Has anybody done the Tiki Boat rental on Cucacoa?  If so, how far is it from the cruise port?  It is my understanding that we would have to take a taxi.

Thanks for any input, good and/or bad.

Did Captain Marvin's Stingray City, 2 snorkel stops and lunch 20 years ago on our honeymoon, and his was the best excursion that week.  Was going to book again with him when we are there in November but he doesn't go out on Sundays - any suggestions???

South  route is best

Was the snorkeling good along the South route?

Denise5374 would love to hear your thoughts about Winsome Tours when you get back.  Thanks!

Does anybody know, if it is possible, to book a tour a Blue Flag Taxi Tour ahead of when you arrive in port.  I've looked everywhere and can not find a website.  Thanks!

Will be in Bermuda for two days in October.  Has anyone used Bermudaful Island Tours or Ricky's Minibus Tours?  Would appreciate your thoughts

I'm cruising on Wonder of the Seas on December 31st and was able to reserve all our shows on Royal's website last week with no trouble.  I did not try the app.

There are 5 couples going on the Wonders for New Year's Eve and we all reserved the 6 shows offered last week on Royal's website.

Looking for a Snorkeling excursion recommendation for Huatulco.  I apologize if this has been asked previously.

 I guess to logistically challenging but it there would be nice for cruise ships to dump Cabo San Lucas and add Huatulco. Cabo San Lucas has the coldest ocean and weather and the worst swimmable beaches in Mexico. Cabo San Lucas to me is also one of the most expensive places I have been to in Mexico. Maybe all of North America. There is no value in Cabo San Lucas and being hounded by timeshare sales people and vendors on Medano beach is no fun.

 Huatulco has some great snorkelling from the shore. 100 dive sites in town and one of the cleanest places you will see. Green Globe Certification and the only resort destination in Mexico that has it. Taxis only cost 30 pesos to go anywhere in town and 75 pesos by taxi will get you to about 20 beaches.  

 Huatulco has by far the warmest weather and warmest ocean and great snorkelling from the shore. 

 Come on cruise ships, dump Cabo San Lucas and add Huatulco.

Thanks you so much for posting this!!!!  I have just started my research for our Panama Canal cruise in late February and getting discouraged because I haven't found many posts on Huatulco.  Snorkeling would be on top of our list of things to do.

Not sure if I follow since it came out of dry dock, guessing you are talking about a specific ship?

 

But yes, hors d'oeuvres are still offered on board.

 

Usually at happy hour time.

I forgot to say HAL Oosterdam but thanks for the reply!

Complimentary hors d’oeuvres are served during evening hours in the lounges upon request. These are different than the Starters in the Main Dining Room. We love to go to the Crow’s Nest, listen to the music and have hors d’oeuvres before dinner. Complimentary cold appetizers and freshly-made snack bars are also available throughout the day in the Explorations Café. In the Daily Program, there’s usually a listing for A Little Something, offering the Pinnacle Grill's appetizer for that evening (while there’s a charge for the beverages offered, in my experience you can request only the appetizer, which is complimentary. I get them to go).

Does anyone know if HAL still offers complimentary hors d'oeures since it came out of dry dock? It is my understanding that several of the lounges have been re-designed and that music isn't even offered in the Crow's Nest anymore. Thanks!
