What cruise/when are you going ?

My wife and I are leaving Sunday to go to Cozumel, Montego Bay, and Grand Cayman and coming back next Sunday.

-Aaron

We leave Oct 10th on a short 5 day to Progresso and Cozumel. My wife and I did the cruise you are doing 3 yrs ago for our Honey Moon.

You might wanna bring some bottled water. They charge for bottled water on board. Jamaica is kind of a shit hole, I don't recommend any of the jungle excursions, I went with an all inclusive resort and loved it. Cayman will rape you without lube on a taxi, they wanted $100 for 4 people to and from a turtle farm, so if you go anywhere, take the bus.

If you want anything, just ask for it. The casino slots are loose on the first night, after that they SUCK. Blackjack tables are rigged, search till you find the table that is winning. Do anything and everything as far as shows, you will enjoy them.

Also pack a 12 pack of sodas if you like sodas and have them unlock the fridge to store them. The ship will rape you for any drink that is not juice, tea, or water (in a cup). They charge about $2 for a bottle of water also.

Candlewood Suites, 3 times pretty clean familiar with the cruise crowd.and near the beer store decent pool. Don't jump ship in Coz they can't rescue you


$70.00 to park in Carnivals lot, I don't know where they're talking about thats cheaper than parking, we stayed in the Casa Del Mar its ok and on the Seawall and you can leave you vehicle there and ride in CAPTAIN RONS CAB, but its not cheaper than the $70.00 unless its changed in a couple of years.

There are plenty of hotels rooms cheaper than $70 on Sunday October 9th. I just need to find out if they offer a shuttle service. Hotel Galves wants $175 plus tax for that night.

The Harbor house

It's a nice place to stay, literally right next to the cruise terminal, and right by all the bars.

Just came back a month ago, I just took off at 5am got there around 10am had brunch parked at "easy cruise parking" $30 to park $10 for car cover,
Try to check in by 12 on boat because line gets long and fast then wait till about 1:30 to be brought aboard and enjoy.

[junior]

Oh invade your cruise travel agent didnt tell you, you can bring water and sodas just have to carry them with you at all ones till you board and have to be checked to make sure they haven't been altered we took 32 pack of water and 12 pack of coke, and a few big bags of chips.

Where is "easy cruise parking"? I was told parking was $70.

[junior]

They have a website easycruiseparking.com I believe, you can throw a rock at the boat from where my truck was parked I wanna say it's of 25th street

[mustangguy289]

Does this look right? http://ezcruiseparking.com/

[junior]

Yeah I went on a 5day cruise I also didn't book parking I just showed up and it was 30 not 35

[mustangguy289]

Thats weird... it says drive up rates are $5 more? Did they give you a promo code?

[junior]

No but they did tell me they where trying to get more people to come park there because the signs when you drive in said 40 for 5 day and they charged me less and I wanted to come back to a truck still there but yeah that's who I used and chick that takes money is pretty hot too.

[mustangguy289]

Found this one as well. $30 for outdoor $40 for indoor. Across street within walking distance of boat.

This one seems closer to 25th street like you said.


What time did you actually get to the parking place and when do they allow you to start boarding?
