each time I sail the port charges taxes and fees go up and the savings disappear. I understand they can vary greatly and maybe 450 per person is not that high- but how can I be assured these are legitimate and not including commission fees and they are collecting charges that were not levied? for example, what is panama canal charges, and seattle, LA or Miami charges vs acappoco or costa rica?

Mahogany Bay is like a SixFlags park. Get out fast and see Roatan.

You will be using the ship's cel tower. And you will pay for it.

$ 14,835.00

But that's an average.

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but can you do any catamaran tours from the private island? Like once you get off the ship are there any tour companies or even through NCL to offer a catamaran sail for a couple hours?

There is no method of getting off the island that does not involve paying NCL.

Hi all! We're going on our first cruise in 2 weeks and I was curious as to if anyone knows how bad the violence/beggars are in the Caribbean. We are going to St. Kitts, St. Marteen, Dominica, Antigua, and Tortola.

Okay then.

We know where you are going.

What we also need to know is where do you THINK you're going?

Sheesh.

You can ask for something but be aware that they owe you nothing.

You will need to contact the maître d and the chef while on board. They can accommodate you but they need to know ahead of time. There are some stock dishes that fit your diet but the regular menu doesn't include a selection of options for, nor should it as you can easily understand.

The casino smoking does quite a good job of making a large indoor portion of the ba a smoking area.

No, it doesn't.

Second hand smoke did not give you bronchitis.

Well, decide if you'd be OK with the 5yr old swimming in sewage.

Then you'll understand why the diapered kiddo isn't supposed to be in the pool.

Yes, it was one of our favorite things we ate all trip. Why, have you had bad experiences there?

Oh no. No bad experiences. I am a big fan of Johnny's PoBoys.

You enjoyed a meal at Johnny's PoBoys?

Generally, ladies with aftermarket hair color will want to use their own brand of shampoo and conditioner. Guys use....whatever is nearby.

It's a casino. On a ship.

They aren't plowing new ground.

No water, Pepsi!

However....any bartender will happily set you up with a glass of fresh potable water.

At no charge. Gratis. Free. Included in the fare. No money involved. Complimentary.

First, it's important to understand the math and the reality.

They comp the drink package at retail. Retail includes the markup so the actual out-of-pocket expenses are considerably less than the price. If they get creative and write off the retail cost as advertising---- well, that's a sweet deal for them. Four days in port on a seven day cruise mean a lot of passengers are not on the ship drinking during the day so that's another point for their bottom line.

The 18% gratuity for the package is actual expense and theyre getting that in cash.

That's reality. If it weren't legal they could only do it as congressmen.

A good beer selection.

Yes, and most lines actually make a good faith effort to enforce them.

Really? That seems highly unlikely.

Are there really age restrictions for alcoholics on the ships?

What happens when they are having a fire sale?

You realize that you were okay with the price when you booked and that in actuality they owe you nothing. Sometimes you can wheedle a little change but it is hit or miss.

Certain folks have been emboldened since then.

A pantload.

What they don't have is a lot of available amperage.

I think beer was being brewed in what is now the Czech Republic long before the United States was a thing, so I'm not sure what you mean by 'American Light Lager'.

It is a style of beer.
