We are traveling March 23, 2019 on Symphony. My daughter really wants to do Atlantis Aqua adventure.. we were going to give it a try because the original departing time was 6. It has now changed to 4... the excursion still shows on the cruise planner but I wonder if Royal will cancel that excursion. It is so much money for possibly under 4 hours at the resort. I also find the reason odd.. I am not scientific in the least but I do not understand the low water at the port of Miami...any ocean experts out there?? Do rising and lower tides effect the port. The good news is my cruise is close enough they are emailing me!!! Dear Guest, We have an itinerary update to share with you for our March 23, 2019, Symphony of the Seas cruise. As a result of low water depths and docking issues at the port in Miami, Florida, we’ve adjusted the time we will be in Nassau, Bahamas. We’ll now be there at 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM instead of 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM to ensure we arrive back in Miami as scheduled.

Thanks again for pictures, it does look very crowded. I would most likely do what you did.

Was it a nice beach? How much sea grass

This is so scary! I was actually going to book this exact excursion, but because Costa Maya restricts ATV to 60 years or younger we switched the ATV to Roatan. I feel so sad for this couple. What a tragedy.

It ends with a beach, what beach were you at? Thanks for th pictures!

Thank you! We were camping and without it phone service. I’m hoping to decide before Black Friday. ???. It sounds fun and non stress. We are 60... we may fit right in

We are considering the following excursion offered through Royal http://www.royalcaribbean.com/shoreExcursions/product/detail/view.do?sourcePage=shorexByPort&ProductCode=CMA5&DestinationCode= Has anyone done this excursion? It is at Mahahaul beach. I think the dancing sounds fun! If I can get hubby to participate. Thanks in advance for any help.

WOW Chihuly Garden and Glass pictures are amazing!! I have only been to Seattle once, but I have family there now. I will be visiting soon and I must go to the Garden. I'm looking forward to your blog!!

I now want CHEESECAKE!! LOL It is also one of my favorites

Thanks!! I am a planner by nature. I love these boards. I’m very happy real cheesecake and I will try that red velvet one.

My brother and sister in law will be joining us on our Anniversary Extravaganza on Symphony of the Seas March 2019. This is our first cruise, their second. They swore they would never cruise again after a Carnival cruise, but after I sent them some great links on the ship they are coming. Sister in law is big into desserts and was so upset that they didn't have REAL cheesecake on the Carnival ship. Anyone know if they have real cheesecake on Royal? LOL very silly question I know, but I am now curious. I have read mixed reviews on the food..

Thank you! She will be in charge of pictures. LOL

She really has no desire to snorkel so it is OK, but I agree if it wasnt for the insulin pump she is capable of snorkeling. She is very active otherwise. I am glad to hear it wont be unusual for her to just tag along.

That’s what I had hoped to hear. ?. She can’t take video and pics. She is hilarious. They will enjoy her. ????

we are going to reserve the Starfish sanctuary and Snorkeling excursion. My sister wears a insulin pump and will most likely not be snorkeling. If she pays the fee can she just stay in the boat? I hate to leave her alone on the ship .

I am new to cruising, and I just purchased the BOGO specialty dining. It took me 4 or 5 tries to get all my people included... the website is NOT user friendly. LOL I am like little kid at Christmas. I can't wait til March 23 2019.

well if I like cruising as much as I THINK I will I plan on taking quite a few, especially after I retire I may make Diamond

We are all so excited!! I would love to go on an Alaskan cruise also.

Congratulations!! How many cruises do you have to take to get Diamond. LOL I'm starting late in life...

March 23, 2019 celebrating our 40th Anniversary on Western Caribbean Cruise. Symphony of the Seas. This will be our first cruise!! Accompanying us are my daughter and son in law, sister and brother in law. They are both celebrating 20th Anniversary. It is our Anniversary extravaganza

Great idea!

I will be going on my first cruise in March, I want to go a little crazy. Thanks for the link! My daughter does calligraphy, and it is our anniversary cruise. I may have her make up something very unique.

I'm getting it for convenience, I most likely will not drink enough to be ahead, BUT my husband will get his money's worth. :)

That is a possibility, hubby has lost quite a bit of weight and if he wears his existing suits they will need tailoring

We will be flying into Miami March 22 2019. It is still to early to book, but I plan on setting an alarm for 90 days out!!
