Thank you so much for the helpful advice!

Thanks for the honest opinion! Both Valldemossa and the train to Soller look interesting. We are really into history, architecture and just wandering pretty squares. Shopping is not a priority. Which would you recommend?

Hi. I’ve booked the Son Amar Flamenco show through the ship for our Celebrity Equinox cruise starting in one week. But I’m having last minute thoughts about whether to use so much of our day on Palma with this Has anyone done this excursion lately? Or seen a show there? Wondering if our time would be better spent touring Palma City or maybe visiting Valdemossa….

Hi, I have booked a ship's tour to Asilah with a city tour of Tangier afterwards. Has anyone has taken this excursion? I'm wondering if it allows any time for shopping in one of the markets in Tangier. Thanks!

Hi. Are there any restrictions in what you can buy with the Deluxe beverage package while still in port in San Juan?

Thank you! Good to know!

I really, really wish that RCL would spell these things out better. We will be on JOTS in February. I know the DBP includes the specialty coffees and teas from Cafe Latte-tudes, but does anyone know if it includes the milkshakes (assuming they have those?) and/or the alcoholic drinks that are on that menu?

Hi Yogamom. We haven't been yet. Our cruise isn't until May.

Hi Squiggles. As the other recent posts in this forum have said, there don't appear to be any cruise ships stopping at Trinidad and Tobago right now. I know Royal Caribbean starts in November, so hopefully we will start to see some feedback then. I know it's frustrating at this point. I have also tried to ask questions on the T*Advisor forum, but get no answers or oddly short answers when I ask about safety or about things to do. Our cruise stops at Trinidad during Carnival, which sounds great, but when I asked about suggestions for where we could hang out to see parade/costumes, all I got was "Queens Savannah Park" (which is specifically spelled out in the State Department warning as a place to avoid!). It kind of leads me to think that maybe locals know they've got a serious crime problem, but don't want to "trash" their island on the forum. Most posts do say that Tobago is considered safer...

I'm confused by this answer. Looking at the attached PDF, it shows that premium coffees are only included in the premium package, not the classic package?

Hi. Really interested in doing this on Equinox next May! LOVE sea turtles, so I would love to have that be my souvenir for the trip 🐢 Anyone have any updates on this experience? Are they still letting you do a lot of the work yourself? And someone mentioned that on Equinox you need to go to the glass area during the first day demo? And wondering how early ion boarding day we need to go there.

Yeah, I just thought it odd that some reviews said cabins were updated and some weren't. Maybe it was just that certain cabins are showing more wear and tear.

Hi. I've read a lot of posts saying that some of the cabins on JOTS have been updated, but some haven't been? I thought that when refurbishments were done, all the cabins are updated at that time, so I'm confused about this. Not that it matters for our upcoming cruise, since it's about sold out, just curious ...

Yes, unless you have kids in the group that need to be with parents, I would second the recommendation for 2 tables. We've done several cruises with groups of 10-12 and conversations more enjoyable at a table of six.

Thanks. Yes, mostly answers my questions. I AM concerned about not being on a ship's excursion at a destination so far from the port. I have booked Celebrity's excursion for now. The only thing that concerns me, though, is when I read the description of the tour it says "From the Albaicín, view the breathtaking Alhambra Palace", which almost makes it sound as if there isn't an actual tour of the palace, so I'll have to research that. No way I would go all the way to Granada and not tour the Alhambra palace!
