I dont remember the original itinerary for this 9 night sailing but I think they are only missing one port, St thomas. Shame they couldnt arrange an overnight at one of the islands but all the cruiselines have been re-arranging so it cannot be easy. Edit, I just looked up original itinerary was PR, St Thomas and St Maarten so they only lost 1 stop. Not bad. I much rather go to st kitts than st Thomas.

Not really just commenting, giving opinions on what others are reporting on their cruises. None of these comments are my thoughts alone. Other's are saying the same things. What am saying is nothing new, it's out there on this site. But if you only read what you want to hear, that is fine too. No one is forcing you to read anything or comment on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're choosing not to cruise now that masks are req'd on c/vv, as well as in areas on rc such as casino/theater/etc, but I still encourage those choosing to cruise to have a great time. But you're certainly free to try to put a damper on others...sure they appreciate ya. Edited January 4, 2022 by bucfan2 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiperHolliday Posted January 4, 2022 #157 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Adding the pictures after the fact did not help to drive home the thought that Jimbo's home is better than a cruise ship. It did the opposite for me LOL 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LATTELOVE Posted January 4, 2022 #161 Share Posted January 4, 2022 My question for today is, How are they handling taking profesional photos in the evenings? Are people still lining up to take pictures, or do you need to schedule an appointment? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgtp Posted January 4, 2022 Author #162 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I had to get Triple meat. 😂. So just saw the USS COVID.

I have even seen some ppl getting 15 min photo shoots, in all sort of poses. Some ppl are very photogenic others prefer to stay off camera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LATTELOVE Posted January 4, 2022 #164 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Thank you for answering all of my questions so quick. All appreciated. You are great!! Wow!! I did not know there was such thing as a USS COVID, that is totally cool. At least they are taking this stuff seriously and doing something about it. Do you know if there has been any outbreaks on this cruise, guests or workers??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted January 4, 2022 #165 Share Posted January 4, 2022 That's a joke. It's actually the Rhapsody hanging around San Maarten picking up Covid employees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's making extra money for the cruise line they are doing it, afterall this is a business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewebbys Posted January 4, 2022 #167 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Question: Is iFly open and what days? Are they doing reservations on the app? Is it still free? Thanks in advance for any answers.

Thanks in advance for any answers. Keep her running for us as we will board this beautiful lady after you depart. I was on 12/12 cruise. Yes, it is free, sort of. A limited amount. Only on port days at certain times and they go quickly. It is on the royal app but only released at 8:00 on the day of. By 8:02, all the free spots are taken. Of course there are many other times you can purchase it- I believe its $49.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If cabin mate doesn't want to try it, you can go a second time their slot. As mentioned, be ready at 8AM on port days (and embarkation day) - only 4 persons per time slot. Keep checking after 8AM - on the day I booked the second slot, booking didn't open till 8:05. Edited January 5, 2022 by Biker19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are at 1.3% crew positive. We will now go to St Marteen tomorrow and St Kitts the following day. Crew to be moved to quarantine ship at St Marteen. Only positive is I have never been to St Kitts. So I might actually get off this ship this trip Any suggestions for St Kitts? Beaches shopping local breweries? We take a cab to Marriott St Kitts. You can buy pool pass about. $10 but we walk straight thru past casino on right and hotel lobby on left and continue past pool to the beach and walk left of the pool to the adjoining public beach that is always empty on week days. We stop in Marriott casino 🎰 before heading back to ship. They have nickel video poker and simulcast horse and dog racing. Inexpensive gambling day. St Kitts reminds me of Hawaii. So lush and uncrowded. My fav island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcord by iFly is the same thing thing. Northstar is free too but the same thing goes- reservations open at 8 and go quickly, although I found Northstar to be slightly easier to get than ifly. Also, Northstar is only free in port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
