We have gotten a rental in Aruba for a jeep. I would love to do zipline not sure I am brave enough. Thinking of also shipping wine, rum, and clamato juice to o the Vila. Can I check with my luggage for the Bus? Or Does it need to go with us?
Burbank is very small. It is our only airport that you use stairs to get on and off the aircraft. Because of this you can board from the front and from the rear of the plane. It is kinda neat. When the plane lands it turns right into it's parking spot. Be advised your flight will not be a non stop. We only offer non stops to Las Vegas, Phoenix, Oakland, San Jose, and Sacramento out of Burbank. I think there maybe a non stop to Reno as well out of there. To get to Houston, it will be a stop and maybe a change of planes in Las Vegas or Phoenix.
Thanks Alan. That 1PM flight had a stop but no change so I think it's worth considering. I'll check into transportation from the port before making reservations to make sure the savings won't be offset by increased transportation charges.
I forgot to mention to anyone who's in and around central Florida this summer/ fall and is looking for something extra to do: One of the local art museums is doing a Dale Chihuly exhibit (that's the guy who does the glass art work hanging from the ceilings in the atrium on the ships). From what I have heard, the exhibit is amazing
There are only 4 showing on the Port Adventures page which is linked to the port descriptions. I can't remember how I found it, but there is a way for you to see all port adventures for a port and there are more than 4. Unfortunately a lot of the ones that sound interesting are for older kids, so those of us with kids under 10-12 Y/O are limited.
Okay, well, that's good to know. I thought they suggested noon but that may just be just cruises in FL. I would rather be safe than sorry and book a later flight. They also had a 2:55 flight for the same $ but it had a change of planes. After looking further into LAX flights, it would only be a little more than $100 total to fly out of there with nonstop flights so that may be the route we go. If we decide on BUR, will 2:55 be okay? What about LAX, what is the earliest flight you would suggest?Honestly, 1:00 they day we get off of the ship may be tough to make. It will take at least 45 min to get there. There will be a ton of traffic as you go through the downtown area. If there is a customs problem like there was in 05 you will miss your flight.
On the 2008 Westbound PC cruise a Diser organized a group for Aruba Jeep rentals, thus obtaining a lesser rental rate. Has anyone started something like this or would anyone be interested? We rented Jeeps in 08 and really enjoyed them, we want to do the same again.
Any thoughts?

We are planning on a jeep rental in Aruba. It seems that those that have done that in the past have been very pleased!
I agree, I wish we were going back to Mazatlan, there seems to be more there. We've resigned ourselves that Manzanillo is going to be a beach/ pool day and we'll do one of the all inclusives.Manzanillo Excursions seem really limited. I hope they come out with more.
Alright, this is off the excursion topic but I need to vent. Parents out there please help me understand. Is it really that hard to follow this simple instruction. Have everyone holding onto their own Boarding Pass. How hard is that? Normaly I don't care, but when I have TSA standing next to me I need to change my boarding style As they look to see us controlling access to the plane. So really is it that hard for everyone to hold there own. Alright I am done ventIng.

I SO hear you, Alan. The ability of people to "KNOW" you couldn't possibly mean them is absolutely astounding!
