $100 more than what I originally paid for the beach cabana. Price for the OTW is almost half what it was in November when I booked the beach cabana. Probably since it is only a 3 day cruise, people are not looking to spend a lot of extra money. Glad it worked out for us and a great way to celebrate my "Big Birthday" next week. I will probably not get another change to enjoy it. The cost is over $4,000 during our Spring Break cruise on the Odessy in 2024.

You can request a specific cabana number on the day you board at the Excursion desk. I am planning to make that my 1st stop as soon as we board on our cruise in 3 weeks!
