Royal Caribbean thanks you for your $400 donation. However, I'm glad it worked out in the end.

I will resist the urge.

Their buzzwords: Sale, enhance(ment), amplification. The only meaningful one is amplification.

I can't even imagine the huge swing in emotions. Super excited about a cruise and then saddened by the loss of a parent. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope family and loved ones provide the necessary comfort during this difficult time. We get a bit silly here on these forums (guilty!) but sometimes it's good just take a step back to appreciate the loved ones we have in our lives and the privilege we have to spoil ourselves with our love of traveling.

Maybe an upgrade to prepare for Celebrity passengers to be allowed to purchase CoCoCay excursions.

Hopefully they're upgrading their systems to accept PayPal and other methods from Apple and Google.

Aren't their still methods available to bring a pet dog onboard? /s

Perhaps. Also, compare: http://www.marshell.net/shuttle-bus/index.html They offer customizations.

The latest: I think I found out who the manufacturer of the electric shuttles buses is.

Fresh wallets every 4th or 5th day. Alternative to Disney right in their backyard. Soon, their new Nassau offering will be available. Not a fuel draining itinerary. (Compared to sailing from Cape Liberty doing the same ports) Very smart move.

As a poor cruiser, the upper level lido deck is my spacious ocean view. Excellent bar service!

The wiki reference source could be their annual report. Hmmm. Cats have a sophisticated palate. Should I send chicken flavor or a seafood medley?

About $3. Was approached by a destitute person for a donation and I thought it would be best to contribute some green for a positive outcome.

Nice article on some history of Neil Ruzic and CoCoCay. Lots of pictures too. https://www.cruisetricks.de/how-little-stirrup-cay-became-royal-caribbeans-private-island-coco-cay/

I did see one of the tractor trams transporting Whiskas or Friskies dry cat food and was going to ask if cats lived on CoCoCay as pets for the residents but decided against making such a thread. You got this one instead.

There have been some threads on this topic over the years.

Supporting evidence of CoCoCay being owned by Royal Caribbean. 1) Royal Caribbean's latest annual report says they own CoCoCay but they lease Labadee. The wording in these filings have to be accurate. Page 23 - Item 2. Properties: We also operate two private destinations which we utilize as ports-of-call on certain itineraries: (i) an island we own in the Bahamas that we call CocoCay; and (ii) Labadee, a secluded peninsula that we lease on the north coast of Haiti. 2) Royal Caribbean's annual report provides a List of Subsidiaries (Exhibit 21.1) "Island for Science, Inc." incorporated in Indiana is listed. 3) State of Indiana's business lookup page (https://bsd.sos.in.gov/publicbusinesssearch) shows Island for Science was incorporated in 1978 with signature of Neil P. Ruzic. 4) A 1993 annual report for Island for Science, Inc., Section H titled "Briefly Describe Nature of the Business" states "Holding company for ownership of an island". In Section I, all of the Directors and Officers of Island for Science are Royal Caribbean executives. 5) I visited the Registrar Generals Department in Nassau and was provided with a document showing the transfer of ownership to Island for Science, Inc. in 1981. At some point Royal Caribbean purchased Island for Science, Inc. legally making Royal Caribbean the owner of the Island today commonly called CoCoCay. There are some linking documents missing but to me this shows that the island known as CoCoCay is owned and not leased.

I use the bathroom sink water. Works perfectly fine for me.

Not a JS but this is from my Oasis Central Park stateroom (under the bed):

Is there someone willing to "buy" it from you for $150 or so?

Per the document left in my stateroom. "The Diamond Lounge is a private area reserved for Diamond, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle guests only. All members under the age of 21 years must always be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The lounge is accessible 24 hours."

Congrats on the longevity, both years lived and married. Any health and marriage tips you wish to share (other than she's always right)?

Makes sense to keep the option to switch available.

If their records retained the number of nights sailed, why not do the conversion based on number of nights? Then, make calculations based on JS+ and solo for when those bonus points started?
