I stayed a year ago at the Holiday Inn Express but it was still on construction. I didn't like the old section at all.

What about the Hyatt Place - Fort Lauderdale 17th Street Convention Center? It used to be highly recommended too I stayed there on 2016 and it was good. Is it still good?

There used to be a few webcams on the newer Oasis Class ships buy I think they're gone now. It would be cool if they had at least a bridge cam just as Princess does https://www.princess.com/bridgecams/

If it's the Snorkel and Maho beach excursion I wouldn't take it. They sail to the small bay where the beach is but you can't swim out to stand in the beach, all the planes you see you see them either from the water or from the boat.

Disney has been doing this with their PhotoPass service for years. It's so convenient just to open your app and select the photos you like or purchase the full package even after your trip had ended.

What's wrong with Princess?

Once I got the Deluxe Stingray City Sandbar - GCI3 reserved. We got off the ship and looked out for our Shore excursion number but couldn't find it. I reached to a crew member from another tour and she told me my excursion was canceled due high winds... I walked out the pier and found a local tour company that took me to the Stingray City and had a blast! The sea wasn't as calmed as you wanted but still was very fun.

Do you have the email contact?

How soon before a cruise you would recommend to do the check in process? I'm kind of obsessive and always do it as soon as it opens but I don't know if this is good or bad.

I have to agree on Bamboo Beach. The beach was nice but the time on the bus getting to/from there was excessive, and you have only a couple of hours to be on the beach. I would add to avoid almost any Atlantis tour on Nassau

Again, I don't know where this argument comes from. This has never been discussed or considered by mexican authorities ever!

Why would we do such thing? That would be crazy, it will never happen. Retaliation has never been an option for mexican political relationship with USA. Don't let the exaggerated media discourage you from traveling. Touristic areas, specially Cozumel are extremely safe.

And KFC = Kentucky Fried Chicken ?Sorry

I think it depends on the ship you will be sailing. For Oasis class it seems very clear the benefits but for Quantum class ships it doesn’t states if iFly, Bumper Cars, North Star and other venues or activities are included...

The problem is that by mexican law no one is obligated to accept USD, they do it because is better for tourism. Because of that is better to know the current exchange rate so there is no chance someone will try to take advantage of you.

On what Cruise Planer section is iFly?

This only applies to some touristic áreas like Tulum, not all México. The exchange rate vendors will give you isn't that good. If you want you could change some Pesos buy you will be fine with USD.

This is strange... for my Ovation cruise on August 2nd reservation for Pixels opened Today... but no sign of iFly or NorthStar

You forgot one of the biggest... "sharing drink packages" ?

I agree. I think that Hyatt Ziva is the one exception. Still, 30 min each way isn't close as other beaches in other ports. ?

CocoCay Perfect Day "opening" day . ?

Almost every Beach or similar excursions involves a loooooooooooong bus ride from and to the ship (some of them more than an hour long one way) I would stay on the ship ?

On Harmony while on Cozumel there were a lot of people (and I mean A LOT) with visitor badges (Travel Agents and special guests) everywhere. I don't see the logistic nightmare, it seems that RC knows how to handle this kind of situation very well.

Last year I sailed on Harmony and I had to use Royal iQ, now I see that Harmony doesn't use it anymore and now uses the new app. I wonder if RCI will include Ovation on the new app before Alaska Cruise season...

I experienced something similar a few months ago. Waited almost 20 minutes to get greeted. Then other 15 minutes to the waiter to arrive. Other 30 minutes to the starters to arrive. Then other 20 minutes waiting for the main course until we gave up and just left. No one there seemed to care, and there were only about 5 or 6 tables in the restaurant.
