Any advise or suggestions on What to see Where to eat What to do for fun, crazy, crazy fun What to avoid What to watch out for How to pack How to behave on the ship Liquor issues -- buy booze for the room before leaving? Wait until we dock in Mexico? Buy drinks on the ship? Any advise would be appreciated Gibbo |

Any advise or suggestions on What to see Where to eat What to do for fun, crazy, crazy fun Mazatlan - Spend the morning on horseback with Randi's Happy Horses (http://randishappyhorses.com/) and end the ride with a great meal of garlic shrimp at the "beach shack" Victors. Then, do a little shopping in town before returning to the ship. PV - Do a zip-line canopy tour with Canopy Tours Los Veranos (www.canopytours-vallarta.com/) and end with a yummy meal and yummier drinks right there, at the end of your last zip. Once back in town, do a little shopping before returning to the ship. Cabo - Find yourself a taxi-boat when you get off the ship that will bring you on a water tour of the harbor area, around the arch, checking out the seals, etc. Then, have them drop you at Lover's Beach for an hour or two - set a time that you'd like to be picked up. Once back in town, wander around, shop and dine in whatever place tickles your fancy - lots of options. What to avoid Bad silver? Bring a little magnet with you - a quick check to see if what you're buying is really sterling - they'll all tell you it is. What to watch out for Too much sun? How to pack I'm a heavy packer, so I'm probably not the best one to offer advice here. For days, shorts, tees, polos, tanks are fine. I usually throw a cotton or rayon sundress over my bathing suit - just easier. Evenings, you'll need to have three different kinds of outfits. Formal, semi-formal (or smart casual) and casual. Your brochure and/or cruise documents will describe each of these. How to behave on the ship Politely? Considerately? Liquor issues -- buy booze for the room before leaving? Wait until we dock in Mexico? Buy drinks on the ship? RCI's policy will be spelled out on either there website or in their brochure. Usually, the cruiselines do not like booze being brought on board when you first embark, but it's easy enough to smuggle on, in your checked bags (I'd decant it into plastic bottles and then double-ziplock bag it to prevent spillage and breakage). And, usually, if you bring booze on board from ports, it will be "held for your convenience" (confiscated) until the end of the cruise. I just buy my drinks on board. It's just easier. So, I pay a little more. I've never found ship drink prices to be out of line with what I'm used to paying at home, so I'm not offended by it in the least. Any advise would be appreciated Just have a super time!!! Lee Gibbo |

I've never been on a Royal Caribbean cruise, but I do know that when
you're on a cruise ship, it's safe to say that you can do about anything you want. Common sense will tell you what you can and can't do. That's the way things have been on the cruises that I've been on. |
