Yes...we all knew that internet wasn't included...Very nice that they gave you OBC to cover it. I agree as we sail in suites (GS and up) that it should be included fleetwide.

Look at RCI Explorer for their 10 or 11 nighter in March 2025 out of Miami. A couple of great itineraries. Congratulations and have a wonderful honeymoon !!

Go with a taxi from the taxi stand just across from where you buy water taxi tickets. Taxi stand area will be on your right hand side.. Last visit there it was $12.00pp roundtrip. You'll be dropped off in the parking lot of the Sunset Bar. We like to get a table near the rail order a bit of food and drinks. We usually try to be there between 10:30 & 11:00am and usually see a few small planes land and a couple of big ones. When you're ready to leave for us it'll be around 1:00pm the taxi's will be lined up in the parking lot and you'll be directed to one. Our wrist band shows we purchased a round trip. They load up and leave quickly. We then opt to have the taxi drop us off in town instead of back to the taxi stand. We like to do a bit of shopping and walk through the town. We then take the water taxi back $6.00 pp. We've done this many times over the years... Enjoy St Maarten and Maho !!

We also stayed there many times pre-cruise but in the last few years we've opted for Hyatt Place.

So glad you enjoyed your tour with Paul...and yes one of the most memorable tours we've had regardless of the many places we've toured.

Not sure if it was me you're asking but we stayed at Home2Suites and loved this hotel !!!

Thanks for posting back. Happy anniversary and do enjoy your cruise !!

Price out your drink options during Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

Agree...it was fine when our grandkids were toddlers. Now it's the Bering Sea tour they love.

We also loved Cruise Control. We booked a private shuttle for the 6 of us roundtrip from MCO to our Port Canaveral hotel and then back to MCO post cruise. Plenty of room in their shuttle for us and all of our luggage. Will definitely use them again.

First time we did the KSC it was during a port stop with RCI their "Snowbird Itinerary" from Quebec City to Fort Lauderdale. Booked it through the cruise planner and it was just great. We had a wonderful local driver/guide and she stayed with our excursion group inside the complex the entire time.

I always checkin through my online account (using my desk top) and never use the app until I board and even then rarely use it.

Cash it out at guest services.

We book Hampton Inn's on the Hilton website to get their member rates. Try Hampton Inn Brickell or Hampton Inn Blue Lagoon (which is usually a bit less).

I received a survey from RCI about Icon. I'm not sailing until May 2024 so I didn't have much to say. 🤣

Explorer March 2022...noon - 5:00pm Navigator January 2023...11:00 - 6:00pm

Yes...of course the Concierge will take care of anything you might need when staying in a GS and above.

Sorry you won't at least consider RCI for the Caribbean. They have some amazing ships and ports. Enjoy whatever you decide.

Yes...agree my Ambien CR is a schedule 4 and I get 30 at a time with 3 refills. My primary care physician notifies Costco pharmacy to fill it early when I travel. Thanks for your input.

No, we certainly didn't think it was necessary. We wanted an Alaska cruise (done 5 so far) and that's what we got and wanted. Our first Alaska cruise we didn't even do any excursions. Just being there seeing the scenery and enjoying the ports was just fine.

As far as "social media" goes the response's would be the same maybe even harsher that it was the OP's responsibility.

I get them at guest services or the casino....less small bills I have to cram into my wallet .

I always do ours online when the checkin becomes available. I was hoping not to have to do theirs which was my original question.

I'll make it easy. On our most recent cruise on Explorer: JR's hours were: noon to 5:00pm
