I would just emailed them with your confirmation number

I didn't get a confirmation number. They have a new website and I think it may be messing up.

I think it will in February.

You don't loose your deposit if you cancel.

I recently booked a tour at the Turtle Farm through their website. The payment has cleared the bank but I still have not gotten any confirmation. Do they send you something?

Somebeech - Would you recommend Smith Cove for a nice beach day as well? (Over other parts of 7 mile beach) We will be traveling with a toddler so the most important thing for her is shade and sand. An added bonus would be snorkeling for DH. Cemetery Beach has that but too remote with a toddler with no facilities and definitely no beach at Eden Rock.

From video I have seen it is a smaller beach with no facilities.

Look into Smith Cove. It is at the end of the Seven Mile Beach.

We're going in October also. 10/2 on the Getaway. You?

October 10th Paradise

Got it. I thought there was something I was missing. Just makes it more confusing! Now I'm thinking Mr. Sancho! Appreciate it.

We are doing Mr. Sancho in October. I have two little kids so as much as Carlos and Charlies looks like fun it is no place for them.

Somebeech, where are the videos? Never seen them.

Search the name plus Cozumel in youtube.

There are very good videos on the video website. It has made our decision harder.

Did they change the highway system? I thought I-12 went north of the lake and I-10 went south of the lake and thus avoiding the bridge?

There is still a water level bridge on I10.

The only porthole room I stayed in we did not get much light from them. Granted we were in E1 and at that position they are angled downward. In order to see out them we had to stretch on out tip-toes.

I've just read that NOAA is forecasting the strongest hurricane season since 2012.

I'm heading north in October. Fingers crossed. ;)

From what Ive been reading NOAA hasn't been accurate since the 2012 season. This years seasonal predictions have already been changed and it has been very quite out there.

We love Rum Point. We've been to GC several times and with kiddos that young, we'd rent a car and drive to Rum Point. It's a secluded, calm beach with snorkeling, food, drinks, shade and water toy rentals.

 

The Turtle Farm would be another good choice as would anything close by on Seven Mile beach. We just love Rum Point the best. [emoji4]

 

We've used Nativeway too, had a blast. Did the snorkel, stingray and beach (Rum Point) tour. They cut it a little close getting back to the pier, but they rushed back and we got onboard in time. I'd book with them again. 7 and 4 would be fine ages to go, if the water is choppy, you don't HAVE to leave the boat. If they don't swim, Nativeway has life jackets.

How far is Rum Point from the Turtle Farm? Where did you rent your car from? I am wanting to do a jeep because of the size and it appears all the big rental companies have are small cars.

We always book what we call a hurricane cruise, book a 7 day and hope for 8. Don't worry about the motion sickness. These are very large ships and the motion is very slight. If you do feel queasy use Bonnine its one of the best OTC meds. Enjoy your cruise and don't let the small stuff bother you.

I have had a few that were moving pretty good in a storm. It was nothing the size of a hurricane but we were getting the up and down motion as we climbed the wave.

That just doesn't sound right to me. Where are you picking up the car? What car rental company? How many days?

I am picking mine up in Indianapolis. I am a member of Emerald Club with National. I believe we are getting it for 8 days. From what I was told the reason is they will have to either pay someone to drive it back or put it on a truck and haul it back eventually if it doesn't make it back to the same area within a set time.

You may want to look into keeping the car and just parking it in the garage or somewhere. I am renting a car and for me to turn it in and then pick up another after the cruise will run a little over $1,000. But for me to keep it all week and just park it will cost just under $800.

I think you'll be fine, just don't play around. The last time I was at LAX were the shuttle dropped us off at was a bit of a walk to the entrance. Then to get to our gate we had to go out of our way because concourses were shut down and they made us take temporary halls to get around the construction.

Oh no. It seems that a lot goes into making this burger!!! I would assume there are different options for getting a burger on the ship besides Guy's

Thankfully she is a healthy eater but she sometimes likes a hamburger. When we sail on a cruise line we typically only go on the smaller ships. This October will be our first cruise in a few years as we typically would just take our boat and motor around.

Glad to have seen the recipe. My wife can't have dairy since she gets migraines from it so she won't be able to eat a plain hamburger because of the butter.

I was in Progresso and it was a place full of nice people. Half the city looked it had been bombed though. I did buy a bunch of DVD's for $5 on the beach. They were unreleased in the US and the only Spanish part was the main menu. Don't buy the Rolex watches as there is a fake factory not to far from Progresso that makes them and Coach bags.

I think it would be awesome to be able to get the room service items when you're sitting in the sports bar or anywhere decks 3-5 where there is not a lot of food (at a bar though - not someone coming to a random couch or lounge chair or anything). We go in January and want to watch the playoff games and it'd be great to be able to get a sandwich. It's not a huge deal to go get something from Lido, but when you don't want to miss the game, it'd be nice to have something come to you.

 

 

 

This is a legit question - NOT a complaint - what do you think would be the reasoning behind only delivering to rooms, not to a bar? Just curious. NOT saying they should, not saying I hate that they don't - just thinking. My guess would be not opening a can of worms - if you deliver to a bar, why not to a specific lounge chair or seat on promenade... etc, etc. Any other thoughts?

Because then they would have to deliver everywhere else.

It's a game if it's that important stay home or in your room.

For the past few months it's been only one ship in Port Everglades on Saturday and a lot of Sunday's.

This doesn't really surprise me since it takes a lot of people and a few days to get all the lobsters ready just to be cooked.

Marriott has a hotel called Miami Beach Edition. It starts around $450 a night.
