Thank you! I asked this question at Antigua group and got answers: Galleon Long Bay Deep Bay Of course it away of beaten path and we will probably have problems getting taxi.

We are pretty adventurous and not from US originally … Of so we thought. We went to our local Dim sum (Chinese restaurant) and ordered from menu… not looking at presented items. Our 5 years old ordered Chicken fingers. Well… they turned out to be real chicken fingers with nails and everything! I am from country which went through some rough periods so people did use many chicken entrails like liver, hearts etc, but that was completely waste-free cooking.

Seems like a popular dish https://www.google.com/search?tbs=lf:1,lf_ui:9&tbm=lcl&sxsrf=AJOqlzWUl2DIEYjwVIkqj2BOmMPUvMZNrQ:1674415885578&q=fish+tacos+new+jersey&rflfq=1&num=10&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj1qMOg9dv8AhWHF1kFHfrSC04QjGp6BAgREAE&biw=1355&bih=588&dpr=1#rlfi=hd:;si:;mv:[[41.059916799999996,-73.97806969999999],[39.332320599999996,-75.1408252]];tbs:lrf:!1m4!1u3!2m2!3m1!1e1!1m4!1u2!2m2!2m1!1e1!1m4!1u1!2m2!1m1!1e1!1m4!1u1!2m2!1m1!1e2!1m4!1u22!2m2!21m1!1e1!2m1!1e2!2m1!1e1!2m1!1e3!3sIAE,lf:1,lf_ui:9

You can have Taco with anything. I ate one with Bison meat and another with Ostrich in Arizona in very authentic restaurant. And there were many other interesting choices.

We have been many times in Antigua and visited following beaches: Dickenson Jolly - several times Turners Ffryes Honeymoon (very briefly) We found some snorkeling in Turners and Ffryes, although I cannot describe it as very interesting. Are there any beaches with better snorkeling in your opinion? In some reason I thought Ffryes was recommended for it, but we were not impressed. Thank you!

Solarium is full ... well, it is popular. It was full on our sailing in June too. We noticed it and started coming earlier (we are early risers). The best experience was September 2021 with 2100 guests on board. Of course RCI cannot operate like this forever. We had decent buffet, but food is very subjective.

Put your phone on Airplane Mode. No cell data usage! Buy ship's WiFi. WiFi cost depends on sale price before your cruise. During your cruise it depends on your status with Crown & Anchor and how many days you are buying.

Sailing in regular accommodations we only had slippers ones. On Queen Mary 2. Didn’t use them, but they made for a nice souvenir.

Flu/cold we brought from Grandeur in January 2019 was much nastier than Covid we had 3 times after cruises.

I don’t think we saw many people wearing masks on Enchantment last March. 12 dayer, older crowd. It was also crowded in places like Schooner or Boleros. Still almost no one had masks. We didn’t get sick back then. My husband got sick on Anthem now. 11 dayer, older crowd, almost no masks. On Anthem during Thanksgiving we had 1300+ kids and many young people. Haven’t seen much coughing. I got sick on Adventure in September. 9 days to New England and Canada. Older crowd. No logic whatsoever.

I know … just seems a bit complicated to use it all the time.

Eh… not sure you can completely avoid crowds on cruises. How can avoid eating indoors? No MDR at all?

Last January everyone was wearing masks at all times and many still got infected/sick including us. Then we were on 5 maskless cruises during which each of us got sick once. Not sure about direct connections between masks and getting sick.

This is a whole point. You can use 5464645 devices, but only 4 at the same time if you buy 4 device package.

Do you know if you listened? I guess they do, as last several times I really listened app first before arriving there and they just registered my card while during my first cruises after pandemics they had briefing.

You register there. Show your card. Sometimes you have crew member who will show you how to wear jacket. You also need to listen to instructions on your Rpyal app. Process is much more pleasant now and no huge gatherings.

This is said. I thought they either sell whole lobster or divide it.

You can always choose it as it is on menu. I wish they would give an prion tail or claws. I LOVE claws more. What do they do with them? 🥰

Thank you. This makes sense! There are still some precautions that make sense to use even if they are not forced.

We usually never go to WJ for dinners. Last week on Anthem we did twice and surprisingly we found variety and quality very decent! We were a bit disappointed by lunch options in Solarium Cafe. It was extremely limited and quality often was weak. Especially last day (11 days cruise). During this cruise we either skipped lunches in WJ due to being ashore or in Solarium. We LOVED breakfasts in WJ.

We work from home so especially for me (my husband does food shoppings) we do not have almost any interactions with people outside aside from cruises. We are learning new behaviors for sure.

We: 1. Report to Muster Station 2. Eat in buffet if already open 3. Had to Solarium pool/jacuzzies with a drink to wait till cabins are open. 4. When rooms are open we either organize our clothes if we have our luggage 5. Head to Solarium for swim and sailaway. Especially on Anthem.

Just remembered .. in June on Oasis woman in mask entered elevator and started attacking people for not wearing masks. It was so crazy. People should mind their own business. Of course this goes both ways.

I though wearing seatbelts to be safer was a good thing. Not? Getting Covid and getting killed in the accident are different things.

We bring tests too. Just in case we aren’t feeling well and want to check.
