This is the main duty free mall at the International Pier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The shops were packed with t-shirts, blankets, and Tequila

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Senor Frogs was very busy today. . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We go through Security on the Pier

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would rather do it here that back on the ship in a long line. . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahh. . Yes. . Back home again !

Thanks for the answer. I thought it strange if you couldn't see it from the bed.

That is were we watch most of the time.

 

Now if they only could get some channels. LOL

 

C'mon Mark, you don't need to watch TV!!! LOL :D:D

 

Hope you and Jackie are doing well..........tell her I said "hello".

Radio, Thoroughly enjoying your review!! I see you found the "Clearance" shop!!! I cracked up when I went in there, as everything claims to be on clearance.

[cruisers103]

We are boarding on the 5th and this is wonderful. Thank you Radio!!!:):):)

[bravostar]

So is it walkable to Chankanaab Park and/or El Cid La Ceiba Resort?

This sounds great!!

[grtfldave]

Radio, DW and I have been following both you and Trainman this week. We are taking Allure in March and hopefully Oasis soon after. Your pictures and posts make us feel like we are right there with you. Happy sailing...

[LBumb]

awesome review. i enjoy it everyday

[sleepless]

Friends of our were on the Allure during the holidays. They reported back that Cozumel was an area that is fenced in, and that they could not leave the fenced in area. Your pictures do not support that. Can you shed any light on their findings? Thanks.

[Arizona Cruz Chic]

Radio, your pictures are the best!!!!

Hope you enjoy your day at sea tomorrow!!

I am not sure what they mean. . . Cozumel is an area that is fenced in ?

 

 

Cozumel is an Island off the coast of Mexico. . . It is part of the Province (state) of Quintana Roo. San Miguel is a town in Cozumel.

 

Maybe she meant the a Port Facility is fenced off ? That would be normal. . .

I believe they were referring to Labadee, not Cozumel.

Parts of Belize are blocked off...maybe she meant Belize??

Radio,

This sounds great!!

 

Chankanaab si 2 miles south (too far for me to walk), but La Ceiba is right next store. La Cieba is not a 5Star resort, but it was designed as a Divers resort, w/many of the things that a 5star resort has. . .

 

I would call it a 3Star. . .But WTH ? I dont want to stay there, I just want to have some food, drink, and Wi Fi . . .:)

Ahh. . Labadee has a big stone and concrete wall around it with armed guards at the gate. It is for the passenger safety. There are areas of Haiti that would not be safe for cruise passengers. . .

Hi radio,

 

Enjoying your wonderful posts this week being snowbound here in the northeast.

 

BTW,I don't know if you had a chance to check out 150 Central Park. I was interested if you happened to see their menu. Would like to book it when we go in May but the old menus didn't seem to appealing. I'm hoping they changed things up a bit. If you get a chance that would be great:)

 

Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

 

Thank you

Liz

I am really enjoying your review!! Chankanaab looks like a nice place to spend the day. Might have to go there the next time we are in Cozumel. Enjoy your sea day tomorrow!!

It could be the Belize Tourism Village, which it totally fenced in. You can exit and enter through guarded gates.

[negrilbride]

Thank you so much for sharing your trip eith us!

 

May I ask what type of classes you are taking on the Oasis?

 

Also, do you think Chankanaab would accommodate a guest who uses a motorized scooter? We will be going on the western in November with my parents and my dad cannot walk long distances. Also, did you happen to notice if there are handicapped accessible taxis?

[GoodToGo]

I am happy to see Celebrity Eclipse as she will share the pier with us all day. One day I would love to sail on Eclipse or any (Solstice Class Ship).

 

We were able to see Norwegian Epic during our approach, and we should be able to see her “close up” tomorrow when we are in Cozumel. . .

Hey Radio,

 

Just discovered this thread - love it! Thanks so much for sharing.

 

Have not sailed the Oasis (last RCCL cruise was on the LOS last April) - but DH and I are booked on the Allure April 10th and can't wait.

 

We sailed on the ECLIPSE (our first Celebrity cruise) the week after Thanksgiving and it was fabulous! Love, Love, Love the ship and everything about it! Would defintely sail on her again - highly recommend it! :)

 

Ironically, we were booked to sail on the EPIC in November but when some cruisemates we were reuniting with had to cancel - we decided to wait until later to sail on her. In October we found a great deal on the ECLIPSE and went for it - so glad we did (we've sailed 31 times and can't believe we waited so long to try Celebrity)!

 

Even still - as odd as the EPIC looks, we still want and hope to sail on her in the near future.

 

Smooth sailing,

 

Debbie

and more than 60.000 views on this thread .... impressive following! We were initially a bit cool on Oasis, but you're making us really want to book! Thanks for sharing your cruise experience with us.

[retiring soon]

Hi all!

 

Radio ~ you've sold me on Chankanaab for my Nov. Oasis cruise! :D

I love, love, love the beautiful water at Cozumel, so many shades of blue.

 

The Epic might not be the prettiest ship but it has a lot going for it. I'll be on it in the Med in 4 months & am really looking forward to the entertainment & different dining options.

 

Thanks for taking us along on this great cruise.

~Jo~ :)
