Yes you can bring on the ship.

In Cabo, visit Cabo Hemingways Cuban Mojito Lounge for Cubans, Mojitos and Tequila. It is really a cigar store that also has drinks available. Great full humidor and they are so very helpful. It isn't far from the marina at all and they have cigars in all price ranges and in every taste. You might see a sign that says JNJCompany which is the same place.

We tried to find Justin on March 7th but to no avail. We ended up using Espernaza Tours in the Marina and Jorge was our captain. Great guy, safety first, fluent english speaker and $30 for two of us for 21/2 hours. Felipe of Esperanza was the guy our on the walkway. We (we went early and only had the two of us in the boat) went out to Pelcian beach and fed fish, went to the Arch and then around it to Divorce Beach and watched a fisherman land a big Tuna. Then Jorge landed us on Lover's Beach where we stayed for 45 minutes or so and he came back on time and took us to another beach and then back to the marina. Good people and we had a great experience.

We just did this on March 7th. We didn't book through the ship. Look for Felipe of Esperanza's tours in the marina after you leave the tender. Felipe assigned Jorge to us as our captain and we spent $15 per person for two of us for 2 and 1/2 hours. Go early if you can to avoid crowds on the beach. We watched whales breaching just off the beach for 15 minutes. He took us past the arch, past divorce beach, landed us on Lover's Beach (guys helping unload there for tips and will help you back on). Jorge came back on time and took us to other places. It was great and you should have no problem. They have lots of people working and lots of boats and they were reliable. On time, good captain, and very helpful. The tender trip in takes but a few minutes but once again, go early if possible to avoid congestion on the beach. There were 2 people on the beach when we arrived but asthe day went on, lots of people arrived.

We just returned from the Grand Princess and we went to the Marriott. It was wonderful. 550 pesos per person but you get 450 peso credit per person for food and drinks. We had lunch, 4 beers, one Pina Colada and one glass of wine and still had 170 pesos to spend. Beers are 55 peso so we could have had three more beers but didn't. It is a great deal, the resort is beautful and it has a private beach, wonderful pool area and you can use the whole resort. I highly recommend it.

I failed to mention the trip was from Southampton to London to get to Eurostar.

We just completed a 12 night British Isles Cruise and wanted to go to Paris on Eurostar. We hired a driver to meet us at the cruise terminal and he took us to the station and it was wonderful. It was a private car, Mercedes sedan, and it took about 2 1/2 hours with traffic in the morning. But he got us to the station in plenty of time and parked at a location very close to the front doors of the station. It was perfect. Here is who we used:

Maurice O Callaghan

He was great. He picked us up at the dock and we had him all day. You can book him for 8-9 hours for €300 and that is a vehicle that can hold 6 people. We had just two of us and it was perfect since we could decide when and where to go. We were the first in Blarney Castle and the first two people to kiss the Blarney Stone with his help getting us there before the crowds.

He is a great person to talk to and really helps understand the entire area. We had the greatest meal in Kinsale after he told us where to eat!!
