  1. If you aren't looking for all inclusive we really enjoyed Paradise Beach. You have to take a taxi which are safe to do. It was $3/person to get in, they do ask you spend at least $10/person on food. They have inflatables for an extra charge if your kids like that. The $3 get you in and a chair on the beach or by the pool. They also have really clean bathrooms and changing rooms. You can find other reviews online and more info on their website.

  2. We are on the Liberty in April and fly into Hobby the day before. Since we get in late in the day we are staying near the airport. I was planning on using Uber to get to the Port (4 of us). Anyone ever had problems with getting an Uber to and from the Port?

    We flew in Jan 13th took Uber from IAH to a hotel in Galveston Sat at 4pm cost was $75 then we took it again Jan 21 when we got back but only to Texas City so we could get a car a budget since we had a 9:30pm flight That one was $23. Both times they were there quick, we had no issues. If anyone does stay on the island and wants to explore but doesn't have a car the Galveston trolley's were really fun and just $1 per adult each way. It can take a while to get there but the drivers we had were all very nice! Plus you can't beat $4 round trip to the strand.

  3. Depends on the TA we have booked most without and only one with. On that one anytime we had a question it took at least 24 hours for her to call or email back. If I had found a price decrease it would have been too late. I saw zero reason to use one so unless they have something to offer I wouldn't use one again. I do lots of research I actually enjoy it so I prefer to change things now if I want not when I can get ahold of someone.

  4. I had purchased the Refreshment package for myself and my teen back in the summer. With in the last month after the change I was able to call in and add the alcohol for my husband only. The didn't even ask about me buying the higher package. I said I was calling to buy him a package and they added it no questions asked.

  5. We have been on three cruises. We have had port changes on two of the three. Once we were notified as we boarded the other was during the cruise. Things happen there was really no way they could know 30 days in advance how quickly these islands could be back up and running. The person who told you that was definitely wrong. I had seen posted many time by Royal Caribbean they were posting as far in advance as possible and they time frame was 2-3 days. Many people didn't even know their cruise was cancelled until the day of. It's tough to have changes in plans but weather happens. Maybe a land based vacation would be a better fit then the only thing you would have to worry about is airlines and that can be another whole set of changes.

  6. It will include any pictures of those in your cabin plus any of your minor children and any pictures any of you are in. If there are others you want individual pictures of you can buy them individually. I think there is a discount for multiple cabins but I have never used it and I'm not positive they still do that. The price can vary by ship and sail date. Our Jan 2018 cruise on Liberty is showing $210/cabin right now.

  7. The Fun Shops online has purified water 12 pack (16.9 fluid oz. bottles) for $4.50

    The beverage package is only $8.50 daily that includes bottled water and thats less money than the refreshment. package I think?

     

     

    It's the soda only package that is $8.50 a day. The refreshment is the lowest that includes bottled water and it is usually $26/day but can offend be found for $19/day. That is still a lot to pay if you only want bottled water.

  8. I agree with calling. I saw a drop of around $100 last week for our Jan 2018 sailing so I called on it. The lady says I can actually do $340 less if you want that rate instead I asked if there was any difference and make sure I keep my room she just said nothing else would change. I have no idea what rate she gave me but I have the confirmation and my cruise is paid off so I will take it!

  9. The thing too is while much of these islands are damaged there are some that weren't as bad. You can see that they are fixing them fast. Take Key West for example they are "welcoming" ships starting this weekend. Several who live there think it's crazy because so much is still bad but for those who can open they want and need the customers as soon as possible so they can start making money again. Many of these businesses can't wait forever to reopen so if there is any way possible they want tourist to start spending money now. They more money small business make the sooner the islands can recover and they can feed their families.
