I've always wondered how this works. If you just pour cremated remains over board a moving ship from the height of a cruise ship there's bound to be a heckuva mess, with most of the ashes just blowing away in the wind...

I would imagine that you'd have to have your sail and sign card updated on the day you turn 21, but I believe it's totally doable.

Thanksgiving 2010 on the Carnival Fascination... My grandmother died during Thanksgiving 2009, so my mom booked this as a family trip since every other year of my life prior, we had spent it with my grandmother... It was almost 4 years later in the summer of 2014 that I took my first solo cruise on the Glory...

Who the heck gets a KISS tattoo (including an individual picture of one of the members) and then can't even name a single song by them? Something tells me that after the spitting incident you kept your distance from this schmuck for the rest of the cruise... I'll give you my top three, in no particular order: Strutter, Black Diamond, 100,000 Years...

I've been out that way a couple of times, most recently to the La Sirena bar / restaurant in Camp Bay. Sometimes drivers don't want to go all the way out there since it a pretty good drive, and the road turns into a dirt road out that far. I believe they've paved it now, so probably easier to catch a ride out there. You definitely won't run into to tourists from the ship out there, as most are hesitant to go that far. Just make sure if you do go, to have a driver that will stay there with you the entire time.

It's a great way to see "the other side" of the island if you've never been there before. I've done it three or four times, I believe, but now I just hire my own driver so I can go to the places I want to go. Coconuts, which is one of the stops for the bar hop is famous for over charging as well as the worst margaritas in Cozumel. Unfortunately the bar hop doesn't visit the two best bars on the East side: Mezcalitos and Welcome to Miami aka the Coconut Cabana aka 25 Hour Bar...

The filet had a weird texture last time I cruised, but that may have been an isolated incident... I usually get: shrimp cocktail, stuffed mushrooms, baked onion soup, and some sides...

No secret decks on the Excel class ships... Embarkation day lunch at the buffet, Guy's Burgers, Blue Iguana, Street Eats, Shaq'S Big Chicken, the Deli, and Pizza... You don't NEED a reservation for anything, just check in on the app or walk up. You can make a reservation at Rudy's or the Steakhouse prior to boarding if you want...

I've never been "across the pond" before, but this is always what I imagine it looks like over there... Narrow alleys, old stone buildings, ect...

I don't drink the fancy stuff, just the strong black coffee, but I saw people getting all kinds of different coffee concoctions there. There'll be ten people in line at Java Blue while you can just walk up and order here...

This is basically the entire building where I work... A place where people with too much money and too much time on their hands shop...

Yes, the area marked Plaza Bar is what I've been calling Ocean Plaza Bar, AKA: the "secret coffee line"...

Amazing guy? He must be remembering someone else:)

SoCal Cantina is my favorite, and it's right across the street from the CitizenM Brickell... Still walking distance you have Trulucks which is more upscale, but with good happy hour bites. Across the bridge is Lost Boy and Over Under, which are dive bars with great food and drinks. Tobacco Road is also good, and only two blocks from the hotel...

Dangit', I'm so jealous that you get to have drinks from Big Nikola all week... Tell him Sid said hello. He'll know whom you're talking about...
