  1. We just came back from a week long cruise on the Carnival Legend. I found some information on Cruise Critic about taxi drivers and private tours. I contacted several different drivers and decided to go with Santiago. He was awesome. Picked us up at the taxi station. Took us to his air conditioned van and had an ice chest ready for us with sodas, water and beer. There were 9 in our party. We prearranged through email with him what we wanted to do. First stop was some shopping downtown. Then it was off to tour the island. We went to a small bar and the end of the island called Coconuts. Great views, the best shrimp ceviche I've ever had and cold cocktails. Also amazing guacamole and salsa. Santiago stopped at a few different places for us to see and take photos. You have lots of options on where to go and what to do. Then he took us to the beach where he had arranged free snorkeling and kayaking for us. He was awesome. Very informative and great english. All for $25 per person for ALL day (note that many of the others are $25-$35 for only 3 hours). You can reach him at sanzaparadise@hotmail.comEudaldo

     

    My family agrees 100%. We were with Santiago last Thursday, June 12th. It was the best tour we have had. He will customize your day, the way you want it. Our tour was very similar to yours and we can't say enough good things about him. Contact him. He responds to all questions and you pay at the end of the tour. You will be taken good care of and will enjoy!

  2. A few questions for experinced cruisers, your help is appreciated. I will be sailing on Oasis out of Ft. Lauderdale and would like to carry on my luggage. I know it will have to go through the security scanners so what is the largest size lugguage allowed?

    Do both adults in the cabin have to get the beverfage package? My husband would like the one with unlimited beer, but I don't drink more than a couple of mixed drinks a day. It would be best for me to pay as I go.

    Also, does Oasis do self assit leaving the ship allowing you to take off your luggage? If yes, when does this usually start?

  3. I hope someone will have an update on major roadwork at Cruise Parking of Port Canaveral. I booked parking for 2 cars at Cruise Parking of Port Canaveral, 3520 N. Cocoa Blvd. for week of 11/2. I received confirmation mid July. Today, I went to their website to verifiy address/directions. The site now says "Temporarily Closed" due to major roadwork in front of their parking facility. It says Nov 1st is the earliest they may be able to reopen. I've sent them an email and am waiting for their response. I'm worried and may need a backup plan for parking. Does anyone know how the roadwork is going or heard from Cruise Parking regarding their reservations?

  4. We booked an inside guarantee on the Emerald Princess, sailing 11/29/09.

     

    Received notification we've been assigned cabin R211 (Riviera Deck). On the deck plans it appears the cabin is under the Lotus Spa/Gym area.

     

    Has anyone sailed in this cabin or any cabins near it? Did you experience any noise from above? During the day isn't a problem, but early morning and late night would concern me. Also, now that a cabin has been assigned, do you think it might change again since we originally booked guarantee or once assigned it remains as assigned?

     

    Appreciate any insights.
