My husband and I stayed at the Intercontinental and Hilton Riverside about 3 yrs ago they were both very nice. I did just get the Hilton Riverside for Aug 22-23 for 80 a night and Aug 30 - Sept 1 for 76. a night on Hotwire. The location is perfect.

4* New Orleans (French Quarter - Mississippi River)

Norwegian Spirit 2006 out of NY

I see people complain constantly about kids on their cruise. Give me a dozen kids over a drunk that doesn't know what they are doing. Truly sad.

lol agreed

I stayed at a couple of hotels that held my bags after I checked out because of late flights. Maybe you could ask them to hold your bags??

If you are going to go to Condado Beach you might as well find a beach in NY, If you can find a way to get to any other beach ( Taxi, Rental Car ) You will not be sorry. I've always said if you go to PR try to go into the country side if you have time. It is so beautiful and the water on the beaches are so crystal clear.

This may be a silly question but besides mofongo, what exactly is Puerto Rican food? I was reading the posts here about the delicious sandwiches, but what else would be considered "Puerto Rican food"? :confused: I want to be sure to try it and more than just mofongo when I'm there!!! :D

Puerto Rican Food is Spanish food made with Puerto Rican Flare by a Puerto Rican, My Grandmother uses different spices then my brother in laws Colombian mom, but the meal is still Rice and Beans with Chicken.

El Morro is good and it is right off the ship, you could also walk around.

we will be going to Saint Martins for the second time this September. I have been in contact with the Office of Tourism and we have decided to rent a taxi for 6 Hours $250 for 3 people, snacks and drinks and we are going to do the butterfly farm, a beach, haven't decided which one yet, shopping and visit the zoo. This is just what we decided to do so we could be on our schedule. This may be a little more than doing an excursion through Carnival but it allows us to do what we want when we want and for how long we want. Last September when we were there we just rented a taxi and had them take us to orient day and then pick this back up and it worked out fine this time we want to see a little bit more and do more

Supercrossfox21 can you give me the information for who you contacted? I would love to do this. instead of an organized excursion from the ship, did you have to tell them where you wanted to go ahead of time? or if you change your mind is that ok if you decide you don't want to go to one of the places.

If you are are trying to decide on particular cabins, I have a listing of every cabin onboard with the square footage of the cabin overall (plus broken down into bathroom and living space) and the balcony. Let me know if you need that info on certain ones.

 

Overall, I think B2 is a safe bet though some forward have steel balcony siding versus plexiglass.

I would love any info you have on cabin # 12236

No raking is permitted anywhere on the ship including your cabin. Rakes will be confiscated and returned upon disembarkation.

 

I suggest you go on specialist raking holiday instead.

This is hysterical

We are a huge TV watching family, and we all have different interest in what we watch, but I have to say we are usually so tired by the end of the night that we could fall asleep to the cruise consultant channel. lol

I sent MSC a message loaded down with questions via FaceBook on yesterday and got a response within minutes. All questions answered.

I also sent a message through Facebook. Absolutely the best response time I have ever gotten

I don't know if you resolved this yet, but I will tell I booked the adult voucher and the doremi package for my teen today through facebook and it took a matter of 15 minutes. Sent a message saying I wanted one of each they sent me a message back saying someone would call me and as soon as I finished reading their message my phone was ringing and it was them.

All I have to say is every cruise I have taken (5) have been on NCL out of 5 i've only made it to GSC 2 x's, I just booked my first cruise with MSC, and I am curious to find out if I will actually make it there this time? last 3 x's were a bust because of weather.

Madmaz, what did you end up with? I just did this as well for an upcoming cruise and am curious!

Hello what did everyone end up with? just booked BX for Nov 24
