With all the talk in the media about Mexico Travel Advisories, how likely is it that RCI would cancel or reroute some of their Mexican itineraries? Especially the west coast ones like Cabo, Vallarta & Mazatlan..

The next closest hotel to the cruise pier in San Pedro is the Crown Plaza Los Angeles Harbor Hotel. This is a nicer hotel than the Studio 6, but in the same neighborhood.

We're staying at Crown Plaza Los Angeles Harbor Hotel for this cruise. Is it a safe area? Is there places to eat at close enough to walk to and safe enough to walk to?

With all the talk about "Travel Warning" to Cabo, Vallarta & Mazatlan do you think it's safe to do excursions? Also what do you think is the chance that RCI will cancel or reroute this cruise?

I’m back for more help. We’re cruising out of Denmark next month and this will be our first cruise out of somewhere other than the US. Also this will be our first international flight. So my question is, What are some things that are different about international flights and cruising out of another country that you wish you knew on your first time?  

Johnny Rockets will have them but I believe they use Texas toast so we always ask for extra extra cheese. Not too bad that way. I may even add a little bacon as well.

Thanks guys. So I can take a Home Test on the ship and take it the day before we get off the ship? We fly back on the day we get off. 

In May we’re flying from the US to Denmark for a cruise. What are the requirements to fly out of and back into the US? If a COVID test is required to fly back into the US does the ship still supply one for you? 

I board for my cruise next Sunday, 7 days from now.  How late can you cancel a voom package and still get refunded? 

I've got 4 device surf & stream for a back to back on Oasis next week for $22 a day.  Now I bought that over a year ago, so. The prices have gone up quite a bit in the last year. 

What style BBQ does it resemble? I'm from the Memphis Tennessee area so BBQ is on most for our menus. 

Since the Windjammer is closed for dinner has the dress code in the main dining been relaxed any? Not asking can I "be a Rebel" and go against dress code recommendations, but has RCI or any one ship (specifically Allure) actually announced a temporary Dress Code relax.   Also where are some other places to eat every night that doesn't cost $100 a couple? Thank You

I've booked cruise and checking Cruise Planner from time to time waiting for good internet deal to come up.

Is there a way (like notifications) to be alerted when  new deals are available?

Also what is a good deal for Voom (4 devices)?  Currently is $37 per day (on Ovation of the Seas).

thanks

Went there in Feb and loved it. Here’s a short video of our experience there. 

There was a bunch more to it but wanted to make it short & sweet. Very interesting.

Nice Video.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. 

I made a short amateur video of our tour excursion in Cuba Feb 9th. Really enjoyed Cuba so thought I would share a little of it. 

We have been on Majesty, all the Voyage Class except Voyager,,all the Freedom Class, all the Oasis Class, and going on Ovation in Sept. That is about 12, right? So just a few more to go. But love a challenge. LOL

I’m a NEWBIE, our first cruise is in Feb 2019, Freedom to Southern Caribbean.

What is a TENDER port? Or Tendering??

Sorry for the the ignorance 

It’s where the ship anchors out from the port and you take a “tender” (smaller boat) into the port. There will be several coming and going from ship to shore all day. 

What are some must dos/see for Cuba in February?

...and nobody else travelling with him was kind enough to offer to get some for him while they were out and about in port?

That's not so cool either...

I think you will find that all types of underwear are available in Spain... from boxers to g-strings.

There is no reason he had to wash a single item every day for 12 days... other than stupidity.

I'll bet your just a real joy to be stuck on a cruise ship with aren't you. 

The cruise is on Sept. 20th. 

Need some hotel recommendations for Vancouver. We will be arriving a day early and would like to be close to the port but also in a good area to do a little sightseeing, exploring, and/or eating within walking distance. If all of that is possible within the same area. Thanks.
