Has anyone found CLase Azul tequila in the port area?

Has anyone found Clase Azul tequila near the RCCL Pier?

Thanks,

Frank

We searched and searched for information on this port and what to do.  Then we stumbled accross ToursByLocals.  We found Christina Auais and started talking about what we would want to see.  She made this tour and it was great!

She picked us up where the pier shuttles drop you off.  She took us straight to the ruins (giving background information on the way).  Once there she got us an expert guide who provided an excellent tour.  Then it was off to Merida.  She told us about the history of the region on our way into town.  Once there, we parked her car, downtown, and started the walking tour.  She took us to the Governor's Palace, showed us the murals that line the inner plaza (explaining them all in detail).  She walked us around the square and to the museum in the Montejo House.  She walked us through several city squares, pointing out buildings of significance.  Then we went to lunch to experience the local culture.  It was great!.  Back to the car and then we stopped for some sorbet (at a place the locals love) before returning us to the shuttle drop off.  She picked us up about 8:30 and we were back about 2:30.  Great tour, great tour guide!  We highly recommend her.

Great!  Thank you for all the responses

So we were booked on one of the cancelled Symphony cruises.  I had redeemed several RCL/BOA Visa points for onboard credit.  Is there any way to get the points back or did that ship sail without me?

Frank, I just ran into Marty. He said to tell you he is headed to quarantine.

 

He looks good. Probably won't need your services any time soon. 

Miaminative,

There are few things I can think of that are worse than being quarantined with him!  Thanks for seeking him out!  I hope your trip continues to be virus free.

Thanks,

Frank

Miaminative,

If you meet my friend Marty, big guy driving a red scooter, staying in suites, also.... tell him he looks good and ask him if he played football!  Then tell him I said "hello"

Thank you, NightOne!

I would love to see specifically what the email said....any chance you would be willing to share it in its entirety?  

Thanks,

Frank

so, no one ever answered the question about luggage storage....do the resorts store luggage while you are hanging out at the pool?

So after a long absence, we decided to use the fccs and book something.  we went to our go to site, that can't be mentioned here.  they gave the option to filter cruises by those which require a vaccine and those that do not (not all of our travel companions are).  We narrowed it down to a couple that did not require it, shared the news and asked opinions.  Tonight, we went back to the site only to find that feature disabled and all RCCL cruises labeled as "vax required"  Thinking I had lost it, I reached out to the TA site.  They confirmed that about 2 hours ago, RCCl sent an email stating that vax would be required for all cruises from US.  I asked what would happen to the people who booked in the time that the vax was not required for some sailings.  Of course, the TA had no idea.  Just wanted anyone else who was questioning their sanity to know "it's not you!" it really changed.

Thanks.  I had not thought about the fact that each reservation is independent.

Does anyone know (preferably by experience) if you book 2 guarantee cabins does RCCL pay any attention to trying to keep them close to one another?

Locker lounge is just a few blocks from the ocean in the Art Deco area.  There are lots of restaurants.  Honestly, we just walked around a lot until lunch.  Lots of architecture to see, ocean is beautiful, not a lot of stores.  Worth seeing, but I wouldn't plan an exceptionally long time there, unless you want to drink or hang out on beach.

In case anyone is curious, I used them yesterday.  I made a reservation for 9am, when they opened.  Our taxi got us there about 8:40 and they were already open.  Exceptionally easy and cost effective.  I would recommend them.

I did, thank you.  They had a lot of positive reviews, as well.  I always like to hear about CC member experiences, as well.

Sooooo, nobody has used them or heard of them?

In my quest to find a place to store luggage post cruise I found the Luggage Lounge on South Beach.  They have lots of positive Yelp reviews.  Has anyone here used them?  What was your experience?

Does anyone know if the Bacardi Factory Tours offer luggage storage?

I would suggest downloading the app for your phone.  there is a lot of the cruise compass info, like showtimes, included in it

Am I correct in assuming that the drinks provided by cabana attendants are covered under the appropriate drink packages?

Thank you all very much. I was unaware that the new terminal had been completed! That should make all things much easier! And the Debarkation sheet was exactly what I needed.

Thanks,

Frank
