Thanks for the info.  

Good to know there'll be someone to talk to.  We'll be on the American Harmony on our first river boat cruise so many things are new to us.

We have a travel agent we have used for years.  Do you know how it works if we want to book onboard?

Can we book the cruise with ACL while onboard and then transfer our booking to her when we get home?  Or will that lose us the discounts?

I see that many people book their next cruise while onboard.  Is there usually an ACL rep to discuss the various cruises?

If not, how is this booking handled?

Thanks.

Thank you.

We're staying at the Intercontinental Hotel near the French Quarters.  Can we get a pedal cab to take us around the French Quarters instead of walking?  If so, where would we pick it up?

We're booked on the American Harmony for a Lower Mississippi River cruise.  Where is the terminal that American Cruise Line uses?

Thanks.

For Puerto Vallarta, we highly recommend simply walking to the Krystal hotel, perhaps a short 10-15 walk from the cruise terminal. This hotel seems to not mind cruisers who use their nice swimming pool.  (They can tell you are from the cruise ship...just by looking at your towel...but they don't mind)  You can access the beach from there.  We tend to stay in the wonderful pool area because of all the "beach vendors" walking on the beach. Happy sailing!

How do you get to the Krystal from the pier?  I've went there years ago but can't remember.  

Also do they still offer massages?

I used the Norwegian transfer---think was $20...……..was the cheapest and easiest

We have that booked in a couple weeks.

what type of vehicle did they use?  A big bus or just shuttle size?

You should talk to Steve at insuremytrip.com.  Maybe no but worth a check.

It is also awesome if it's windy or raining.  My favorite balcony.

Google “ncl cabin 10167”.  There were several hits.  Also try individually googling each of the Jewel Class ships with that cabib number.  Good luck.

Thanks.  We've been in suites for years until now so wasn't sure what to expect.  Sounds like no difference from everyone else.

Bummer.

I will be Platinum Plus on our cruise in January on the Gem from San Pedro.

What will priority check in and boarding and tenders actually give us?

What is the cost for Princess insurance?  I think it,s a percent of cruise cost but can't find what it is.

On princess.com I can only find discussion about the coverage.

Thanks.

Can you use your ship's card to book a clam shell or an excursion?

We used FerTours this past week. Immediate responses, excellent guide.

We're booked with Fer Tours in September. Who was your guide?

We have the $50 shore excursion credit. So would it really cost us nothing for a clam shell?

I expect it mostly depends on the size of the ship. More people has to mean longer lines.

I have a couple Brighton lanyards my daughter gave me years ago: Brighton

How much are the clam shells and will they hold more than two people?

Did most of the souvenir and art shops have air-conditioning?

You can, also, order smoothies which are really good.

Are the smoothies available in the bars or a special area of the ship? In dining room too?

I suggest you call insuremytrip.com or tripinsurancestore.com and have a rep help you come up with the insurable amount for your trip. Then help you find a policy that treats your points and/or cost to redeposit points for your potential needs.

Once you find “the policy”, be sure to read the policy itself to verify that it will cover Your needs.

We've booked a large cabana for our September cruise for 7 adults.

Are they far enough apart not to hear neighbors' speakers? Some people are really inconsiderat of others. Loud music could be very intrusive and ruin a relaxing day on the beach!
