October 2000 - Rhapsody of the Seas to Mexico

GTVCRUISER's Tips

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico - Cabo San Lucas , I like to walk around the marina stopping to have a beer at different bars and then I walk up the hill to Medano Beach.After a while at the beach you can take a water taxi back to the pier or walk back around the marina
San Francisco, California - I have cruised into San Francisco a few times , I walk over to Pier 39, they have shops, restaurants , or you can just hang out and people watch
Oosterdam Oosterdam - My favorite part of the ship is the Crows nest lounge
Golden Princess Golden Princess - On the aft of the ship setting very high ,is the Disco and during the day it has the best view , this was my first trip to Alaska
San Diego, California - If your ship is in San Digo for the day, you can walk about a half a block on the waterfront and visit the Midway aircraft carrier Museum
San Diego, California - If your cruise ship is in San Diego for the day ,you can walk one block to the Train Station . You can catch the Trolley there , you can see a lot of San Diego that way. Buy a all day pass for 5 dollars
Zaandam Zaandam - My sea days were spent in the Crows Nest Lounge
Galveston, Texas - I was in Galveston Feb. 15 and 16 2013 to go on a cruise , it was cold and very windy,but no fog
Rotterdam Rotterdam - I think the Crow Nest Lounge is the best place on the ship to view Alaska
Zaandam Zaandam - I spent a lot of time in the piano bar
Astoria, Oregon - In Astoria , they have a shuttle bus that will take you downtown and back to the ship
Astoria, Oregon - I climbed to the top of the Astoria Column and got some good photos, then I took a ride on the trolley,get on the Trolley early before the crowd
George Town, Grand Cayman - The J B Margaritaville in George Town is a 2 story building with a pool and a big slide on the secound floor, this is a fun place
Falmouth, Jamaica - In the Falmouth Cruise Ship terminal they have a Harley Davidson t shirt shop
Falmouth, Jamaica - In the Cruise Terminal in Falmouth , they are building a new Margaritaville it looks like it will be a big one, they say it will be open soon, I was there 2-21-2013
Falmouth, Jamaica - If you shop in the Falmouth cruise terminal go to the flea market in the terminal , good prices,the store`s are all high priced
Falmouth, Jamaica - I like Red Stripe beer, in the ship terminal they wanted 5 dollars for one Red Stripe, I went out the gate and went one block to the market, I got 3 Red Stripes for 5 dollars...Yeh Mon
Celebrity Century Celebrity Century - The Sunset Bar is a nice place to hang out for drinks and Sunsets
Rotterdam Rotterdam - When you are cruising on a Holland American ship you can go to the Computer room and read the New York Times online for free
Radiance of the Seas Radiance of the Seas - A great place to eat on the Radiance of the Seas, it took me a day or 2 to find it,it has great ocean views and great food , it is called the Seaview Cafe and best of all there is no extra charge for food
Oosterdam Oosterdam - If you go all the way forward on Lido Desk , through the Spa ,on the right you will see a door that will take you outside , a good place to take photos and enjoy the view
Carnival Splendor Carnival Splendor - Above the Lido Pool deck 10 they have 2 Hot Tubs , with a nice view of the Ocean
Ryndam Ryndam - When you cruise on Holland America you can bring your own wine on board ,even at the ports ,but no beer or Spirits
Oosterdam Oosterdam - Go to the Crows Nest or Ocean Bar in the Afternoon ,they have a Happy Hour 4-5 PM ,buy one drink get the 2nd drink for one dollar....have fun
