You ned to arrange a tour with an tour operator. When going to Pink beach you will depart from the jetty and you will not go to the beach the Komodo Park and you will not have any chance to meet any dragons!

An option is to go to Kampung Komodo and Pink Beach - completely 'Dragon free'

This is a short video from Kampung Komodo:

And you can also watch a video with the dragons:

No - you'll need to walk down the corridor and take the Elevator to deck 15

I just did a walking tour in Fredriksted.

join me in the short video:

Just be aware of rules and practices being different from country to country.

There might or might not be a fee associated with changes.

If you are used to cruise line that HAL and other you will not ind the same 'cruise standard' at Hurtigruten - I'm on a RCCL Norwegian Fjords cruise in June - considered Hurtigruten but found that dining, entertainment and cabin standard is different from what I do expect from 'cruise line standard'.

Thanks for the info do you have any info about the massages that are available on the beach that is something I would like.:)

Just go there and get the massage - I do not have any details info but a lot of 'tents' at the beach where you can get massage.

We just did Beno Bali (Celebrity Millennium)

- tendered (see my tendering video - link below).

I would expect that tendering is the only posibility for bigger ships at Benoa.

Visa was taken care of by the cruise line - I beleive we paid US$ 10 and going ashore was easy - apart for some problems with local tender boats.

We did Phuket in January 2013, Celebrity Millennium.

Tendering into Patong Beach - right into the beach

here is a short video from our visit:

I strongly recommend to phone the local office - I have got absolutely no replies when sending email - neither corporate in Miami or local office!

My recommendations are

- Stay at least two days in St. Petersburg

- Cruising Stockholm Archipelago

- Copenhagen and Tallinn are nice cities to visit

Here are some links to videos from my June 2012 Baltic cruise:

I have booked the cruise on http://www.rccl.com and is dealing with RCCL direct in Norway.

Might be a sort of 'agent' but Royal Caribbean.

Looks like policies are different from country to country

I checked Specific conditions for cruise guests at http://www.rccl.no

I will argue that a change can be made at the same sailing at no additional fee - I will verify this with RCCL in Norway. Acceptable to pay a fee if change to another sailing.

Paragraph 9: Can I change my order after it is confirmed?

Yes, provided there is space on the cabin category / cruise you want to change to. Changes to another departure, another ship, cabin type, or other travel length can be made until 42 days before departure for an administration fee of NOK 250 per person.

I'm struggling fully understanding the RCCL Price Guarantee.

I have read Cruise Critic News posted May 19, 2010:

"Royal Caribbean's New Best Price Guarantee: Your Questions Answered"

- several threads on this matter and RCCL Best Price Guarantee - but I have still not got the full understanding of RCCL policy or practices.

I have booked a cruise and full payment is due in three weeks. Price on my stateroom category has dropped US$100 and I did contact RCCL in Norway in order to take advantage of this new lower price or upgrade.

- the reply I got was: "If you want, we can change the price of the booking you have to today's price, but then there will be a fee of US$ 50 per person"

So yes - I can take advantage of the new price for a fee equivalent to the saving.

Does anyone have experience with RCCL best practices and policies for changing of booking when prices has dropped prior to the full payment date.
