    Harmony is supposed to be the first ship calling there tomorrow; hopefully someone on board will report back about their experience.
  2. i remember a cafe at the Pirate Museum and I believe there were a few others near it.
  3. I tried to use credits last year for air2sea going to Nassau and they wouldn't allow it. Even using my AA credits the day, before AA changed my flights and at that time they were cancelling flights. I'd fly in the day before and get a hotel close to the airport and get some sleep before the cruise. With all the cancellations lately I'd be a nervous wreck.
  4. We've got a B2B booked for April, I'm optimistic that if things aren't back to pre-pandemic they will atleast be close to the protocols we had on the Adventure in August. In fact just booked my flights and pre-cruise hotel today. I hope that the eastern ports will be open, and pretty confident the Mexican ports will still be open, but if not I'll just sit on my balcony watching that beautiful blue Caribbean sea roll by.
  5. Thanks everyone, based on the comments here and you tube reviews I like the remoteness of Maya Chan. I'll just keep an eye on the sea grass conditions in case I need to find an alternative excursion.
  6. Thanks everyone for the info. I have a few follow up questions. 1. What else is there to do around the Krazy Lobster? 2. Is the sea grass only a problem on the beach in the area of Maya Chan or does it also affect the beaches along Mahahaul?
  7. I've been looking at excursions when we are in Costa Maya next April. Maya Chan appears to be an all inclusive where as Krazy Lobster is a pay as you go; which would be the best to relax on the beach and get a massage?
  8. Depending on the ship there is a coffee shop called Cafe Promenade or Cafe-Latitudes, they have americanos, expressos, lattes, etc (very similar to Starbucks). they serve either Starbucks coffee or Seattle's Best. INMO the coffee served in the dining room and buffet is mediocre to poor at best. Like has been said if the Ship has a stand alone Starbucks that is not included.
  9. I was on the Adventure in August and we got off in Cozumel; took a taxi downtown did some shopping and had a drink and caught a taxi back to the ship. We are vaccinated and no different from pro-Covid with the exception of mask requirements. Unvaccinated could only get off with a RCL excursion.
  10. Okay got a question for those that have had conch fritters. I had them at the British Colonial Hilton in August, they were mostly breading with a small piece of chewy/rubbery conch in them. Are they all like that?
  11. Everyone will be off the ship by 9:30 am, you can request a specific departure time and they will normally accommodate you. I would factor in 20-30 minutes from ship to baggage to customs to out on the curb.
  12. @RaDar You can grab cookies (or any food) from the Windjammer or Cafe Promenade to take back to your room. You should also be able to get small bags of chips at Cafe Promenade to take back to you room. They also sell snacks in the shop at inflated prices, so if Cheeze-its is your go to bring them aboard in unopened boxes/bags. If you have the Deluxe Beverage Package no need to bring on any drinks, I usually get a cocktail to take back to my room at night to enjoy on the balcony; if no balcony find a quiet chair on the upper deck or Promenade.
  13. It was an option on the cruise planner before the cruise, and it was scheduled for lunch on one sea day.
  14. I did the Sushi & Saki lunch on the Adventure last month, and I would highly recommend that one. Other wise you can order ala carte
  15. Yeah I think i may have created a suite snob too. Just came back from the Adventure of the Seas in a JS for the first time, DW loved the tub and extra room. I have to admit I did enjoy the larger room, now she keeps asking me about a JS for our cruise next September.
  16. The few times i purchased the 3 night dining package you are asked to choose either the first or second night and your time and they always assigned me to Chops. Best thing to do is go to one of the specialty restaurants or one of the crew selling dining packages when you get on board and make your reservations for all 3 nights.
  17. I can't say for certain but other venues including the Chefs Table makes allowances for allergies/preferences so I don't see why they wouldn't.
  18. I agree with doing the ruins in Costa Maya, the trip to Tulum from Cozumel is a lot of traveling by ferry and bus for a short time at the ruins.
  19. @Snotarni and @joshgates thanks for the input, we went ahead and booked it for our upcoming Adventure sailing as we both like sushi. I saw a Youtube video of the experience and it looked like a great meal.
  20. Questions for anyone that has tried this. (1) Did you enjoy it? (2) Seems like a lot of food, is it smaller servings? (hate to feel like I am wasting food).
  21. Hi sorry that this happened and hopefully Royal will do something for you. Two questions: Did your hubby ever test positive and which vaccine did he receive? And was the other person vaccinated and if so what vaccine? I wish the CDC would provide us with honest numbers of those who tested positive after being vaccinated and how many vaccinated were capable of transmitting the virus. I doubt we'll ever see that kind of honesty from them.
  22. I do check a bag for a suit, couple pair dress slacks, 3-4 shirts plus the wife's dresses make up/creams/women stuff (stuff that don't pass muster with TSA liquid regs). I use dry cleaner bags to seperate items. This is similar to the case I use
  23. I've done the San Gervasio and chocolate tour thru RC and booked my own tour with Trikes Cozumel; both were good. I've also taken a cab downtown and explored on my own.
  24. The main dining room is not open for lunch on port days; however it is open for breakfast. If you need lunch on port days, your choices are Windjammer, Cafe Promenade and other small shops that vary per ship.
  25. Yes always pick up a few t-shirts at these sales, wonder how they will handle these post pandemic free for alls?
