No preseason football on the seascape. Sister in law couldn't watch the jets choke and lose so she thought screaming at guest services would change the fact that you can't pick up NBC from new york city in the middle of the ocean....

Yes. Im wondering if I should just go to el cielo from the pier in cozumel by pre arranging a tour. My only fear is what if it rains?

I was looking at prices of tours on viator and they seem to be more expensive than even what youd find locally. I do have my own snorkel mask, but no fins if that makes a difference. I was trying to stay relatively inexpensive in price if that matters?

We'll be there in August. Probably not a smart idea... but I wanted to go somewhere with good snorkeling and everyone is saying El cielo or Playa Palancar is really good for that but OMG the prices....

How were the food prices? And I will definitely eat more than a few shrimp LOL

BARGAIN SHOP! we're trying MSC this year because their pricing was pretty much unbeatable even with WIFI and Drinks - on a brand new ship, and was LESS than a RCL cruise on one of their old ships. we bargain shop. no any one line gets our loyalty, our loyalty is to our wallet. I think we're at 1800 for 2 people for a week in a balcony which isnt bad, last october for our honeymoon with RCL on a much older ship we paid just that for the cruise fare, not including the ridiculously overpriced beverage package even with one of their sales it still came out to an extra almost 800$ between the 2 of us. We figure we can live with some idiosyncrasies if the ships are as gorgeous as they look and the itinerary couldn't be beat.

Hey all - We're on MSC Seascape on 7-30 out of Miami. We'll be in Cozumel on Aug 4th I believe. I'm interested in Chanknaab park but I am also interested in saving money and refuse to book ANYTHING through MSC as i've read far too many horror stories and bad reviews, plus I've been to Cozumel before (lets hope this time I don't lose my wallet....!) I keep reading about there being an all inclusive or buffet option mostly through sites like viator or shoreexcursioneer. Is there a way I can purchase this with my ticket directly through Chanknaab park website itself, or do I have to get one of the pricey dolphin excursions that i'm not interested in?

I have a code for government employees because im a contractor. Did absolutely no good.

also the rental car was very cost prohibitive once they tacked on the "one way drop off" fee. Yikes.

25$ x 7 = WAY more than what we're paying for the hotel. Besides, it's been a while since I've been to Miami and since the brother and sister in law are coming from upstate NY AND it's my husband's birthday we figured we'd spend a night in Miami and explore so we're coming in on the 29th.

No I have not... thats another great idea!!!

My family of four are cruising out of MIA July 30th on the Seashore. We booked a room at the LaQuinta Airport East? One of the three over that way. They have free parking which I am quite quickly learning that NOT every, or rather, hardly any, hotels in MIA offer this. I'm ASSUMING my vehicle will be safe if I leave it with the hotel?? I mean, it is heavily insured (and honestly if they want to steal it they can have the payment that comes with it LOL)... but i'd rather NOT come back to my car being gone / broken into. Every thread i've searched says DONT park in any of the off site lots, but I'm really trying to cut our costs here. Their shuttle was ridiculously expensive per person, so we're just going to split an Uber / Lyft. Anyone have any other ideas on other hotels that may offer free parking? The google reviews on this place kind of make me want to change locations but for the price it really can't be beat.
