51 days - Navigator of the Seas "Cruise with Huge". My dad received the cruise as an incentive to buy a new car.

CozumelH20 offers a 4 reef, 3-4 hour snorkeling trip for $65/pp. We had such a good time! The tour guides are professional and knowledgeable, and make it a great time. I highly recommend them! I am not sure if they are wheelchair accessible, but they are very easy to communicate with and quick to reply via email.

We did this tour back in December - AMAZING! I will use them again if I ever return to Cozumel.

We were on the Oasis in December and had no problem getting the dividers opened between 4 cabins.

Our cruise compass from two months ago shows Solarium bistro open at 11:15 on boarding day. There is a bar upstairs in the solarium or on the same level out the doors to the pool deck in the same level [emoji4]

Great, I thought I had read that somewhere. Thanks!

Solarium Bistro does not open for lunch until noon.

 

Just FYI. :)

Shoot, I thought I had read somewhere that it opened at 1115. Thanks for letting me know, may have to re-think our plans depending on what time we end up getting on the ship.

Thank you for the replies. I didn't realize the Solarium had a bar.

We plan on heading to the Solarium for lunch when we embark this Friday. Important question - what bars will be open on deck 15?!

Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to bring a variety of the items mentioned and figure out which works best!

I will be bringing some battery powered Christmas lights and other knick knacks to decorate my cabin for our upcoming cruise. I would like to put some of the lights on my door and balcony and plan on putting some other decorations around the cabin. Looking for advice on successful ways to place everything. Thanks!

Drop your bags and passengers and then park - easy! :)

Thanks!

It has been several years since we have cruised out of PC. How does the luggage drop off work? I remember going to a port where we first dropped off our luggage, then drove to another area to unload passengers, and finally the driver parked and met up with the group. Is this the process for PC? Thanks!

Enjoyed your video. Makes me even more excited to sail on her later this month!

We are going to Maya Chan at the end of this month. So excited, Thanks for your report!

We are on the Oasis of the Seas

My family likes to get 4 balconies in a row and have the dividers opened. It is a great way to socialize without having to knock on the individual doors to find everyone and see if they want to hang out. This will be our first time on Royal so I am hoping we will be able to do the same thing.

You made my day, Thanks!

I have the Deluxe package, are the Spirited coffees in Café Promenade included?

Thanks for the replies. They are elderly and pretty set in their ways. Even though I'm sure the pill form would work just fine they swear by their juice!

We are booked on the Oasis of the Seas Holiday cruise in December. Both of my parents drink joint juice, a combination of chondroitin and glucosamine, for their arthritis. The mixture is packaged in 8 oz. plastic bottles and they would need to bring 14 bottles between the 2 of them. What are the chances of getting these past security? It is not a prescribed item, very similar to the over-the-counter pills. Thanks!

My family will be visiting Falmouth in December and want to do a white water tubing excursion other than the ones offered by Royal Caribbean. Any ideas? Who have you used recently that has been outstanding? Have you used shoreexcursioner.com or another third party company and have had a good experience?

Thanks!

Thanks for the responses. We will probably just go ahead and get her one.

My siblings and I am contemplating getting my mother a drink package for our upcoming Christmas cruise. This will be our first time on Royal but we have sailed Carnival several times. My mom likes the casino and usually donates quite a lot of money to the casino gods. On Carnival she received free drinks after donating a certain amount of money. Does Royal offer any type of free drink incentive package to encourage continued donations? We would hate to spend the money on a package if she will be getting free drinks at the casino. Thanks!

Cost of the taxi from the beach back to the port depends upon which beach.

 

Palm Beach to the port $11

Eagle Beach to the port $10

Druif Beach to the port $9

Surfside/Nikky Beach to the port $7

 

Taxis by law carry a maximum of 5 people and there is a charge of an extra $3 on Sundays and National Holidays

Thank you!

Oops! My mistake. That is for Irie Tours in Curacao. I had just answered an Irie question so I was still in Curacao mode. :)

 

We took the $30 tour w/Sonny. Here's the description, per Sonny:

 

The places of interest on the itinerary are the Lighthouse, Alto Vista Chapel, Natural Bridge and the Rock Formations. There will be other photo stops along the way, including the beautiful coastline. The tour is 3 hours long and the cost is US$30.00 per person.

 

Absolutely delighful time with Sonny! Is his a GREAT guy! The van only holds no more than 20 people (maybe) so it's much better than the huge buses the cruise lines use. It's also air conditioned which you'll appreciate if your tour is in the afternoon like ours was. He meets the group inside the cruise terminal. When you get to the rock formations, he is the ONLY guide who escorts his group to the top. He said he likes to go with them for safety reasons mainly and to point out things when at the top. At the end of the tour, he can drop you off at Palm Beach or Eagle Beach. Both are gorgeous! However, Eagle Beach has NO restroom facilities. Sonny said at Palm Beach you can use the hotel facilities across the street. We were tired and ready to eat so we went back to the ship, ate lunch and then came back down to the shopping area for a little while. Just a wonderful time!!

We are taking this tour in June. Did Sonny mention if he would drop some off at the beach and take some back to the ship? There are 10 in our group and I'm thinking my parents will want to return to the ship but the rest of us would want to go to Palm Beach. Also, did he say how much it would be to get a taxi back to the ship from Palm Beach? Thanks!

I have been on this diet for about 2.5 weeks. Love it! This is my first official diet ever so I have been really strict with following the guidlines and have lost 15 lbs. I have also added brisk walking for 30 minutes 5 times a week. I think the plan is easy to follow and not as restrictive as Adkins or Southbeach. I had wanted to loose 15 lbs by my 1/27 cruise and have met that goal. I'm shooting for 5 more!
