We are taking a tour with West Bay Adventures and would like to buy some snacks and beer for the boat. Does anyone know of a store near Señor Frogs where we can buy them? 

Thank for your review.  We are sailing on The Sun in July.  Which night was the white hot party on this ship?  Were there any other theme nights?

Where did you decide to stay? We are wondering the same thing?

The thing about Amber Cove is that it is such a great area of the country, but a terrible port itself. I have spent lots of time in the DR and the Amber Coast is one of the prettiest sections. However, many Carnival Cruisers just get off their ship and go to the big pool, and completely miss the beautiful area surrounding them. Carnival tried to make another Mahogany Bay or Grand Turk, but without the beach strip, they really missed the ball. So, port wise, Amber Cove has been one of the least favorite physical ports. But in terms of activities, it's one of my favorites. I'm glad you ventured out and saw some of the beauty of the country!

I am helping my parents plan their day in Amber Cove. They are in their early 70's and quite active. What are your favorite activities in the area?

Was Jack's up and running?

The Amazing Cozumel Race sounds great. Would it be too much for a fairly active 65 year old couple?

Amazing Cozumel Race would be perfectly fine for fairly active 65 year olds. You walk a lot but it is not strenuous.

I am considering booking a two device package so that I can IMessage my daughter on the ship. Has anyone used IMessaging with Voom on Vision OTS? Do the messages go through in a timely manner?

We stayed at the Renaissance several years ago and it was very nice. At that time they had a parking package, great room with a view of the cruise ship, and tasty breakfast.

We did the manatees swim today and it was amazing. 5 in the group and we were in the water for 75 minutes!!

Who did you book with?

If you like to drink the Bar Hop is fun. You get to see the East Side of the island which is beautiful. It is a very social group event with about 20 people. You'll have to gauge if its your type of thing. I went with a group of friends and loved it. My husband would hate it. http://cozumelbarhop.com/

Cooking with Josefina was one of our favorite excursions out of around 10 in Cozumel. You do much more than cook. The class takes place in her home, so you get a glimpse of the culture. She takes you on a great tour of the market where you buy your ingredients. I think she has a maximum of 8 or 10 people so it is very personal and authentic. The feast at the end is amazing, and served with freshly made margaritas!

Also, the Amazing Cozumel is a lot of fun and a little more active. There is one part where you snorkel, but only one of you has to do it, so you could do it. You will see parts of Cozumel that you would never see otherwise. We also really enjoyed lunch after the race at a local restaurant that we would have never found on our own. I highly recommend this one too. https://amazingcozumelrace.com/

We love Maya Chan in Costa Maya. They only allow a limited number of people and the food and drinks are very good. Beach is very nice as well. http://costamayabeachresort.com/

We have done Josefina's cooking class and it is amazing. A very authentic experience. I would highly recommend it. Here's the link http://www.cozumelchef.com/services/authentic-mexican-cooking-classes/.

Anyone know approximate taxi fee from Punta Langosta port to Las Brisas?

Is there plenty to do at Harvest Caye without booking an excursion? How much are the drinks at the pool? It the beach nice? If you brought your own snorkeling gear would there be a good place to snorkel? Do they have rafts to float on and do you have to rent them?

Does anyone know if the UBP will be honored on Harvest Caye like on Great Stirrup Cay?

How would you compare this ship to a RCCL Freedom Class ship? Trying to decide between it and Liberty of the Seas with the same itinerary. NCL is slightly less expensive but not enough to really matter. I am wondering if there is as much live music in the bars at night as there is on RCCL.

We are booking a cruise with friends for April and trying to decide between Norwegian Dawn and RCCL Liberty of the Seas. We are very interested in the nightlife offerings. We enjoy that RCCL has a wide range of offerings like acoustic guitar and piano music plus live bands in several venues. It's been a while since we have sailed NCL, so I am wondering what type of live music we will find there at night. Price is about the same. The pros for NCL are that New Orleans is closer to home, and we like the extra stop in Costa Maya. Would love to hear from someone who has been on both ships.

Definitely book with cavetubing.bz. Meeting them is very easy. They run a very professional operation. We have tubed with them twice and would definitely use them again. We much prefer the personal service offered to the ship's cattle call excursions. Better service for half the price-it's a no brainer!

I would recommend cavetubing.bz. Great day for a great price which includes lunch and rum punch.

It seems like ours started early. I don't remember the available times. What are they?

Did you end up going to Akumal on the Colectivo? Approximately how long did it take total time from the time you left the ship until you returned? How long were you in Akumal?

I would also recommend Fat Fish Adventures for this tour. So much fun!

How far is the ride from Falmouth to Dr. Cave's and how much did they charge?

We were at My Time N Place in Falmouth a couple of years ago, unfortunetely it is now closed. Their website is still up, but not active.

That makes me sad Chalker Guy. Thanks for the heads up, we were planning to go back there in a couple weeks. Do you know of another beach near Falmouth worth visiting?
