I heard the same...it's supposedly a mgmt group related to the original owners. Additionally, rumor had it Mountain Creek could never expand the way they wanted to due to legal issues involving the Action Park owners. Regardless though, that place attracts a crowd you do not want to be part of...

Anyone have any good snorkeling spots near Nassau or experience dealing with boat rentals? I've read Rose Island and Pearl Island are good, but none of the excursions (there's actually only one official snorkel one from what I see) state if they go there and it's about 3 miles over water. We...

You are my hero...the more people that remember the concrete kingdom known as Action Park, the better! There are some horror stories out of the place and the new place (Mountain Creek) kept a lot of the old. It's like walking into the 90s every time you go. I don't live in New Jersey anymore...

Unless they are being paid to do it, a la Tony Bennett, no one has much positive to say about her now-a-days... ...and rumor has it he was paid huge sums of money just to promote her image since it's become a bit tarnished...

I personally wouldn't pay it. Unless you're staying at Atlantis they treat you like outcasts. The public beaches are a safe bet. You can walk or take the cab to several beaches within a 5 min. trip from the ship.

None of you have obviously been to Costa Maya. Nassau isn't pretty, but it's not the worst port we've been to.

OMG ME TOO...a little rooting hormone and 6 mos. later i have a $40 nursery quality plant.

You're not guaranteed earlier admittance just because you show up early. A lot of factors can play into your boarding. First, obviously you have to pick a time slot. That is your initial limiting factor if you cannot get an early enough one. Second, you have no idea how many passengers get...

Checking into port that early is only going to equate into a lot of waiting..

With the way port 'security' is, I'm sure you could get about anything on that ship...

I would not plan on warm evenings. While I bet you get to the upper 70s during the day, expect upper 50s at night depending on wind. And be prepared for the sun to go down if you're outside. The Caribbean doesn't hold much latent heat this time of year and once that big ball of fire goes down...

I mean they get priority getting off but it's only like 15 minutes...we've done outside tours; you should be fine. Just make sure you get back in time.

Due to Nassau's extremely high crime rate, I usually carry a little cash and one debit card (usually my secondary checking) in-case I need more cash. If your CC is taken that is a much bigger hastle than a debit card with a few hundred on it. Don't forget, Disney has had passenger advisories...

Move to Florida...

I sometimes work in Temple Terrace; if it's not off the golf-course I can show you some pretty impoverished neighborhoods and some really terrible things. Due to state / county regulations, I've had to report a lot of things I've found in littoral shelves of their wetlands / waterways and I've...

All the drinks are just drinks from a park or another ship renamed so technically they are special but are in no way unique to the ship and/or your cruise. I forget what they call it on DCL, but if you know the ingredients you'll notice things like Typhoon Tilleys on every menu...

We've gotten stuck next to the Canadians that drink all day in the sun from day one (a very bad idea if you're not from Florida and frequent DCL'ers will know exactly the type I'm speaking of) so you're anxiety is warranted...

They literally just add the cost of a WDW vacation package on top of the cruise cost. There are no MAJOR savings unless you're a Florida resident. WDW itself has not advertised Land and Sea in years. DCL still does and is the one that does the WDW booking so there can be mistakes since they...

What is it about DCL, that once they board the ship, makes parents feel entitled to everything including bending the rules and making up stories all because 'we have a kid'?

Nope, I grew up near Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey which is like the #1 roller coaster amusement park in the world (literally) and I couldn't count the number of times I went. Growing up, my parents' company even used to rent out the park and we'd have it to ourselves all day... In...
