Now that Christmas is over, let the "CRUISEMAS"countdown begin!

Amen! The Michigan winter hasn't been awful yet, but we've had a serious lack of sunshine with heavy cloud cover for the past month. It's so depressing when I get home from work at around 4:30 and it already seems SO DARK outside.

And the sign says you got to have your Sea Pass Card to get inside

30 DAYS! Got my GTY Balcony assignment last night and scored a SPACIOUS Ocean View Balcony. Time to print out those luggage tags!

BLASPHEMY! Jack Daniels is NOT bourbon.

@MichaelS One more thing! Check-In opens at midnight SHIP TIME. For example, if your cruise is leaving from Florida, check-in will open at 11:00PM Texas time.

If your goal is to simply secure an early boarding time, you can log in and ONLY secure a time for everyone in your party and do the rest later!

Are you viewing this price in CAD instead of USD? USD price would be $69.63.

Luggage tags are generally not available until 30 days before the cruise.

Careful what you wish for! Someone glued my deck of cards together and I just can't deal with it!

Chacchoben is terrific. We went to the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins through a third-party vendor that included a really good traditional Mayan style lunch. (The tour was offered by The Native Choice through shoreexcursions.com). VERY knowledgeable tour guide (college archeology student) and very clean, comfortable transportation. The ruins are truly a sight to behold.

I used to have this problem when I used a duffel bag as my carryon. Thankfully, when I switched to using a Wenger Swissgear backpack, I was very happy to see that the front pouch has a carabiner style hook to keep my keys in a known location for the duration of our vacation!

You're welcome for the heads up. 11:00? I'll be ordering my third bourbon by then!

WEATHER! I say this because of all the ways that could impact our cruise vacation. 1. Bad winter weather cancelling or severely delaying our flight from Michigan. 2. Storms and or rough seas making for miserable (or even nauseating) sea days. We've had this happen. 3. Storms and or rough seas preventing tendering or docking at ports of call. We've also had this happen. Same cruise as above. 4. Bad weather possibly cancelling or impacting excursions or port days. The Bahamas isn't very fun or tropical on a cloudy, drizzly, 55 to 60-degree day.

CHECK-IN IS OPEN! By coincidence alone, I woke up at 3:12am (12:12am Ship Time/Pacific Time) and snagged a 10:30-11:00 arrival time. 45 days!

I forgot about this VERY important detail. And the price difference I was speaking of was the $40 difference from Direct Purchase versus A2S.

I'm going to guess that the "direct with the airline" price is non-refundable. Airlines generally have a much higher upcharge for refundable fares while all Air2Sea bookings are refundable for somewhere around the price difference you have stated. Speaking of A2S being refundable, if the price increase is a penalty/fee for rebooking and NOT a difference in price due to factors like time of day/day of the week, have you considered cancelling this A2S booking and starting over?

I was just coming to comment on a similar issue. I updated the App last night and now the "Essentials" menu is showing up in Spanish.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone received email reciepts for purchases today? I snagged the beverage package for 35% off and a MUCH cheaper price on the Taste of Royal Lunch. (30% less that what I originally paid) I got a cancellation email for the TOR Lunch but I have yet to get any emails for the repurchase of that or the other purchase of the Drink Package. I know I don't actually need them since they show up in the app, but I do like to have the confirmation.

No. It's just like canceling/repurchasing any other cruise planner items (like drink packages and the like) Be prepared to repurchase right away though. I've heard of some instances of items selling out in the time it takes to cancel and rebook the reservation. So, I'd be wary of any excursions you have booked listed as something like "10 spots left".

You're welcome. This has become our go to for third-party Caribbean excursions.
