Yeah I wasn’t sure if they would talk to me or not but glad they did. I contacted my TA to let her know I took care of it myself and her reply was asking me if I got a chance to look at the excursion links she sent (which she receives commission off LOL). Will definitely use a new one in the future!

I received this email this afternoon. Anyone know why Covid protocols would make a room not be available? Also, does anyone know about how long it takes for them to tell you your new room?

Just wanted to give an update, my TA still hadn't called them and it’s been 2 days so I called myself this afternoon and after 2 hrs and 23 minutes they upgraded us to a Junior Suite at no charge. I think it pays to be kind because she apologized to me SO many times about the wait but I could tell she was trying to help so I had no problem waiting. I feel like they are used to getting yelled at all the time. 😞 Turned out even better than I hoped for!

I’d push them to put you in one of the JR Suites that hold five. They probably separated you because the next level up (balconies) don’t sleep five. Good luck!🍀 

I looked on RCCL’s website and there is one balcony room available that fits 5, as well as a few that are at least right next door to each other. Really not sure why they did it like this but I’m hopeful they’ll resolve it.

So I logged into my RCCL account this morning and it shows they now gave us two rooms apart from each other, when we originally booked one that fit 5. We have 3 kids 8 and under so this definitely sucks. Hoping my TA can do something about it.

Don't they usually dedicate certain cabins for quarantine?

 

What cabin did you have?

 

We had an oceanview on deck 3. There are 5 of us so very curious where we will be moved to since most rooms don’t fit 5.

My guess is their booked cabin was on deck 6 and it will be blocked in the quarantine area for that cruise.

We had an oceanview on deck 3 so this might make sense if they want to make the lower decks quarantine.

Someone could have been COVID positive in your cabin - they sometimes block that cabin on the following sailing. 

It’s not until June so I don’t believe that’s it, at least not in this case.

If you're spending the night at a hotel, find one with free Parking and call to see if you can leave your Car there. Then catch an Uber

We live in Orlando actually so we won't be staying in a hotel.

Can someone recommend a place for parking near the port? I can only find outdated forums on this discussion.

I found a couple places online but saw a lot of complaints of people waiting over an hour for the shuttle to get full until they could leave. I'd rather find a place that leaves on time or has more than one shuttle every hour.

Thanks!

Definitely do the Bodden thing. Go explore the beauty of Roatan. Don't be restricted ot a resort. Private driver for the day is around $90 for 4 people or $80 for 2. They can take you the beautiful West Bay Beach, go explore West End Village (shops and restaurants), see the monkeys, and things like that. We are doing this again in September. Roatan is our favorite port because of this.

So you would recommend the private tour over their fun-n-sun tour? On the private tour do they just go wherever you want? I like the stops for the fun-n-sun tour but maybe the private tour is worth the extra $$?

Yeah I think I'm going to book maya chan today. Thank you both for the feedback!

We are going to be renting a car to drive around Cozumel and I'm finding a lot of companies that rent in other areas but yet to find one that is located at the International Pier. I have read online that if you walk out of the port area you will find a bunch but for some reason I cannot find any online.

Is it necessary for me to reserve one ahead of time? Are there any companies anyone does or does not recommend?

Any thoughts on Maya Chan beach? I'm leaning towards going there when we stop at Costa Maya. Wondering about the couples massage there as well if anyone has a past experience I would greatly appreciate your feedback!

Thanks!

You've probably seen some of the many people on here recommending Victor Bodden tours, we are part of that group. You can set up a private island tour with them at a reasonable cost and personalize it to your tastes and wants. They can give you many suggestions on places to see, swim, eat, etc. Highly recommend them.:)

 

By the way, we are in NC now but formerly from Polk City, FL, not far from you.

Awesome thanks for the info. My office is actually based out of Clermont which is not too far north of Polk City, so yes I know where that is. :)

I'm looking for someone to recommend a nice beach spot in Costa Maya that also does couples massages. I've seen a couple places online but I'm hoping someone out there has had a positive past experience.

Thanks!

My husband and I will be visiting Roatan at the beginning of September and I was hoping someone who's been there before could recommend an excursion or a place that we should visit?

A little background about us: we're both 30, not really interested in zip lining or scuba diving. Maybe something beach related or sightseeing?

Even if you could let us know something we should NOT do, that could be helpful too.

Thanks!
