You may have a cruisetour in the morning that you depart Seward. We are on a 6B tour in September 2024 and our embarkation day has a tour that am for I believe (could be wrong) is about 6 hours. This definitely will affect the lunch which is usually 12 to 130pm. The baggage, from my research, is transferred to the ship. I read also that you pack a suitcase for the land portion and one for the cruise. I may not have this part correctly though so don't go by me. Honestly, if it were me, the Key really is not worth it in Alaska leaving from Seward. If you are concerned about getting onboard quick, it probably won't happen with the land tour. The lunch is nothing special (I've had it). The internet has been reasonably priced. Only way I'd do it is if the Key is cheaper than the internet.

I usually hit the gym when it opens because that's me. Also in the afternoons starting at 1pm on is when I do round 2 on sea days. I also like walking (sometimes, if no one around, jogging) on the promenade deck. Taking a class is also nice. There is class passes and some free ones. I downloaded a lot of Agatha Christies for this sailing and have been reading quite a bit. We also have been editing pictures as well that we have taken. There are some free art classes onboard I believe, and coloring I heard. Dancing lessons I noticed one day.

Download a series from Netflix or Hulu or whatever and watch some episodes Utilize the gym 2x a day. Find a comfortable nook and read. Purchase the wifi package and browse. Take naps We are currently on the Spirit Reposition from Sydney to Tahiti. We have a few sea days. Above is what I do. I don't like Deal or no deal, the shows, trivia, drinking, pool. I am having a great time. I am in an inside but we have found a niche on Deck 13 where we hang.

I want to thank TBK (The big Kahuna) for your input on this forum. It was very helpful.

Currently on the NCL spirit sailing from Sydney to Tahiti. Our itinerary includes Noumea, New Caledonia, Mystery Island, Vanuatu, Lautoka, Fiji, Pago Pago American Samoa, Bora Bora, Moorea and Papeete, Tahiti. We are currently on our way to Bora bora. I'll share briefly what we did snorkeling wise as it may help anyone planning. Noumea, New caledonia. We went with Noumea turtle tours and booked a tour to Amedee Island. This snorkeling was very good. Turtles, nurse sharks, decent coral. Island was beautiful to explore. We brought our own tent, blow up chairs, snorkeling gear and drink plus protein bars. The ship excursion was 2.5x the price we paid and was a herd of sheep. Mystery Island. No need for an excursion here. Walk the path, pass the airport runway. Keep looking on the right of path for a place to stake your claim. Most beautiful drift snorkeling ever. 100x better than Klein Bonaire. Lautoka Fiji. This is a bit of a miss for snorkeling. We did take a ship tour to Tivua island but it was not good at all. Snorkeling was ok. Similar to Cozumel Palancar and Columbia reefs. You can go on your own. My suggestion is to book the vendor and leave from Denereau. American Samoa. Easily so far the best snorkeling we have ever seen in the past 30 years. We watched a family from the area on YouTube videos show their favorite snorkeling spots and oh boy they were correct! Two dollar beach according to them is not worth it. We went to Fagasa bay. Snorkeled with dolphins, spectacular coral reefs and sea life. It was truly amazing. We took a cab here and paid him to stay. He wasn't happy as all the cab drivers just go to 2 dollar but we were insistent that this was what we wanted. When we get to a good wifi spot I will share my pictures.

Oh come on. 3-4x a day your room was cleaned? Surely you jest.

I am not a fan of the Nassau taxis. You can negotiate at times but not often as they get way too many people willing to pay their price. Had one once that tried to charge $45 for 1 mile.It was a bad neighborhood so we couldn't walk. If one is able bodied and doesn't mind a walk, the ferry has a set price. At the Atlantis there is a lot of walking around anyway if you want to explore so one should be prepared.

We have had this discussion. We were quoted a higher price then you. So no, in our experience, the taxi was much higher than the ferry. People should know there is more than one option. Quite a few YouTube videos and online travel blogs agree with me.

I second this.

Ferry theh walk.

Try YouTube.

Both are vision class. I'd go with the itinerary that has Roatan, Belize, Costa Maya and Cozumel. I'd also get an aft JS on Vision it's 8588.

If this is put together in a way that is more like MSC Ocean cay and not CocoCay, I would actually go. If price was right. We have been to Cozumel many times over 25 years via cruise and land vacations and have been a little disappointed lately in some things (taxis and gas stations) so just paying a reasonable rate and hanging for the day may be fun. If it's near a reef and they don't have rules of snorkeling vests and no independent snorkeling, I'm there.

I think they are kind of big or at least I remember reading in on the cc forum. Make sure you have room in suitcase to bring home. I asked our room attendant for an extra blanket and sat on balcony at Day 2 on our cruise watching the small boat go out to the glacier in May 2022. I think it was our only semi cold day as we had a beautiful week with no rain and we were all wearing shorts.

End of 2024.

I pulled this off a search. The Royal Beach Club Cozumel will feature swim-up bars, relaxation and family pools, restaurant with bar and lounge, private cabanas, street market, snorkeling, kayaking, hands-on experiences like tequila tastings and cooking classes, and more. More details about Royal Beach Club Cozumel will be revealed in the coming months. Royal Caribbean Beach Club Paradise Island opens in 2025. The new Antigua Beach Club development will take place on a beachfront area near Fort James that is around half a mile long. Supposed to start construction end of 2024.

Wonder where they are going to put this.

We are actually going to be there April 9th. If no one responds, I would be more then happy to share the location.

Just a suggestion. Get the metal hooks from Amazon. Wash bathing suit in shower with you and wring out. Dry yourself off. Place bathing suit in used towel and roll up as if making a stromboli or crescent roll. Walk on top of rolled up towel to get rid of excess water. let it dry in towel as you do post bath routine. Then unroll and place on metallic hook that is on the ceiling (not the wall). Will be dry by the morning. We have done this for our gym clothes and our bathing suits for 2 years of cruises. Works better than a clothesline.

Shoreexcursioneer.com used to offer a combo of this. We actually really liked it. We were in Juneau 9a to 9p. In the morning we made our way on our own to Mendenhall and explored the area. Then we went back to the port. We met up with our excursion at I believe 1 or 2pm. They first took us to whale watching then over to the salmon bake. I was a little disappointed with the whale watching because I had thought naively that the boat was close to the whales. I truthfully didn't realize a distance has to be maintained in the US. In the canary Islands, the boats are literally next to the whales. Still was pretty good. The whole excursion was 5 hours.

Thank you. Can you elaborate a little more?

Yes. I actually just did it for a flight to New Orleans from Philadelphia.

You actually answered a post from a year ago?

We once put ours in the hallway for the cruise when we were in our cabin for the night the entire cruise. No, I don't recommend this even though the speed was fantastic. My husband did it. I was the worrywart saying I don't think this is a good idea. We also did what you have here for adjoining cabins on Carnival.

Doc Brown may have a train that can push the ship.
