I had seen a few video's online about Barefoot Beach, but once we arrived to Coco Cay and saw it for ourselves, we weren't impressed with that part of the island. I liked the area just off the JetSki ramps a lot more.

Please tell more. It will be our first time here. Not sure where to go. Should we bring our snorkel gear? Is it any good?

Not to mention the airport you fly from, the airport that you land in, the cab or shuttle, the hotel you may stay at, the restaurant you eat at, the bar you may go to, the shuttle or cab to the port, the 1000's of people at the port waiting to get off and on the ship. My guess is that Baggie and Lysol wipes will help a lot! Wash your hands frequently and try not to touch your eyes and nose and mouth!

OK Toddcan, how much are those suites? ROTFL.

LOL, the suite is funny.

Our first cruise back in )^ was getting onto a spotless, completely bleached down ship. They Noro the week before ours. We always bring the Lysol wipes. They come in travel packs and it only takes about 10 minutes to do a good cleaning.

My mom used ot make her own grape juice- 100% pure cooked right out of the grapes.

 

I tell ya'... you drink 8 oz of that, and you better be near a facility with a deep bowl. Unless, of course, your system is already tuned to that sort of influx of nature's own draino.

OMG I can't stop laughing. You made m night.

We had issues with a majority cocktails that included patron martinis and the speciality drinks even though they were less than 10 dollars. They didn't have the special glass with it either. Also certain beers were excluded as well and my husband is not a bud light drinker. St germaine elderflower liquor was not included either. Thats why I want to bring a list and show it to the bartender. I have been hearing from other people that they have been having the same issues, red bull and vodka etc. I guess that is why we need a list because some bartenders give you a hassle about what's not included, even though the list doesn't specify what's not included. We need a clarification of what is not included.

From what I am reading this is a real concern. This will be our first time using the package. If you read RCCL's website they say any drink on their menu under 10$. I only saw (at a quick glance) 1 specialty martini that was 10.25. One Margarita also. Wonder if they have a list when you sign up the package.

I agree TommyG74....I am a smoker and I am tired of being bashed also!

I have always booked a balcony room because I love to look at the ocean... and because I am currently still working ....with this being said I have always enjoyed the peace & quiet of my balcony and being able to smoke on it in my pjs & robe without having to get dressed etc before I can enjoy my cigarette in the morning or before I turn in for the night!

 

I am wondering tho....the cruise that I had already booked for April (before they changed the policy) still has a LOT of vacancies (Balcony, JS & GS) & final payment was made 1/21!! I thought this was kind of unusual (and the prices have not even dropped!). Where are all the non-smokers that said they quit booking balconies because of the smokers? Seems like RCCL would be bombarded with people (especially non-smokers) booking these balcony cabins and this sailing would be sold out by now!

 

My intentions are not to start a war by posting this, I just think that if RCCL would have sent out a questionnaire to EVERYONE that has cruised with them instead of just reading the comments of the non-smokers only (not stating a fact, just seems this way), they might would have possiblly received opinions from the smokers as well as the non-smokers. I realize that this is where the smoking is heading (ie no more inside anywhere etc) but a balcony......outside....open air???????

 

The non-smokers are already starting to harp about the casino now (the only place inside the ship a smoker can enjoy a cigarette)!

 

I am just stating how I personally feel on the issue and am not saying anything against non-smokers (all my cruises are with non-smokers). I wish that this would have been a habit that I never got hooked on and who knows......maybe eventually I will stop smoking!

Hardest thing I ever did in my life was quit smoking. The second hardest is trying to loose all the weight I gained after quitting. LOL.

I think people complained about smoke coming up to their balcony from smokers below. Why don't they make smoking balcony's on the highest deck and a separate section say the back corner of the ship?

Probably the really expensive cognac's and scotch.

You should be fine. You can even have Martini's, they are just in a smaller glass than if you purchased the premium.

We love promenade rooms when we don't have a balcony. They are great for people watching, parade watching. Just remember to draw the drapes. People can see in:eek:

Tell me about it. Loved our prom but 3 times I forgot about the curtins. LOL. Lucky for me I was on the other side of the bed. I don't think anyone saw in. :eek: :rolleyes: :D

Is the dog the one reserving all those pool chairs?
