No classes at all that I've seen. 

 

Asked about guacamole class the other day. No idea when it's returning.

 

Cupcake class is fun, though

Thank you. I figured with buffets being self serve again classes will hopefully restart again soon. 

How long does it take to get from Downtown Miami (Bayside Market Area) to Miami Cruise port on cruise day. I know it's close but how much extra time should I alot for traffic? 

Thank you!

Has anyone seen the Cupcake classes back on board yet?

Coco Cay!!!!

 

Yay! We didn't do the thrill park, mostly because I am not paying $100 for what is available for free on the ship, and my kid doesn't like water rides because they won't let him use goggles and a nose clip. He hates water in his eyes and nose... So, we went to the beach instead.

 

The water was freezing cold! We went to the Chill Island beach first, but it was super crowded since everyone just kind of goes there first and stays. The small lagoons were full of people, and it was EXTREMELY windy there, which, when combined with cloudy weather, made it for a very cold beach break. When the sun came out, it was super hot and burning, but then it would hide and it would be very cold. Weird.

DS and grandma snorkeled behind the rocks and saw a ton of different sea life. They loved it! We use full size face masks for $20 off amazon so they can breathe easily.

 

So, while they snorkeled, my DH went farther up the beach and found that Breezy Bay part of the Chill Island wasn't breezy at all - still water, no wind, still had some chaises available. We relocated there and didn't regret it for a second. Fewer people in the water, a very short walk to the Snack Shack and bathroom.

Wow, the Snack Shack. I must say - I didn't expect the food to be good. We are spoiled by Princess food on the ships (Regal Princess), but their Princess Cay buffet is far from desirable. We loved the Snack Shack deluxe chicken sandwiches - kind of like Popeyes, with lettuce and tomato, grilled veggies, mozarella sticks, fries and funnel cakes. In fact, we loved the funnel cakes so much that we had 2 each. I had one while floating in the bay in an inflatable ring - what a pleasure!

 

Then we got some buns and fed the fish in the water. That was fun! Seagulls decided to join in on the fun, but we shooed them away. We fed them later on the beach. Noisy bunch. 🙂

 

 

Both Harmony and Independence were at Coco Cay that day. That's why it was so crowded.

 

 

Just look at the size of Harmony compared to Indy! We were supposed to be on Indy in Nov 2020, but L&Shifted to Harmony 2021. We loved them both!

 

Just wondering. Were the beach games like beach pool and bowling located near Breezy Bay? 

Which beach has thes games like bowling and beach pool?

It would also help to know the cruise line. For example, I know that on Royal Caribbean, the crewmembers who deliver room service are not part of the tip pool, so we tip them separately.

On the website it says they are included in the prepaid gratuities.
