Great! We will be on that ship and itinerary in April. I will be following you along - enjoy your trip!

Can you please find out for me if Chops or Giovanni's is open for lunch at all? Also, what besides the Windjammer is open on Embarkation day?

 

Thank you and looking forward to living vicariously through you this next week! :D

wow....how wise was that!!! is simpson bay an all-inclusive resort???

Good thing that you booked the airfare through RCI but I would still be upset that you are missing a good portion of the cruise - lesson for all, fly in the day before a cruise; anyone that does it the day of is just asking fro trouble....

 

Look forward to hearing how you enjoyed your few nights on the Island and finally seeing the ship

Hi, we have not found either Chops or Giovanni's Table to be open for lunch. Also, since we missed embarkation day (cancelled flight) I can't answer about the Windjammer. However, in the past, that has been about the only option. Now, since there is a promenade on this ship, maybe one of those places was open as well.

Dolphins: We chose not to do a drink package this time and what luck, considering we didn't get on board until St. Maarten. An eight night cruise became a five nighter for us.

ddsdoc: Simpson Bay was not all-inclusive. We paid for all our meals, but will be reimbursed for those by RCI. If you ever have this happen to you, keep ALL receipts.
