Is it possible to walk from port to Little Divi? How long of a walk is it? Does the water taxi get us closer and cut down on the walking time? TIA

Tell me what you love and don't love about the kids' club on Royal! Is this a free service, btw? Do you have to register before boarding or anytime during the cruise?

yes, I've been trying to look into those rules with not much luck!

Its April 11. Wow, thanks so much for the help! Will certainly be visiting Emerald Beach:)

Hi, ship is Oasis, date is in April. Can't remember the exact date. Thanks for the info!

Hello, looking for reviews or tips about this tour. Is it a good option for those with toddlers? What kind of cash/ currency is accepted on the island? 

I've never cruised with kids before, so this is all new to me! I'll have an 18 month old and a four year old. Which beach should we go to with very calm water, and most importantly, how do we get there? I'd rather not spend tons on car seats just for this one port. I'd read that booking excursions through the ship is usually a good way to go, but seems like five is the minimum age limit. Any help here is appreciated! 

Still following! Loving it so far:)

Enjoy your cruise! Looking forward to reading more!

Doing this cruise in Jan! Looking forward to more review:)

Love your writing style! Following:)

Belle - Just say you've missed me and want me to come back!!!

 

I keep gaining weight and I keep trying to lose. Been meeting with a pharmacist who says 2 of my diabetes meds are causing me to gain weight. He wants me to add fiber to my diet ... 25-30 grams per day ... I unfortunately am allergic to wheat, oats, legumes, etc ... It isn't going to work. I would prefer they changed the meds ... have to wait 1 month before I see him again .... I'm only averaging 12 g fiber per day Keeping sodium at less then 1800 mg per day.

 

I have been so discouraged .. keep trying to lose ... I'm eating about 1500 calories per day (including wine) and I'm gaining ... going to the gym 2x per week. Need to get motivated, but it is very difficult.

 

Hope everyone is doing well. Jan

Hi Jan,

Just wanted to throw in some fiber suggestions. Chia seeds have 4 grams in a Tbsp, only 60 calories. You could add 2 servings to smoothies to boost intake by 8 grams a day. I also make guacamole almost every night with half of an avocado. Another 5 grams. Also healthy fats!

Great review! Thanks for posting

Saving my place! Love these reviews:)

The refrigerator in the room worked perfectly to store stuff in. Before dinner every night, we'd just throw some stuff in a bag to take with us. The tea bags were extremely easy to carry around. Can't say it didn't take up any time on the trip, it did, but worth it to DH

Well with the ingredients you brought, you just need ground coffee, an aero press and mini-blender and you're set. Okay, that is a lot of stuff.... :')

Great idea! Doesn't bother us at all, will def put down on the list for the next cruise:cool:

LOVE bullet-proof coffee! Didn't try it on the ship, but that's all we drink at home!

Glad your carry-on food worked out so well! My husband and I took a crazy amount of stuff on our last cruise a few weeks ago. We brought our own salt, butter (grass-fed), ghee, honey, coconut oil, tea bags, nuts, coconut, dark chocolate and almond butter. We are a little picky, as you can see:)

Enjoying your review!

I just was there last week, and our cab driver advised us to leave Maho by 2 or 2:30 because of traffic. You could always go to the beach first then shop. You could relax a little more knowing you were just about a mile's walk from the port. Plus the beach was much less crowded when we got there at 10 then it was later at around 12

Enjoying your review! We were on the following sailing:)

Def lots of chairs, just didn't see any restrooms. I believe there was someone selling drinks at Rosy's Shack, just didn't see the menu up like it had been in the past. There was also someone grilling, but I'm not sure what he was selling and when because it still wasn't available by the time we were ready to leave. Beautiful beach, I would def go again!

Just visited last week. Took a taxi to Maho and watched the planes for a bit, then walked to Mullet. Afterwards, we stopped in town to eat and shop a bit. There aren't any facilities in Mullet though

I enjoy the inside cabins because I love the complete darkness at night. It makes it so much easier to sleep!

I also missed the atrium. I felt like the layout of the ship didn't handle the crowds very well. But still had a great time on her last week!
