Hotel Recommendations near the Port of Boston?
billdauterive replied to Mary C's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I stayed at the Hyatt Place in the seaport district last year and loved the location. It's only a few blocks from the port and is a block away from a drop off for the Silver Line bus from the airport (that is free). The Seaport is very up and coming and everything in that area is walkable from the hotel. You can also take said silver line to the downtown station just a few blocks away from Boston Common for a couple bucks. I think I spent less than $10 total for transportation that trip. -
Ditto. It's been on disembarkation morning for me for probably at least a year.

Yes, most in fact are round trip by train. Look for the ones that are just the White Pass Railroad and not the ones that are about the summit. They should have multiple options for departure times.

Great location/atmosphere, just ok beer. Definitely will frequent again.

My answer has changed to Aruba and Curacao.

That's the 4000 point level which are all only for 2 as they have always been. Currently the new offers for 1 only go up to the 2000 point level (a05).

Anyone Familiar With Pier 12 Parking in Galveston?
billdauterive replied to Vincent's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
Pier 10 and 12 are new to me and a appear to be small new additions, but I park at Pier 14 all the time. Shuttles are plentiful and it's very easy to get in and out, especially if you don't have any luggage to check. It's also less than 1/2 mile walk to the terminal if the weather is nice and you're physically able. -

Entertainment Reservations

Also the Perfect Day at Coco Cay tab appears for ALL sailings now, even if the itinerary doesn't include it. -
Entertainment Reservations
billdauterive replied to warrenz1963's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
It appears they made change to the website. From what I can tell that tab will now only appear for ships and dates that have entertainment available for reservations. All my further out sailings don't have it and all my close non-Oasis/Quantum class sailings don't have it. I do still see it for my only Oasis class sailing within 60 days that I just reserved yesterday. -

Back to the original question, I'm partial to Costa Maya just because of Maya Chan. Excluding Maya Chan, I probably enjoy Grand Cayman the most overall. Hopefully my answer will change to Aruba and/or Curacao as well here in a few weeks... If you want the complete opposite, Ensenada is the perfect example of a day to stay on the ship. I know it's not the Caribbean but I think the Mexican Riviera is similar enough to what you're actually looking for, North American warm weather ports.

Which brewery and where is it? I'll be in Aruba and Curacao for the first time in a few weeks.

Recommendations Needed For Roatan, Costa Maya & Cozumel
billdauterive replied to Vincent's topic in Shore Excursions
Don't overthink it since this is your first time: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2022/09/26/best-shore-excursion-every-caribbean-cruise-port Cozumel - Nachi Cocum or Paradise Beach Costa Maya - Maya Chan Roatan - Victor Bodden private tour and monkey/sloths I've done this itinerary MANY times and I almost always end up with at least some variation of the the above. -

Entertainment Reservations
billdauterive replied to warrenz1963's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
26 days out and mine just opened up today too. This was by far the closest to sail date I've had before it was open. Obviously they must open a batch of sailings all at once and not 1 at a time at a regular cadence. -
Back to back check in question?
billdauterive replied to RCIfan1912's topic in Royal Caribbean Discussion
I'm not sure if you actually have to check in again or not in the app as I always have just to be safe. Obviously the check in time doesn't matter, but personally I never want to chance something funky happening if they didn't have my passport and other information for the next sailing if I didn't check in. The rest of the process is really easy as shown in Matts video. Short version, you'll meet at a specific venue disembarkation morning where they will give you the card for the next cruise. Then once the ship is almost empty they'll escort all the b2bs off and through customs just as a normal disembarkation, and then escort you right back on the ship (or after a short wait in the terminal until 0 count). -
