Most of the scooter/golf cart rentals are just outside the port area.I would suspect e-bikes are there as well. Looking at the website, I suggest you make a reservation, then they'll provide directions.

Most Royal ships I have been on have a Military/Veterans event. Sometime on the promenade (Wonder was that) sometime in the Royal Theater. But you'll get recognized as service units. Good event to attend.😃

don't forget the cream of mushroom soup!

@mitsugirlythanks. Guess Cozumel Excursions was what I was remembering. I'll check out that site.

@mitsugirly What is the name of the private catamaran your family used on a snorkel trip a couple of years back? I know it wasn't Fury. Was it Tucan? Looking to take BIL and SIL on an offshore snorkel excursion that's not ship related. Thanks. Crew

Sergio's from Taxco! On north side of Benito Juarez between Ave 5 and 10. 2 blocks inland from ferry pier. Been around forever!

Look for POX, a Maya liquor, or xtabentun, which I know is available at Cinco Soles. Otherwise look for small batch mezcal like Rey Compero, Ilegal orDel Maguey

Port!! There are a few shops in Cockburntown along the street by the ocean, but nothing major.

Yes!

@attran99Make sure Maya Chan is open. Not sure when they reopen for fall/winter.

@c-leg5I recall one out of Oak Harbor, but think it went out of business.

As long as Taste of Royal can accommodate gluten free, I'd go that route. Very nicely done with lots of selections from all Royal eateries, not just the Harmony. Adding: just check with the hostess at the venue before hand to make sure they are prepared for you.

AllYour choices are good. My picks in order of preference: Maya Chan Hayhu Krazy Lobster (paygo) YaYa Either Malecon 21 or Jaime's BlueReef

There are no shuttles direct to Marigot. There are local buses that go from Emmaplien in Phillipsburg (a 10 minute walk from the port) to Marigot via Cole Bay.. I suggest you contact one of the private tour companies. I believe Bernard's Tours, for example, offers private customized tours. Maybe other do as well.

OP, I've stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott in the past. There's also a Homewood Suites and Hilton Garden across the street from the mall.
