Default More questions [long]

Thus spake Sue and Kevin Mullen :

We decided to take just oceanview cabin, it was huge
diffrent between balcony cabin (at this date), we think it's better to
stay in Miami longer.


Very wise choice and I think you will be happy with your decision.

BTW, We are from Poland, we have polish passports and we will be back
before 31st of December, so i think we don't have "passport" problem.
We have valid american visas.


I would check with the cruise line and the Embassy or whoever you get
your visas from and make sure that you have all the paperwork you need.


Good point. I don't think Poland is a visa waiver country, so you'll
need a multi entry visa. Contact the US embassy for details.


1.Labadee : ??? we don't have any plans for this place, we thought
about excursion from RCI but we couldn't find any intresting beside
SeaTrek Parasail, do You have any idea what to do there??? Have You
ever tried parasail in Labadee?


Labadee is their private island and mostly a day at the beach. They
will have lunch available(freee) and bar service which can go on your
sign and sail card. If you are interested in the parasailing, this
would be a good place to do it since there isn't much else to do.

2.Ocho Rios: We thought to rent a car and go to Montego Bay, but we
worry is it enough time? We would like to see Dunn's Falls also, do You
know how far is it from the port? Where is the best place for shopping?


Do not rent a car and go on your own in Jamaica. Dunn's Falls is IMO a
must do, but take one of the ships excursions that takes you there by
boat.

3.George Town: snorkeling, can You recomend any place? We didn't want
to take our equipment, where we can rent something? We heard there is a
place where we can see stingrays during snorkeling, do you know
anything about it?


The must do here is swimming with the stingrays and the best way to do
it is to book with Captain Marvin. I see that Jean O'Boyle has already
given you his website.

4.Cozumel: is it enough time (9 hours) to get to Tulum? how is with
ferrys? How did You spend Your day in Cozumel? I really would like to
see ruins in Tulum, but we afraid it is too complicated?


Tulum is a wonderful sight to visit and I suggest for this you take
one of the cruise lines excursions. It is a long excursion and if you
are on one of the ships excursions and are late getting back to the
ship they will wait for you. If you go by yourself and are late, the
ship will not wait for you.

8. Is it only one meal included? Do we have to decide what time we want
to eat? Should we do any reservation before? What about room service?
Can we just order our meal to the room or we have to eat at the dining
room? I read somewhere room service is included, What does it mean?
food is included or service charges?


All of your meals on the ship are covered, unless you eat in one of
the specialty venues and then there is a cover charge for them. You
can eat breakfast and lunch in the dining room or at the buffet, just
look in the daily newsletter for times. When you book the cruise you
have to decide if you want early or late seating for dinner. If you
don't want to eat dinner in the dining room, there is always the
buffet. Then there is always room service which is free, but you
should give a small tip to the waiter. Most of the time there is food
available any time of the day or night that you want.
