I have a cruise scheduled for 10/14. I booked it under my maiden name, but will be married by then. I understand that the name I booked it under must match my ID (passport). But if I get my passport/drivers license changed before the cruise, how difficult is it to changed the booked name? Should I just keep my passport/drivers license in my maiden name to make things easier?

so.....how do I check on price drops? Go to their website and pretend to book a room? Or call my agent?

Hi......I'm just about to book a cruise on Explorer for next October 2014. The price looks good to me as it is, but when/how do price drops happen? How do I keep an eye out for them? Should I expect any? And when I see one, how do I go about taking advantage of it?

Thanks!

Please, oh pleaase, where to go beach-wise in Nassau! I've been there a few times, but never knew which beach to try…..and have always been disappointed with Nassau. We are heading there in March on a honeymoon…..and love to snorkel…..so……you're the expert……what beach would you recommend???

We just got back. It was wonderful......met all my expectations. My kids (age 9 and 17) thought it was very interesting (realize they are both science geeks). We rented a car through Avis...$35 for 200 free miles. Only plan was to see the Caves at St Martin. Low tide was at 8:30am local time. We pulled into port at 9am local (8am boat time). Walked less than 10 minutes to Avis. Got car and quick directions from the staff there. Drove to St Martin...nice drive. Got to the caves before 10am local. There was plenty of "beach" left to go and explore the caves that were close to the restaurant. Actually, there was just the 4 of us, and 5 other guys who also rented a car on the entire beach for quite a while. We did see how quickly the tide came in because the 5 guys were a bit ahead of us, going around the cliff, and the tide started to rise. They had to wade through knee deep water for only 2 or 3 steps on the path.

The first 2 buses from the boat got there, and most people went in to eat. Then they went out to explore while we ate. I'm so glad we got there early (about 30-40 minutes before them). We heard later that 2 more buses got there around noontime local, and they couldn't venture out at all....and were very disappointed............ I'm so glad we rented a car!

A nice cabbie that we talked with at the restaurant told us about a couple nice diversions on our way back to Saint John....we went to a quiet lighthouse, saw some sweet mini horses, and found a great little back road that took us to another beach to experience the tide.

We measured that the tide was coming in a solid foot every 30 seconds. To me, it was amazing.

I'm so glad I got to see this place....quiet, amazing, loved the lupine!!!!
