How do you know what other ships will be in port when you are there?? I'd like to know for my cruise in September. Thanks!

I'm 149 days out from my next one and the one after that is 443 days away! UGH. Can't cruise nearly as much as I want either due to W-O-R-K.

We do the same.

Check out: http://royalportfolio.com/ Go to destinations drop down, pick your port and enjoy all of the info!!!

It's SOOOOO nice!!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!

Welcome! See attached...it's says it is for Harmony of the Seas but the info is the same across the fleet. Answers many of your questions. Enjoy! Cruise News Harmony 2019 Drinking.pdf

I bet they do! And if not, take the list and tell them how to make it since all of the ingredients are listed.

I'm going to try! LOL!!!!!!

I was thinking the same - that it has to be pretty much the same across the fleet. I don't know about Virgin drinks. I like all of mine with a kick! LOL

I wish I just come back from one! No, my family went mid-March on the Oasis. We had to cancel because I was laid off last year. Prayers for smooth sailing! I've never been to Bermuda, would love to go someday.

This was posted somewhere on Cruise Critic. Not sure where it came from but it's awesome!! It's drink packages explained and for those that "already know this stuff" it's noted that any changes to the RCCL Drink policies are noted in red in the article. This document ALSO contains Harmony's Bar Menu and Drink Listing WITH prices!! LAST BUT NOT LEAST...the last 4 pages documents the names of special drinks and how they are made so you can make them at home for yourself OR you will know what to order on your next cruise. I love this pdf and wanted to share with you all. Enjoy!!! Cruise News Harmony 2019 Drinking.pdf

Thanks! I always saw those on cruises and wondered what they were too! I always thought they were cameras checking all the people at the pool out. LMAO!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info! And I am SO SUPER JEALOUS that you are sailing in 30 days!!!!!!

Someone posted PDF about Drink Packages and ALL of the drinks and how they are made recently. I don't remember who that was but maybe someone else does and can send you the link. I printed it and it's at home in my cruise file.

I can't recommend anything for Phillipsburg (other than excursions) since we did the excursion to Nevis (so awesome) on one cruise and the swimming with the dolphins on another cruise (what an experience!) BUT...for San Juan, we've been there many times. Yes, it's a short stop but plenty to do in Old San Juan which is literally right across the street from the ship's pier. The fort is right there too. Pretty cool to walk around and it's free. I recommend eating at any of the many restaurants in Old San Juan. Our favorites in Old San Juan: Punto de Vista Rooftop Restaurant <- Our favorite Marmalade Restaurant & Wine Bar For Dessert: Casa Cortes Chocobar 210 Calle de San Francisco Also, for a cool keep-sake to San Juan, I recommend you stop at Mi Pequeno. We stumbled across this artist painting Old San Juan Plaster door steps. They are gorgeous. Every time we go, I get a new one and they are all hanging in my bathroom. So colorful, I love them! Check out their website http://www.mipequenosanjuan.com

My family was on the Oasis mid-March and that was one of the ports they visited. This is BY FAR my favorite port of all time. I love it. I love Maho Beach too (beach where the airplanes land right over your head). Even though there were reports that Maho Beach was completely washed away/eroded from the Hurricane, they went. The Sunset Beach Bar was up and running and they loved it. Maho Beach wasn't completely obliterated and it's coming back. Although, it will take a LONG time for it to be the huge beach it once was. My family said there was a "piece" of the beach left that allowed enough room for maybe 20 beach chairs and umbrellas and an area for people to stand to be directly under the planes as they land. Other beaches are still great as pictured by other posts here. I mean, just LOOK at that water! It's heavenly. I love it and can't wait to visit my favorite island again next summer.

Hi! So, I am traveling with my 75 year old Mom in September to mentioned ports. A few questions: Some of these piers are super long. Does the Pier or Royal provide transportation from the ship up to the port town and the other way around too? My Mom gets exhausted when walking far and while that may not be far for some people, for her it really is. Is there a service that is a golf cart or something that can transport her/us from the port town to ship or ship to port town so she doesn't have to make that trek? If so, who do I arrange this with? Same question for scooter rentals. Wondering how this works. Thank you all in advance for the help! I want to make this trip as painless and effortless for my Mom as possible. I don't want her to stress about the walking.

Did you find that the drive to and from the ship was long? It looks like it's a good 35 minute drive? Thanks for the comment! I think we will do this!!!!!

Yes, very convenient for this Houston girl!

Love it! I just LOVE reading blogs about cruises. It takes me there! Can you tell me where on this website I can access others? I'm kinda a newbie to this site so I am not sure where they are all located. Thanks again for sharing!!!!

Cool! I will read tomorrow while I am at work to kill time! LOL!!!!

Matt, are you on the cruise right now that goes to Cozumel, Costa Maya, etc? I want to say I remember someone commenting that you were on a cruise this week?

Hahahahahahahaha! Thank you!

I agree. Yay RCI!

I'm not on this cruise but feel bad for those who were and now have to change their plans so close the sail date. I was thinking...what if they had to fly there? Change fees on airlines aren't cheap. Bummer!!!!!
