Travel Forum / Travel Types / Cruises / August 2007

We will be sailing on the Conquest 8/26.  I read on another board of a
group on a Carnival tour in Montego Bay being robbed.  Any safe tours
you could recommend.  We usually go on our own but now am wondering
if any tours are safe are just stay on ship.

To Whom It May Concern:
We received this from Royal Caribbean International and thought it would be
of interest to this newsgroup as well.
Happy sailing,

So our trip to Alaska ( and cruise to Vancouver) in a few weeks will

We are meeting someone for breakfast immediately after our Crown Princess
cruise on Thursday, September 6.
Does anyone have any first hand experience with restaurants near the port?
A Google search shows several, but no real information.

We all know those little Motel Hells that dot the side of America's
Roadways.  These are the places you stay when you naively decided not to
make reservations during  Easter Week.  These are the Bates Motels where
you have to stay  because your car broke down; the road is washed ...

It's been years since I've stayed there.  Anyone have any fairly recent
experience with them to share here?
We're also looking at Courtyard Marriott, Downtown Hyatt, or anything
else close to port for spring break pre-cruise.

On our first cruise we said starboard because we wanted to see the sights
away from the port from our balcony.
