    st. maarten rental

    We have rented a car both times we have been to St. Maarten. The first time we rented from Hertz which is right at the dock. I would advise renting before you get there unless you are prepared to haggle with the locals which I found quite agressive. This past April 2005 we were on RCCL...

    Renting a car in St. Maarten?

    We rented a car in St. Maarten two years ago. We rented it from here in Canada. The rental place is about a 3 minute walk from the pier. Several people hadn't prearranged. It appeared that you could pay more or pay less. There didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to the prices the...

    bringing wine/liquor on board

    I don't believe there is a limit as to how much alcohol you bring on board. On our previous 3 cruises, we have taken 12 beer, 4-5 bottles of wine and bottled water. They request that it is in a carry on. We generally have the beer in a paper bag and put the wine in a napsack. Even the kids...

    What was the length of your first Disney cruise?

    On our first cruise, we were not sure what to do for the same reasons you mentioned - would we like it? would we get seasick? Well, our first cruise was the four day and we absolutly LOVED it. Yes, it was too short but we honestly didn't know if we would like it or not. I guess we figured...

    Cozumel excursion question / need advice

    This past April, our family did the disney Jeep Tour and had a fabulous time. It is a great way to see parts of Cozumel. Advice I was given from a previous poster was to take towels with you to sit on in the jeep as the seats can get very hot. The other advice I would give is to choose a jeep...

    REAS question - couples massage

    We did the couples massage for the 3rd time on our cruise this past April. This was the first time we had the massage included with the REAS package and as a result, we had the massage on the ship. You have a choice of a full body massage or the spa taster. We have always picked the spa...

    Banana Boat at Castaway Cay!

    By the second or third time you do the banana boat ride you learn that goggles are the only way to go. We bring our snorkeling masks and enjoy the ride to the full extent. It makes for a much more relaxing ride - if you can call the banana boats relaxing!!!

    Has this request ever been granted?

    We were on the Western Cruise in April this year and we are a family of 5 with the late seating. It was the first time we have ever been seated by ourselves. We did notice however, that almost every table in the dining room on our rotation (APL) late, there were very few combined families. We...
