I would if Spreadshirt offered them. I'd have to offer lanyards from some other site, which is less than ideal.

Think of it like going to the bar. You can, but up to you. The included gratuity is definitely more than adequate.

Agreed, load up an iPad

Thank you for supporting our sponsor! Thank you for supporting our sponsor! And you're so right, cruising with friends is the way to go!

Yes

This is a really good deal. One cheaper alternative is you could just text message. Even while roaming, texting is super cheap. But $10/day is still a bargain.

Definitely not rude. In fact, I'd tell you book it anyway and decide later if you want to show up or not. You can always cancel the reservation onboard if it's weighing on your conscious

I think if you've never done a behind-the-scenes tour, it's worth it. The galley is cool, but the bridge and engine room are far more interesting.

I know they have had two ships in Labadee on the same day, but I don't recall if that's occurred in CocoCay

Which ports are you visiting? Don't forget that ports like Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and St. Croix are part of the USA and your cell phone plan will work there normally.

You can also ask the Captain. He is usually around the ship, and might have a more precise time.

You're thinking of NCL. RC does have cruises that go to Hawaii, but only on re-positioning cruises.

Correct. The programming is age-specific and while your youngest grand child might prefer to be with the older ones, I am sure he/she will have a great time in their group.

Another factor: Navigator's WiFi speeds won't be able to handle video streaming

How old? We've traveled with both of our kids when they were as young as 6 months. Most medicine is not safe for kids under a certain age. I also seem to recall toddlers are less susceptible to motion sickness because of their own lack of motor skills (or at least I thought that's what I heard from my wife or doctor).

As I understand it, the comedy show in the theater is a headliner show, whereas the Comedy Live on deck 4 is a lesser-featured act. Decent chance. Most of the time, comedians get on at one port and off at another. They don't seem to travel with the ship for weeks at a time. Or at least,that's been my observation.

Royal Caribbean does not really cruise to Hawaii on a regular basis. The closest they do are re-positioning cruises between Australia/Seattle that stop in Hawaii.

No they cannot.

Thanks for sharing this tidbit!

I believe per person

Exactly

Even if you don't rent a cabana, the beach is less crowded

I think it definitely skews towards ships that are based in North America and the more popular ships tend to get more attention.

I'm drinking it as I type this and it's pretty darn good for free.
