cruiser 101

What are reasonable times to get off the ship? We are trying to plan livery pickup at a leisurely pace say 9:00AM or is it everybody off at 7:30AM?

Thanks for the replies, I guess I’m to anxious just have to wait. 😐

When will itineraries be posted for 2021? 

When will the 2021 itineraries be released? Hoping the "51-Day Tales Of The South Pacific" will be offered in the 2021 season.

Might there be anyone who would know if any cruise line is planning any overnights in Puerto Rico 2019 with the purpose to see Hamilton?

I was looking just now at that 3 hour Havana City tour (if that was your choice) by Old Cars Havana.

I would forgo the 3 hour tour for the 2 hour one, and visit the Morro - Caba?a Fortress at night (if ship's schedule allows) for the cannon firing at 9pm with costumed 1800s military. There is a lively craft market and horse carriage rides there at night as well, and a great view over the harbor.

As far as their Mafia tour, the Hotel Nacional has a woman who gives tours during the day (call for times) which include all the Mafia history. And it's a nice place for a drink on the garden terrace at night, with view over the Malecon.

As for the Hemingway tour, the Finca house is reachable by taxi. The Floridita bar is right at the end of Obispo, the main tourist shopping street in Havana Vieja, right near the art museum, which has a fine collection of Cuban art to learn about. The daiquiris are pretty good (6 CUC) and you can take a photo with H's statue standing at the bar. Good band playing live music all day.

After reading your post on the Mafia Tour, do you know if they accommodate cruise passenger schedules such as being in port for a limited time? On the web site they ask for a deposit, I'm uncomfortabe in doing this, is this the only way of confirming the tour?
