I'm thinking of doing a short Mexico cruise on either the Paradise or Elation this summer.
1) What do they charge for drinks? I hear you just swipe a card and prices are never mentioned, and you get boned at the end of the trip.
2) I hear you aren't supposed to bring your own alcohol on board. Is this a hard-and-fast rule, or is there a cute trick to get around this?
3) What do they charge for corkage fees? Can you bring any wine / champagne on board?
4) What are the differences between staterooms (6A, 6B, 6C, 6D)? It appears to be level, but they don't come out and say so. Is one room better than others, for any reason other than deck?
5) How much in the way of "extra" charges do they nail you for (mandatory tips, fees, etc.)?
6) Do you have to have a passport for the Mexico cruises?
