we always buy trip insurance but NEVER through the cruise line. You can get better coverage for less money through a third party. here is where we go to get our quotes…. www.insuremytrip.com

We just got off the Harmony and never once did we have to pay any extra for any of the drinks we ordered…..

I don’t see a problem with it myself. On our last cruise the little children were having such a good time looking for ducks every day. There were a couple of people on our FB board that even made it easier for the little ones to know where to look such as giving hints about what areas they might get lucky. The pictures posted of those smiling little faces were adorable. One lady had a special needs son that had looked for several days with no success. Once this mama let our group know of his disappointment one of the ladies that was hiding ducks got their cabin number and went straight up there to place several where he could find them right away!! Now that picture made me cry!!❤️❤️

Check…..SAS Transportation…..

Our friends were allowed to move their cruise to February but I don’t know if they incurred any penalties…..

I don’t personally have any firsthand knowledge but I see a lot of people posting positive experiences with them…

I know you said the hotel is newer……it is actually about 15+yrs old. We stayed there with my granddaughter when she was about six, she is now 21.. They do a great job keeping up their maintenance and everyone there is very nice. I hope you guys have an awesome cruise!!! We love the Mariner!!

Get use to the firm mattress!! Unless you were lucky enough to request a foam bed topper your bed on the Mariner is going to be very firm!! Same on the Harmony!! Did not love those beds…..

I am hoping for some Black Friday cruise sales too because right now the prices of cruises are just crazy!! We want to book something for after the first of the year but I am waiting for some better pricing…

You can get it at any bar…..just show them your card…

Just had friends a couple of days ago move a cruise from this Sunday on the Harmony to a cruise in February. I don’t know if they were being lenient because of the hurricane…..

In addition to Cruise Control Transportation as stated above….. also check…. *Cortrans Shuttle *Cocoa Beach Shuttle *GoPort

You might to also check with a pre-book shuttle. The most popular are: *Cortrans Shuttle *Cruise Control Transportation *Cocoa Beach Shuttle *GoPort

All you have to answer are the three questions. We weren’t asked anything else at the port…..

Two bottles of no more than 750ml each…..

If you are sailing and returning to the US and not going to Bermuda or Canada……and you are vaccinated…..why are you testing??

Some of the most popular shuttles are……. *Cortrans Shuttle *Cocoa Beach Shuttle *Cruise Control Transportation *GoPort (they can arrange all your transportation for you in one pkg)

We took our granddaughters on four cruises…….on 3 out of the 4 cruises we were asked to produce the letter from their parents giving us permission to take them on the cruise. It happened twice on Royal and once on Disney…..

On one cruise we were doing self assist so we were downstairs and in line very early. There was maybe 50 people in front of us and after a very short time hundreds now in line behind us. We were standing their patiently waiting when a couple gets off the elevator and joins another couple in front of us. So we think okay maybe they’re flying together and we didn’t think anything of it. About 10 mins later at least 25 more people got off the elevator and tried to join these same two couples at the front of the line!!! At this point several people near us went ballistic and told them that wasn’t happening and they could just take themselves to the end of a very long line!! They pretended at first they didn’t understand what people were saying (they were Japanese) but once people got so mad they all went (except for the original two couples) and took themselves to the back of the line!!

you can use some of your daily 5 drink vouchers for bottled water….

Going to the Eastern side is safe and the prudent thing to do. They will have an awesome cruise!!

I usually do it online on my IPad. Just seems to work easier for me…

Not all crew members are happy to give up their masks! We had a great bartender on the Harmony who told us he hopes they let masks be optional for them because they are exposed to so many people each week so he was more comfortable wearing his for awhile.
