Labadee is one of our favorite beach ports. We will attempt to be the first ones off the ship and hurry to Nellie's Beach and snag our favorite spot...Close to the bar but under one of the few palm trees that provide a little shade...Not that that we sit much but spend most of the day in the water. However, close to a bar is important.

Buy meds on the ship. Psycho had a head cold one trip and had to purchase medicine from the ship's store at about the double our home price. Lesson learned and we now cruise full stocked.

Where are you located? In US every state is different and we cannot get them here, even if over 65. I have already rec'd mine and want my husband to be able to get his too.
We are also in Florida...North West Florida and its being given by our county.

Barb got her Moderna COVID-19 vaccine shot yesterday...She's a RN at our local hospital. She was not scheduled to receive it yet but she was assisting in giving it to other Doctors and Nurses. A couple of people scheduled failed to show up. After the Moderna is removed from the cold storage, it must be used in a few hours or it goes to waste...So she got it a little early. No side effects so far.

Sorry to say but the strangest thing we've seen is one of them things we will never be able to forget.
On the Oasis of the Seas in the Solarium pool. An intoxicated elderly gentlemen was...Less just say...He was enjoying the water pressure jets on the center fountain way to much and didn't care what the other guests thought. A pool attendant was called and arrived just as the gentleman was...Done. Pool was closed, drained and cleaned.

We are sort of in the same boat for our 18 Apr 2021 cruise out of Puerto Rico on Freedom of the Seas. We have seen some great deals on airfare but we are very hesitant to buy not knowing if that cruise will sail or not. We lost quite a bit on two tickets to California for my Mom's 80th Birthday. That was just as the Covid was kicking off and all Delta would give us was one year extension and no change fee.

More at Thanksgiving...Barb's an AWESOME cook...Lol

We always declare everything. However, We don't list the quantity of items...Just what we paid. IE. Cigarettes $20.00, Alcohol $35.00. We have had a Custom Agent ask a time or two how many we bought for the amount listed..We honestly tell them how much we purchased. We have only been asked to pay duty one time..Of course it was alcohol and with the duty, it was still cheaper then we could buy it at home. I was told one time by a Custom Agent one that as long as you declare everything...Then its up to the agent, if you are to be charged duty. But he also said if you don't declare it and we find it...Its going to cost you a lot more.

Psycho always brings his CPAP and fills out the special needs form. Sometimes the ext cord and distilled water are in our room waiting on us and other times its not. Never been a big deal...Just asked our room attendant and they have always made it happen. Did one time get a super long heavy duty ext cord but the room attendant always put it away in the morning.

Princess Cruise lines has suspended global operations.
Princess Cruises has not had the best track record. They have experienced the most norovirus outbreaks (and other gastrointestinal illnesses) of any other cruise line over the last decade.

Well yesterday was interesting for us. Unfortunately for us, its not the CDC recommendations stopping us from our 5 Apr cruise...Its Work!!! We are cruising with our son and family. Yesterday our sons boss informed him he would be required to self quarantine for 14 days after he returns. Barb who is an RN found out yesterday also that she will have to self quarantine for 14 days after we get home. I work for Uncle Sam and so far have no requirement to self quarantine...YET.
So since Royal has offed the 48 hour cancellation rule...We are going to chill and see what develops. Then decide if we want to cancel or spend the extra leave.

On the Allure last year they had a Cigar under the stars event. It was listed in the daily planner and I believe it was every night thing.

The biggest problem is there seems to be no consistence on what is allowed and what is not allowed. Anything with a 110v port may be confiscated by the ports contract security during check-in one cruise and not the next cruise. If its in our luggage it may or may not require a trips to the naughty room...Just depends on who is doing the scanning. Since just about all of our electronics are USB rechargeable, we only us this USB charger hub and have never had a problem.

The system does allow someone to kick off someone else.
Barb and I seem to kick each other several times during a cruise because we always only get one device. Its more funny than an annoyance for us. But can see how it could be a problem. Grandson asked for my code last year...Didn't happen but I did let him use my iPad to text some of his friends.

We have always filled it out and had it ready to use but the customs lines always seems to move fast for us...Might just be luck of the draw. Now the Facial Recognition at the Port of Miami is truly awesome and fast...Hope they install it in all ports

Digital and Print photo packages are sold on a per stateroom basis only and photos are linked to staterooms based on the guests travelling in that stateroom. Photos of other guests not travelling in your stateroom will be linked to their own stateroom.

We did this with my immediate family (me, husband and two kids) in one stateroom and my MIL & FIL in another room. Any pictures (all of us together, or even just my kids with my in-laws) were tied to both staterooms. Pics with only my in-laws were not tied to my account, and vice versa. Where it says in the terms & conditions that Group photography isn't included in photo packages, they must be referring to special groups like the events and private sessions they list. About 90% of the "regular" photos taken on the ship are of groups, like a whole family posing on a stairwell. If those weren't included, no one would ever buy a photo package. And when people from multiple staterooms are in the same picture, how would they decide which stateroom to limit that photo to? That's why they can be tied to multiple accounts, or at least that's how I understand it and how it worked in my case.
@Brobbins246 I wished we would of been able to do as you were able to do...Sure would of saved us some money. We had about the same situation as you last year on the allure. Us in one room and our son, wife and grandson in room next to ours...Our reservations were linked but were two different reservations. We tried but were told we couldn't include any photos in our package if any of the pictures had my son, wife or grandson in them because they were not staying in our stateroom. They cited the disclaimer we listed above but the person we were dealing with specifically referred to "The following are not included in print and/or digital photo packages: Photos of others in your party not travelling in your stateroom" We even tried running it up the food chain but the supervisor and manager agreed with the fine print.
Maybe we got bad info...Wouldn't be the first time from Royal. Hopefully the OP will have better luck on their cruise.

We sure hope they don’t screw up Labadee...We like it just the way it is! More choices in food would be a great option. Use to love Cococay when it had the chickens running around the island...So small and beautiful

No. The only photos covered under the package are persons in the room of the person who purchased the photo package. This is what is listed under the term and conditions of the photo package

I did see an article elsewhere that the crew of the Diamond Princess will be receiving 2 months off WITH pay as a way of saying Thank You for going through all this.
Does that mean the ship will be not sailing for two months? That’s a lot of time to clean and disinfect.

Yeah, I have no family, and they are far too big to bring to anyone else's house (we need a large yard with a 6' fence to contain them, lol). Kenneling doesn't work well for us for many reasons, one of which is that we feed raw, and kennels aren't equipped to handle that.
We might look into just having someone stop by and check on them a couple of times a day. We have doggie doors so they can go in and out to the backyard to do their business...The majority of their time is spent laying around and sleeping

Are you thinking of the SS Azure Seas? That was our first ever cruise...Out of Cali. Here is an old link to some discussion on it.
