Please forgive me if this topic has been covered anywhere. I've been on a few cruises in the past (Princess, Celebrity, Holland America, and Royal Caribbean). I just stepped off a (New Year's) Carnival cruise. I'm typically not the portrait taking kinda girl, but it being New Year's (and they still had a Christmas tree up), I decided that my dad and I should take some decent photos during a formal night. Of course the photographers took MANY, MANY photos and had all (good or bad) printed off for your review and then purchase or trash. I'm relatively certain that with Royal Caribbean, there was a digital viewer where you could decide if you wanted any. My memory is HORRIBLE, so I don't remember the prices/packages of anything. Could anyone throw in their knowledge of various cruise line photo packages? I would love the idea of a digital only purchase and let me deal with it when I get home. ProPortraits on Carnival are $22.99/each...which I don't think would bother me as bad if the process wasn't as wasteful. I have a Holland America cruise scheduled for February and would love info on them, but my curiosity is perked about all lines. Thanks guys!

Interested to know where in the FTL airport the testing is done and how long till results.

I like to never found information. The banner link just takes you to the page to make an appointment. Finally, in all of the protocols and advisories, I found A LOT of information along with some FAQ. Hope this helps somebody out! Below is a link.

Anyone know the current cost of a cabana for 1 week on the Rotterdam?

 

I recently checked on that information as I have a Cruise scheduled on the new Rotterdam in February. I have attached an email response quoting $499.00 (note that my cruise is an 8-day cruise).

I've been on a few cruises and it took no time at all for me to fall in love with that way of travel. I love being able to unpack once and visit multiple places. That convenience together with the sounds, smells, and just overall peace that comes with being on the ocean is what makes cruising amazing to me! That being said, I would love to somehow document, visually, all the ports I've been to and maybe even see individualized cruises on a map. I'm somewhat of a nerd, so I'm okay with digital options that you may even be able to sort/view in different ways. As of right now, I'm sure I could go back and get details from past cruises, but if I am able to go on as many as I would like in the future, there will be too many details to confidently remember. Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated. 

Ok...I realize this is much later than will probably be helpful to the original poster...but in hopes of helping someone else who stumbles upon this post, I'll throw in my two cents. About 10 years ago (I know...not recent), my mother and I cruised with Holland America and Half Moon Cay was one of the ports. I'm pretty certain they did not offer it as a shore excursion through the ship, but it was offered on the beach. We loved it. Attached are a few photos. We are scheduled to be back there in February and hopefully do it again!

I'm also booked for a cruise in February 2022 and was curious about the same thing. It would be nice to be at a reduced capacity, but not at the expense of having a replay of all this virus madness. I'll just be happy to go either way!

now this is interesting... could you buy the gift cards with the 20% bonus and pay off your cruise balance for the 10% discount? + $250 OBC? 

This is what I'm wondering about. I booked with a travel agent, but I'm very curious about the possibility of taking advantage of both offers.
