Select restaurants and bars will be open. Disembarkation day is mostly about enjoying some time onboard in the form of sitting and relaxing. The advantage of staying onboard instead of going to the airport is your food/drink is still included onboard, and arguably more relaxing on the ship.

Harmony and Freedom have delayed departures.

I designed the group cruises to be as inclusive as possible. So I want you to feel very welcome in joining us for the events. In fact, a vast majority of events are open to everyone. Here is a list of events that we have on the schedule so far. Please feel free to join us, because I want you to be a part of the fun! http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/royal-caribbean-blog-navigator-of-the-seas-group-cruise-events

Magen's Bay has a great deal of natural beauty. Rose Hall's beach is not nearly as spectacular but it's the Caribbean, so the water is a beautiful shade of blue and quite warm. Paradise Beach is also quite nice, but Paradise Beach is more about the various activities in and out of the water than Magen's Bay "take it all in" atmosphere.

That's more than adequate. You will not run into any problems.

I have not taken them personally, but essentially you get a block of time to do what is ordinarily done in any FlowRider session, but with far less people. From what I have seen, these lessons are small group lessons. That means the wait between rides is significantly less, and you can pick it up much faster. If your goal is to really learn to stand up and know how to surf the FlowRider without falling down in less than 3 seconds, the lessons make a big difference.

Any and all drink package discounts can be found at Royal Caribbean's Cruise Planner site. I have yet to see any real discounts offered onboard.

Definitely age appropriate. We went there with 4 children, ranging in age from 1-5 years old and no issues. We went in the morning before any drunken behavior was likely to occur. It seemed like anyone there to drink was at the bar, which was a fair distance from the pool. While it served its purpose (a free place for the kids to swim while we watched and enjoy a drink), I wouldn't plan another day around here again. It's nice for like an hour, but I felt like it was essentially the same experience as being on the ship's pool deck, and at least there food is complimentary and my drink package works.

Ah, ok. Since you are My Time Dining, I'd recommend reading this guide to MTD: http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2015/06/04/what-you-need-know-about-royal-caribbeans-my-time-dining

There you go. Thanks!

Depends on the length of cruise and which stateroom you are booking. Here's a pretty good breakdown: http://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2016/08/11/royal-caribbean-next-cruise-program-details-info-and-tips

I enjoyed the shows on Oasis, too. Come Fly With me still stands out in my mind as a great show.

So why wouldn't they prohibit rebooking everywhere then if it is indeed not related to government laws/regulations?

Which port are you referring to?

Unless you are in My Time Dining, there's nothing to book ahead of time, in terms of complimentary meals. Unless I am eating in a specialty restaurant, I eat in the MDR for dinner. To me, it is a big piece of the cruise experience.

Maybe Michelle noted in your reservation "This guy really likes Flan and the chef thinks he's totally surprising you" :lol:

I have not seen any details, but if you really want to figure it out, you could look at her 2017 schedule and try to find the 2 week gap in sailings.

From what I understand, the repricing rules have more to do with local laws than anything else. I'm no legal expert, so I cannot provide specifics, but it is the rationale I have heard in the past. Thinking about it logically, why have different rules arbitrarily for different countries? Seems like if there were no legal reason for doing so, RC would be making their life more difficult.

I have Sky Class booked on Anthem and contemplated moving up to Star class for the benefits, but it's quite a substantial price difference that I'm not certain it makes sense for me.

I did the train in St. Kitts, but we did not do the catamaran option.

My brain says 270, but heart says CP North Star Wonderland

As others have said, boarding times with RC are suggestions, not a requirement. Show up whenever you please.

Glad to hear you saved some money!
