One of the things that was nice about the drink package was trying new drinks.  If you didn't like it.  You could always get something else and did not feel you are wasting your money.  We found a few new drinks we like and a few we would never try again.

We won $500 last year.  It shows up as on on board credit and it took a couple of days for it to show.

I have used Lyft and have had no problems with drop off or pick up.

Find a local dive shop around your home and go ask them.  Maybe even get fitted for a mask while you are there.  The are not too expensive and make a world of difference in your snorkeling experience.

We just tried to use the OB credit for an paid upgraded (Jr Suit to full suit)casino comped cruise and they said it was not allowed.

My understanding is you can buy the ferry tickets at the ferry terminal.  I believe there are 3 different ferry lines and the all charge about the same and leave from the same area.

You can't use cash on board for anything but the casino or tips.  You can set up a cash account on the ship but you would have to go to guest services.  Give them your cash.  Then you would use your seapass card to make purchases again the cash account you set up.

Yes, there are ATMs on the ship.  I believe they are in the casino most of the time.  No sure what the current fee is.

Sweet.  We have a 5 night mid August!!!

Unless you are in a suite.  Then it is free.

Thanks for the info.  We might choose this option for our cruise in August.

We did the Dolphin swim in Roatan too.  It was an awesome experience.

You can redeem the award once you have a reservation number and you are less than 90 days from your cruise I believe.  Once you purchase it.  You will get an email that you must send full name and reservation number.  Then in a few days they will let you know it has been added to your account.  Then you should be able to log into the cruise planner and see your $100 reward for pre-purchase items or to use on board the ship.

Just saved another $47 on my drink package from the memorial day sale.  Now I am down to 5 drinks a day.  After that I am making money and getting drunk.

Is the BBC blended, or on the rocks?   Or maybe it doesn’t matter?  

It is blended.

We make them at home now too.

1 shot of Banana liquor

1 1/2 shots Captain Morgan rum and Baileys

3 shots on Pina cola mix.

Then ice 2 large drink cups of ice.  When almost done blending.  Throw in a whole banana.

This will make 2 drinks.

Go to a local dive/scuba shop and ask to be fitted for a mask.  Note the brand and model.  Then see if you can find it cheaper online.  Sometime you can and sometimes the store just might cut you a deal.  You might pay more but it will last for years and years if kept inside and out of the sunlight.

Ultra Jewels in Cozumel was good before the craziness started 3-4 years ago.  I think everyone is going to have low stock.  Mexico does have a tax refund program but it takes a very very very long time.  6 months.  They will tell you otherwise.  Then you have the custom fees when you get back.

I will just say after Hurricane Harvey came through 2 years ago and flooded us with 50 inches of rain in two days.  Royal didn't let us know if the cruise was a go or no until the day before.  Yes a day before.  Lucky for us it is just a 40 minute drive and we had no damage.  I couldn't image the stress level for those trying to fly in when airports had been closed for days.

I would bring a small portable fan.  They help drowned out a lot of noises.  We always travel with one.

Most people are not even going to notice it.  If they do then they think is might be a fake.  Just be mindful of your surroundings and stay in the tourist areas.  Good things don't happen after midnight and down side streets.

I purchased a YG Daytona from Ultra Jewels in Cozumel a few months before the Daytona craziness ( I saved 10K).  I put it on my wrist before I left the shop.  Caught a cab and headed back to the terminal.  I was a little nervous but I was dressed way down.  So, I am sure most people thought it was just some fake gold watch.

You will be fine.  Now there might be some ports that you might not want to wear it ashore at.  Then just lock it in the room safe.  Then again if you have it insured, as you should, then wear it where ever you want.

There are people that travel with lots of watches and jewelry.  Just make sure you have it properly insured and enjoy it.

I like the Ultra Jewels Rolex store but it can be a very expensive excursion.  

The BBC!!!  Delicious!!!!

It is Baileys, Banana liquor, Rum, and Pina colada mix.  Pool side will put in a fresh banana too sometimes.

First drink should be the BBC!!!!!!

Have him meet you along the cruise.
